If Dennis Hickey was a better trader we could have had...

Man, all these adults worked up over woulda coulda shouldas. Drafts over. And like any other draft, won't know what we have for a few years. That's the only fact in this entire thread.

and had them both easily.

- Trade down from #19 and then take Ja'wuan James, take the extra third. That's Trai Turner right there.

- Stay put at #81 and take Billy Turner there, don't trade the 116th pick to move up to #67. Trai Turner is a very talented, very athletic pure OG who has plenty of experience at OG, would have loved to have him on board. Billy Turner? Good to have him aboard. Billy Turner and Trai Turner? Freaking awesome additions to a depleted OG unit. And between the two Turners I would have chosen Trai, if for no other reason that we already got our Guards in Albert and James, and while Billy Turner is projected to Guard, Trai Turner is a pure Guard, and a darned good one at that. Just an excellent prospect, one of my favorites of the draft.

- That #116 pick would have gotten us WR Martavis Bryant, a great talent and another deep threat for the WR unit. There at our traded #116 pick, gone by our #125 pick. Hickey, if you absolutely had to trade a 4th to secure Billy Turner, which I wouldn't have done in the first place, couldn't you have AT LEAST traded the #125 pick, not #116. Lousy trading.

For all the wheeling and dealing, down in the 2nd rd and trading up in the 3rd, we lost 9 crucial spots in the fourth round and gained a 5th rd pick. Yipee. At first glance I'm ok with this draft, nothing special but it looks to have filled needs, but in my opinion Hickey is not much of a wheeler and dealer or trader of picks. Poor showing in that regard, and that left me deflated. Trai Turner and Martavis Bryant are outstanding prospects that could have easily been Miami Dolphins if Hickey played his hand better, his trading skills didn't strike me as very special at all.

if you were a better poster, this wouldn't of never been posted.

Jesus man he grabbed our most glaring needs. I would take a MLB before i would take a RB. As far as needs Hickey did great.

And for the record I'm with you on the Trai Turner but its easy to make decisions after the fact.
 
This board needs to hold hands

That'll happen as soon as the Dolphins can right the ship that's been wandering aimlessly around the seas for the last decade and a half. LOL

Yes, this wouldn't of never been posted. Thank you for sharing, and take a look at post #89 on your way out.
 
JJ was our best overall drafter or very close and he was a master of trading down in the drafts. He would walk away with 13 draft picks and 7 to 8 players in every draft. Safety in numbers my friends there are NFL players in every round gotta have moxie to draft these guys and take the highest rated player over need to build a NFL caliber playoff team.

Personally, I think "systems" have gotten too cute. It's to the point where GM's are too focused on a specific type of player instead of being able to craft a team and have the coach mold it based on talents.

Notice when I have a disagreement with someone, it doesn't involve name-calling. It's called being civil. You should try it some time.

Oh now it's name calling, not arguing, make up your mind you big gentle argumentative teddy bear.

Dude, this is a freaking online football website. It is chock full of, by its very nature, opinions. Of course I have opinions of where players should be valued, because I've spent a lot of time researching them and (gasp) I'm on a football website discussing my subjective opinions of players and those of other posters as well. I have my guesses as to where players should be valued, but that's a far cry from me thinking that I know where they should be valued. That's just your ignorance shining through that leads you to believe that. For example I saw James Gayle as a likely 3rd rd pick, maybe a 2nd rd pick. And he was drafted... nowhere. So did I know or think that I knew where Gayle would be drafted? Of course not.

Some days more than others I'm struck by the absolute stupidity and ignorance to be found online. This is one of them, and your post should be earmarked as a template for it. I'm on a Dolphins website discussing the draft, I share my opinions and therefore I think that I "know where players should be valued". Gee, what a special post that takes you right to the land of the galactically stupid, thanks for sharing.

Discussing? You come across as another pompous 'draft expert' who criticizes the GM for not drafting who or how you would have! It's one thing to have a discussion...

That's a bunch of b.s. I offered my opinions on a FOOTBALL WEBSITE, and if you have a problem with that you're in the wrong place, pal.

Good choice of words, LOL, which also work well in response to the notion that you've contributed anything of significance to this site since I joined it in 2006. psfign- heavy on criticism, extremely light to nonexistent on substance. I don't recall ever since 2006 a post from you of any merit, whatsoever. So just do what you do best- b***, moan and criticize. Right up your alley.
