2020 draft first three picks compared to 2021 draft first three picks. Wow! What a difference. What happened there. It's almost like two different people
 
If you look through our history, Chris Grier has actually had a stretch of drafts better than many other stretches. There was a ten year run in Marino's prime where we drafted a handful of good players but severely underachieved in the draft. That, more than anything, cost Danny his ring(s). And there was not a real free agency to help you fix anything. Danny would take 4 win rosters and win 8-10 games.

We had good stretches in the 1970's to early 80's and then Jimmy's brief run. Hopefully Grier has learned from the mistakes and is ready to draft much more consistently. Don't draft for the short run. If you think Charles Harris is a better fit for your scheme than TJ Watt, that is too narrow a view. Draft the guy who will be the better player.

Is it still a miss if its a flyer signing?
I'd replace that with getting rid of Robert Quinn.

This is how bad Grier is….# 2 and #3 and #7 don’t even play for us. That’s 30% of your top 10 hits. Pathetic. I seriously can’t believe Grier has defenders on this site.

I seriously can't believe he gets no credit for the recent draft, setting the team up cap wise to be huge players and getting free agents that contributed whether or not the coach decided they didn't fit after one year. It didn't absolve him of his failures, but compare him to a lot of GM 's over three years...he's average or better. Not what the agendas portray but it's true....
 
Whoever was in charge of the 2013 draft for the Dolphins will eternally make the decision maker for every draft since look somewhat better...
