• With the Dolphins picking 22nd in the April 28 NFL Draft, keep in mind that about half the 17 players selected in that slot in this century have been disappointments (Johnny Manziel, Braden Weeden, Brady Quinn, among others) and only three made Pro Bowls: Desmond Trufant and Percy Harvin once and Demaryius Thomas (four times).

The past five picks at No. 22: Weeden, Trufant, Manziel, Bud Dupree (8.5 sacks for Pittsburgh in two years) and Josh Doctson (the Redskins receiver whose rookie year was mostly foiled by injury).

• Even though he received only 19 snaps on offense, no non-quarterback in the NFL had more fumbles than Jakeem Grant, whose five fumbles (all on returns) were tied with 16 other players.

Ryan Tannehill had the NFL’s fifth-most fumbles (nine), five behind Arizona’s league-leading Carson Palmer (14).

• Final passer ratings in the coverage area of Dolphins’ cornerbacks, thanks to our friends at PFF: Byron Maxwell (71.6), Tony Lippett (87.6), Xavien Howard (104.6) and Bobby McCain (112.7).

We should be able to get an immediate contributor at 22. No excuses.

The history of that pick has not been good. I think the last good pick at #22 was Demaryious Thomas in 2010. I do think this draft is pretty deep though.
 
i could not care less about the history of that specific pick number. In fact, that's one of the weakest openings I've ever seen from Barry Jackson. He normally has a sense of relevance.
 
Full disclosure

I have a bunch of tvs that might be pushing the richmond rating #

I was thinking the same thing. Is the problem the draft spot or the fact that terrible drafting teams have happened to draft there? Unless you believe in magic, curses, etc., it's obviously the latter. The Browns, Colts, 49ers, and Bills skew those numbers, as does the fact that it happens to be the spot several of those turds drafted QBs that couldn't cut it to be drafted earlier. Weeden, Quinn, Manziel (dear god, Cleveland...:lol: ), Grossman, Losman? Skews those numbers a bit. Then you go and look at the players drafted after a lot of them and you see that the problem isn't what's available at 22, it's merely who is drafting.
 
Oh no. Hopefully whoever has pick 199 will take pick 22 off our hands straight up. I mean Brady was taken there after all.
 
some of these gm in nfl are overrated. the coach and gm must be on same page. 1st and 2nd rd pick should be starting or getting a lot playing time when drafted. these guy are here to fill hole on teams. the bottom line you need 3 to 4 players every draft to make impact.
 
Manziel, Weeden, and Quinn...so really as long as we are not the browns we should be ok.

That's because the Browns have picked multiple times at 22
 
The good news is that half of the time the pick actually does work out.

Also, since we arent drafting a QB, you should figure out the percentage that doesnt include a QB bust like Weeden and Manziel.

That said, I think we are moving out of that spot. Tannenbaum likes to do his maneuvering (for better or worse), and we could use more picks.
