For those of you that think Ted Ginn JR was not going in the top 10. | FinHeaven - Miami Dolphins Forums

For those of you that think Ted Ginn JR was not going in the top 10.

LoL, yea man they said that Houston wanted Ginn at #10 and they thought they had him because they too figured we'd pick up Quinn, but were scrambling trying to trade the 10th pick after we stole Ginn one pick ahead of them. So yea....... even if we only slid down 2 spots we still would not have gotten Ginn!!!
 
What do you expect Mueller to say..."we took Ginn with the 9th pick because we knew he would fall to the 2nd round".

Please, this is damage control on Mueller and Cam's part. There was every indication that Ginn was going to fall in the bottom of the 1st or early 2nd because of his foot problem. Again, not everyone can be wrong and only Cam/Mueller right!
 
But wait, according to many experts on this site (and ESPN) Ginn was a 2nd round talent?

I love Mueller.
 
Linehan of St.Louis also admitted yesterday he was going to take Ginn at 13 ... Nice to see the braintrusts of the NFL know alot more about football players than people on this board.. Not that I ever doubted that ..
 
Every team has different holes to fill.......houston just signed matt shaub and has a QB and a good defence now.No one from houston is running this story.Just rumours.nothing more....Also , texans now have mario ,the rookie and ryan in the front 7.how good is that.young early 20 playmakers.

Take Bush he went in the fourth round due to an injury .He was expected top 10.Injures do count.

well there's a bit of a difference between an ankle injury that doesn't require surgery, and a running back who had a titanium rod screwed into his leg
 
I guess we are lucky we got a WR with a serious foot injury. :rolleyes:

I loved the pick at first, but the news that he could miss quite some time because of his foot is making this pick sour.

"I know for a fact two teams were ready to take [Ginn] if we passed," Mueller said. (The NFL Network has reported Houston wanted Ginn with the 10th pick.)

I don't know if this has been posted but i'm sure glad those of you that said we could have had Ginn Jr. in the second round are not our GM'S.

I called this pick. I remember one of the poster's had a post that was asking God to make Quinn fall to MIA. Then I interrupted the prayer and asked God to ignore the poster and give us Ginn Jr.

I guess we can see who God listens to...:wink:
 
if you were to look at espn draft guide earlier in the draft, they had Ginn going to #7 minnesota, because they coveted his speed. remember this whole thing was because the dolphins and many other teams for that matter graded john beck and brady quinn almost even. so why pay quinn #9 money and a training camp hold out. plus as you ccan see by the dolphins draft the dolphins really covet speed. and ginn has speed out the wazooooo...

It's not an ankle injury! It's a foot injury that he's had for almost 4 months and he still is questionable to be ready for camp! C'mon read between the lines! They picked him because they love his family. This is damage control. The Dolphins are the laughing stock of the league so everybody's trying to help their image out. This is Ted Ginn college stats 59 catches - 13.2 yards a catch. This is Marty Booker Pro stats 56 catches - 13.6 a catch. Is Marty Booker a gamebreaker? But Ginn is when he didn't even have better production in college than Booker did as a pro? Major glue sniffing going around.

That's why no NFL team has called Kiper Jr or Mayock for any coaching or managerial positions...because they know that they are both jokes. :lol:

Oh really ? Then how come I heard a Houston representative on ESPN radio yesterday say they were targetting Ginn as he was #1 on their board.. He then said they tried to trade down after Miami selected Ginn but couldn't find someone to trade with..

not only are "we are lucky we got a WR with a serious foot injury." it only cost us the 9th overall pick.

You can make a thread about any statistic you want. But if it's a stat that is misleading due to the differential in sample size, then it behooves other people to point out the fallacy in the statistic that is being used..........................................What a totally ridiculous comparison.. Booker played in more games than Ginn.. Did you know they play alot less games in college ?? If you pro rate Ginn's catches to a 16 game NFL season he'd have 80+ catches .. And that's with Ginn getting double coverage and all the attention from defenses thrown at him in college .. Nobody double's Booker. Ginn opens up the offense for the rest of the offensive players because defense's are scared to death to give the quick score to Ginn ..
Santana Moss I think has done very well in the NFL.. Ginn had better stats than Moss in College.. Stats are one of the most misleading things people can bring up when comparing players..
