One pick too late

Lamb fell and it would’ve been interesting to see if we would’ve taken him. Probably not but we should’ve since I think he’s gonna be a future all pro.

Dobbins I think will be a beast and I would’ve loved to see him paired with Tua.

Not a fan of the other two guys.
 
Fans beat themselves up over the untaken player.

We weren't looking at any of them. I know that's hard to fathom but it's true. This draft, after taking a QB, was meant to be a very un-sexy draft. All big uglies and not much else. You guys drooling over the CeeDee Lambs and JK Dobbins' were always going to be disappointed and now you've frustrated yourselves into thinking that we were just one pick shy of landing them all? Please! This draft was a meat and potatoes draft. Doesn't mean the one next year won't have more skill guys in it as it might. But after gutting the team roster a year ago, this is what a repair job largely looks like. Building from the football on out, adding your top QB and adding in the head coach's expertise in defensive backs to load up in that department as well.

Maybe we'll get the runners and receivers next year. This year was never about them.
 
In one of the threads last night, I suggested that the 'Phins might well pass on the RB run and go with one of the committee backs who will be there on day 3.

While I didn't predict it, I did say that I would not be surprised. I have long felt that this was NOT going to be a 'skills-player' draft for us. I openly pleaded with the team to ignore the WRs and was not overly high on any of the RBs...

This is a very workmanlike draft. Flores wants to toughen up this roster... and he is doing it 300 lbs at a time.

I'm delighted.
 
It's hard to see the skill position players go by, but I'm more tired of getting dominated on the lines...

With the Dolphins' luck, Love will become a great QB, and we're going to look mighty foolish trading back for an extra low 4th.
 
Again why is everyone so enamored with Lamb, he faced 2 yes only 2 NFL level CBs this year and was totally shut down both times or made to be completely ineffective. Doesnt strike me as a day one super star. he was in a wide open system and ran out of the slot, when it gets tough and messy he isnt as good.

There are other RBs to be had. The HC of this team grew up as a coach in a system who didnt have highlight RBs it was a system of 2 or 3 guys each providing something different but all who could pass block. So consider that!

Matos is low character I am sure after the hazing thing he was taken off the board, he doesnt strike me as a player who fits in Miami.

Wilson is good but we got a more athletic pure LT in Jackson. Sooooo IMO push at worst.

We weren't drafting Love, trade or no trade, so we would have passed on him and he would have gone later than #26 to someone else.

If that is going to look foolish years from now, *shrug*

Newsflash: our running backs weren't the problem last season....Saquon Barkley wouldn't be able to get a 100 yr game behind our sorry excuse of a OL. It still needs work, but it is heading in the right direction for sure.

Think about all the RBs that have been in our system then succeeded when they left Miami (Damien Williams, Lamar Miller, Kenyan Drake, Raheem Mostart (it is a stretch but he was a practice squad guy)).

Watch next season, our RBs will magically look way better just due to better blocking.

Ballage sucks, what good is good blocking if your backs are too slow to hit the gap or just plain doesn’t see the hole ala Ballage?
