Hall Of Famer
Good news to hear that we got Wrigjht in the 5th, makes it all worthwhile that we didn't have to give up a first day pick. Good move, I like it.
Well now that you put it like that....maybe. I don't know much of Wirght to make any judgements on him which is why I never dissed him. A lazy player (based on reports)would be a project. Something that a cap era cannot afford but you guys had an extra 5th rd. pick to throw. We don't.tay0365 said:Yes, I agree that our need is more dire then yours, but your telling me that your team takes Wright in the 5th, and your are not happy? This guy like your QB has massive potential, and if he succeeds, you have yourself a star, if not, you lost a 5th round....not that big a deal. Even if Anderson ends up being a superstar, getting Wright would give you a very good backup. If you got this player, you would be ecstatic.
Maybe they really weren't interested and thought that some other team would pick him up for a higher draft pick. It wouldn't be surprising if your scouts said "we'll offer our other 5th pick and if not, who cares".miamirick said:I remember reading somewhere that the Fins reps that went to his workout left early and that it wasn't a ploy to make them seem uninterested....It was that they really weren't interested....Sneaky Saban does it again.

how do you know which pick is late, and which is earlier? I mean, the draft order hasn't been set yet.
We only had ONE fifth round pick. We were picking SECOND in the fith round, which created all the confusion when the story was initially released.
ckparrothead said:Thats an excellent question, I was wondering that myself. But, I think what it could mean is that Miami was the only team that bid on Wright in the 5th round. Unfortunately, that means Miami probably would have gotten Wright had they waited until the 6th round.

WHAT A STEAL!
