He was still drafted this year. Thats likely why he winked when saying that.He wasn't part of the draft class! We traded with the Raidahs for him!

True. We basically traded Mcmillan for him in training camp. And now he's one of our rookies. He counts in my mind.He wasn't part of the draft class! We traded with the Raidahs for him!
igbo is a star in the making...wow... did I miss something- was he out yesterday and if so why?
and when you get a 4th that is playing like a 1st, that counts?
I like it!True. We basically traded Mcmillan for him in training camp. And now he's one of our rookies. He counts in my mind.
igbo has been a disaster. you didn't see him til late in the game yesterday because with jones back he got benched and they played needham inside. hardly a star in the making when your 1st round corner is sitting behind an udfa.
I’m not yet sold in Igbinoghene being a “star in the making.” Hopefully, but it‘s going to take some time to verify that.
We may also want to give some love to our coaching staff (HC Flo, OC Gailey and OL coach Marshall) for getting these rooks ready to shine this year under challenging conditions, to say the least. Clearly, these coaches want to win NOW.Tua is obviously a major key to the success of this draft. But revamping the offensive lineman with three very solid rookies(granted Jackson is out right now) is a major win. That frees up a major headache that has haunted this team for a decade+ and frees up all the ways they can go in next year's draft. We might finally have a franchise quarterback and a solid offensive line on the roster!
Iggy (20 tears old and clearly having no issues athletically) just needs time and experience. I think he's also getting some of the best DB coaching in the league right now. I must say, I like how Flo just threw him into the deep end, sink or swim, when Jones went down. Iggy will never forget that. Let's hope he can one day realize the value of it and thus, forgive it."Disaster" is too strong. Seems like frequent mental errors and biting on fakes. That can be coached out of him. Does that make him a "star?" Not even close. What too many don't seem to understand is a player who turns out to be 'average' is a good pick in the NFL. I think NI can get there.
i already have him as a bust. yeah its early oh well thats how i see it. hated the pick draft night and like it even less now. i don't like projects in the 1st rd."Disaster" is too strong.

I can't recall a time, recently anyway, where Miami improved a unit so dramatically in one offseason. The offensive line is night and day from last year when it, honestly, played like an expansion unit. I'm greedy, though. I want one more dominant player on the line, more protection for Tua, able to convert those short-yardage plays at a better than average NFL level.Tua is obviously a major key to the success of this draft.

Honestly, this could go down as Miami's best-ever draft. Too early, obviously to say for sure. But, I believe Tua will be the real deal and if that happens as expected, what draft can you compare it to? Maybe 1983 when the Dolphins took Marino, Charles, Clayton and Roby.Austin Jackson, Solomon Kindley and Robert Hunt look like this draft is a home run.
Tua on the bench is mind boggling.
Igbo, Jones, Raekwon, Strowbridge, Perry, all gravy, baby!
Can't wait for the treasures of 2021 to mix in!
