McDaniel & Grier: Post Draft Thoughts--They wanted an RB

[Hoot]

These two are fun together. Grier is the most relaxed I have ever seen him. They are more open and candid too.

There was (1) RB they really wanted in that 3rd or 4th round range. They did not say who, but when he was drafted ahead of them, Grier joked that McDaniel fell out of his chair in disappointment. Isaiah Spiller went 2 picks before us in the 4th. Zamir White went 3 picks before us.

I am assuming the RB was Spiller he was picked two ahead of Miami’s pick.

For the 458th year in a row, our RB got picked a few picks before us. WTF

Can we actually just draft a RB in the first few rounds for once and quit this never ending merry-go-round of Myles Gaskin and the free agent flavor of the month stuff. Same excuse every year and same result.

RB’s do not matter. It would be foolish for Miami to spend high draft capital on one unless they believe the player is truly special.

The difference in EPA/Play from any RB to another is miniscule. Just find guys in the middle rounds who fit your offense.

I'd rather have the big WR.

my bet is definitely White as the missed pick.

Watching their press conference, you have to think that either Zamir White or Isaiah Spiller was going to be the pick based on how Grier says McDaniel fell out of his chair when either of the running backs were picked before their selection came up. Hopefully this kid has a nice career with us.

We'll have the ammo next year if our current crop do not work out well.

5 Premium picks... all hail Tua.

I think it was Zamir White as well.... I also think that's why they picked up Zaquandre White as a UDFA because they have very similar styles.

And the same initials.

I enjoyed watching that. It is refreshing to see the laughter and how well they are getting along.

I totally agree, but we haven't drafted guys in the middle rounds in years. I think Kenyan Drake was the last one in 2016 and our running game has been non-existent since.

after the last two HC's we had it is so awesome to listen to McDaniel talk.

You have to love McDaniel. He cracks me up and I think he really gets it.
