21. Dolphins: Lamar Miller, Jay Ajayi, Damien Williams, LaMichael James, Mike Gillislee

» "I think Jay Ajayi is a much better player than where he was picked solely off the knee and the concerns about longevity," Jeremiah said of the Dolphins rookie. "If they get the player that played at Boise State last year, with that ability, then he's going to make a great impact."

I think the team will be better than the ranking but I understand that Jay hasn't played a down in the NFL yet.

21st? Hell no....I would say between 10-15.

What a joke

Meh. I can see how some of these rankings look good on paper but I'm not so sure it actually works out that way. I hadn't really realized how many RBs changed teams this offseason...different systems, different blocking schemes...some O-lines have changed. Just a lot of variables but it's the off season and these guys need something to get hits on their websites.

I think this is one of the more inconsequential lists to be top dog on. Doesn't seem to have much correlation with winning teams. I don't think we're that far down, personally. But I can sure see why we would be ranked there.

San Diego and Carolina being where they are has me baffled.

No way they are 21st. That's a joke we have good depth i feel like. And Miller is top 15 among starters

Post media ranking of somebody or unit on Dolphins:
Sit back and watch everyone get all pissy how high "we should be" (remind them we were 8-8)
Wait until someone posts "media hates us"-
Politely remind them, that the media gives credit to the teams that win consistently. Mention, the Fins haven't won a playoff game since the Lamar Smith game...
Hope someone doesn't criticize our QB or FH melts down.

We have no proven depth. A couple of fringe roster guys and a 5th round pick. Lamichael James and Damien Williams have barely played.

Last year we finished #12 in rushing and added Ajayi so we should at least be as good and probably better.

San Diego is getting up because of Melvin and Jay is not getting enough credit as he was a fifth round pick. We will see when the season starts. I think Jay will kick ass for us this year.

If I am Coach Nixon and Coach Benton I post this article for the the running backs, and offensive line to see this and draw motivation from it!:up:

Damien proved pretty dang good for a receiving back i think

I actually stopped when I saw KC at 8th lol. You tell me there aren't 20+ teams out there that Davis would start for oh and he's only their 2nd back lol.

Some people think very highly of Davis but that's a stretch no doubt. Maybe 10 teams maybe
