If you have a miss for Herbert and Taylor you should have one for drafting Harris over TJ
That’s for sure…I remember thinking we had to draft Watt at the time…that’s what makes it worse is when it’s obvious to even many in the fan base!

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'm glad Flo is gone. He had 3 seasons to get it right and failed. But, in 2021 I think the great picks were NOT made by Grier. We've seen his drafts and they are unexciting at best. I think Holland and Phillips were 100% Flores. I hope Grier can make great picks without Flo to point him in the right direction. At #22 when Najee Harris was still on the board we went defense and took Phillips. This was Flo fortifying his D all the way. At that moment the cup board was bare as far as offensive weapons. We had a chance to upgrade the run game dramatically but went defense with a stud pass rusher. That's Flo all the way imo. If Ross thinks Grier picked Holland and Phillips that would save Grier's job so I think that's what went down here. Grier is a real corporate survivor, anything to keep his job. I'd fire him right away. Guys like that sink an organization because it's all about keeping his job. This was Mike Tannenbaum's problem and now we see it again. A pattern of failure. 5 days after Grier became GM he hired Adam Gase. He was wrong on Gase, wrong on Iggy, wrong on Harris, wrong on Jackson and it's up for debate but most think he was wrong on Tua and should have taken Justin Herbert. Grier hired Flores who couldn't get us to the post season. When does he take responsibility for his crippling blunders?????? His only value is doing well on trades regarding draft choices but it doesn't play out very well because Grier simply whiffs on most of his draft picks. So we see Tunsil and Minkah walk out our door but LT is still a massive problem for Miami. Grier never replaced Tunsil and the oline never recovered and is still seeking a LT. All that idiot does is create problems that weaken the team. And our ultra idiot owner keeps this guy around in a position where he can constantly screw up. Why is Ross so comfortable with Grier?.....Baffling!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why can't he see that Grier is a huge part of the problem with this team going forward? Now he gets to hire another Coach?????? Lord help us!!!!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

I’d rather have the 10 or so picks… that’s just my take.It's funny, Tunsil and Fitzpatrick became pro bowlers immediately after leaving the Dolphins.
