Does Poole, Hadnot, maybe pape, Pope, Bua in later rounds and the pick up of Welker, Y. Bell and roundtree tell you sometime about the man's ability to recognized talent...??? Saban lost a good eye that he could have used for later round draft picks, especially once Saban is removed from college in a couple of years and don't know all the players as well as he did his first draft.
Except that, being honest now, Yeremiah Bell is barely starter's quality if not less than starter's quality, Tony Bua is a special teams player only, Wes Welker is a gifted returner but just that a returner, Rex Hadnot showed promise as a starter but isn't even quite mediocre as a starter yet, Derrick Pope may have merely been taking advantage of Zach's position as the Rome Linebacker (all roads lead to Rome), and Tony Pape is an NFL Europe designee. And, a blind monkey could have seen the value in Will Poole in the 4th round when the guy had been predicted a first rounder right up until a few weeks before the draft.
Rick Spielman has stocked the cupboard with a bunch of depth players during his time in Miami. I think I read that not a single player he has drafted or helped to draft here has made the pro bowl. That is awful.
He's a grunt, an organizer. He can do work that you set him to do, he can take direction that you provide, but he did not belong as a decision maker, he did not belong as a director of player personnel.
No offense Kevin my man, but sometimes you remind me of Joe Theismann. You've really loved on some scrubalicious dolphins depth players in your time. I mean, hey, we're all guilty of it, we're homers, but still man gotta take a step back every now and then.
