Dol-Fan Dupree said:It has nothing to do with class. It has everything to do with love of the game. I think Jason has a lot of it and if he feels he can contribute as a situation pass rusher, I do not see him leaving.
Also with Zach it looks like he is going to be gone after this year unless he takes a big pay cut. He has said he thinks that there is a good chance he will not be a Dolphin next year due to his contract.
I do not see them as replacements. I saw them all as BAO or BPA who fits the Saban mentality and scheme. The Dolphins REALLY needed youth on defense.
I agree whole heartedly. Our D is aging fast. And probably got older with our signings. But, it ws his first draft, so I give him some slack, but just because some guy is ranked in the top 3 of ends, or top 5, or whatever non-sense, dont mean I have to like it.
I know I cant get most people to underatand were I am coming from, but we DID waste good picks on replacements. There will be good LB that can play inside/outside on 4-3/3-4 D's in the 06 draft. Just because some guy from Florida is on the team, whoopie. Your loyalties lie elsewhere, and not with the Phins.
Saban could of done a whole hell-o-lot more with his picks, and that is my point. You think because the guys he got are talented, which they are, makes it a good draft? That makes it a good talent draft, but not a good draft. A good draft with guys you pick in the first/second/third/ and sometimes the fourth round are immediate contributors. These guys are not immediate contributors, except for Ronnie. They are replacements and situational guys. That is not smart picking. That is want/need picking. That is how he blew the draft. There are good DE/LB/and position you can name in any draft. So, just because you like Channing/Matt/whoever, dont make it a grat draft. It makes it, "I like that guy from Florida, glad he is here" type of draft.
It didnt help the team, maybe in a timeframe of 1-3 years it does, but that is not true value for you pick. Dont matter how you want to slice it, it didnt help this team one bit this season. That is reality, so you climb down you rabbit hole, and let me know when they contribute for 40 plays a game this season.....
