History of 5th overall NFL Draft picks is good for Miami Dolphins — FanSided

As the Dolphins begin their draft prep for the 5th overall selection in the NFL draft what kind of value will they find and will they get a solid return? T...

In 2014, the fifth overall selection was made by the Oakland Raiders. With the pick, they chose a linebacker from Buffalo named Kahlil Mack. That pick was pretty darn good. In addition to being named defensive player of the year in 2016, he has also accounted for 61.5 sacks in his career as well as 397 total tackles (86 for loss). He has also been named to the all-pro team at multiple positions in the same season, a first in the league. Mack has shown himself to be an all-world player and a home run pick for his tenure in Oakland as well as his stint to this point with the Bears.

Just thought this was interesting with Reggie in the front office.
 
Actually there is no history of a 5th pick for Miami. We have never drafted 5th overall in the draft. This will only be the 7th time we have picked in the top 5. We picked Bob Griese at 4th and Larry Csonka at 8th. 2020 will be the first time we select there if we don't trade the pick. Some pretty good players taken at that spot over the last decade including the Mack mentioned by OP. Also some busts like Blackmon.

that list doesn't look so bad at all.

i guess you could make a case that every year, players, especially QB's, get overdrafted which flushes some serious talent down the draft board. at #5 you have a fairly early shot at those guys
 
The NFL is a QB driven league. Each year 1-2 QBs are “over drafted” in the first few picks by teams trying to land a franchise leader. That leaves at least one of the best OL, DE, OLB, CB, WR, etc. to fall to the 5th pick. If Miami opts to not take Tua at 5, there will definitely be a pro bowl caliber player available to draft.
 
That Corey Davis pick never made sense, even at the time, and if you look at how many blue chip players went after him, it’s just horrendous.

Brother neither the article or I said Miami had a history at the fifth pick, but some of the talent that was drafted at the pick in the past by NFL teams.

NE has won the AFC-E almost every year in the last 10 years, but I wouldn't extrapolate that. It's not the 5th that counts, but those doing the picking. I know all that is obvious, and it does give hope, but if Tbaum and staff were picking 5th, I wouldn't have much faith
