How the Dolphins went from the penthouse to the outhouse

[DolfanDaveInMI]

Championship teams are built through the draft. I went onto MiamiDolphins.com and looked at our all-time draft. Here's who we have left on our roster from the last several drafts:

1998 -- None. (Note: Patrick Surtain traded for Matt Roth pick.)

1999 -- None.

2000 -- None.

2001 -- Chris Chambers, Travis Minor. (NOTE: Matt Turk obtained using seventh-round pick.)

2002 -- Seth McKinney, Randy McMichael. (NOTE: Ricky Williams obtained in part using first-round pick.)

2003 -- Eddie Moore, Wade Smith, Taylor Whitley, Corey Jenkins, Yeremiah Bell. (NOTES: Ricky Williams obtained in part using first-round pick. Moore, Whitley, and Jenkins likely to be released this afternoon. Smith expected to go on injured reserve.)

So six years of recent drafts -- covering both the Jimmah and WannSpiel regimes -- have given us three offensive starters, one defensive starter, three backups and a punter. :eek:

Yes it's pretty bad but it's started to get better even in Wannstedt's last year.

I didn't know that Matt Roth was a 7 year rookie.

We haven't been in the Penthouse since the early 70's. Perhaps you should rename the thread from the "luxury suite to the outhouse".

Know what's truly sad?

Our overall FIRST round futility POST Marino. The memories of the Overstreet's, Bosa's, Kumerow's, Avery's, Green's, Milner's, etc. are still haunting me...

I thought Corey Jenkins was already released and Green Bay picked him up?
