I've not seen this posted but The Great North Darft Report has review the last draft.

This is what it says about Miami

Miami… The turnarounds engineered by teams like Chicago and Tampa Bay, each of which went from top 5 picks last April to this year's playoffs got more media attention, but Miami wrote a pretty nice comeback story of its own this fall improving from a measly two wins in 2004 to 9 this fall. And the Dolphins got plenty of help from their 2005 draft class in the process. RB Ronnie Brown, the second player picked this past April, had over 1,100 yards from scrimmage, despite having to split time with Ricky Williams. For the record, Brown ran for just over 900 yards and added another 232 on 32 receptions. The Dolphins also received solid contributions on the other side of the ball from LB Channing Crowder and CB Travis Daniels, their third and fourth round picks respectively, who started pretty much all season. Crowder, for example, quietly piled up 85 tackles, second high on the team behind Zach Thomas, while Daniels was something of a revelation as he posted 60 tackles, picked off one pass, and broke up 14 others. Meanwhile, 2nd-round DE Matt Roth struggled with injuries and ultimately played in only 8 games, but did have 20 tackles, including a sack when he was healthy... First-year grade: A-

It also gives their ton 10 offensive, defensive, undrafted rookies as well as their top ten picks per round.
 
The Dolphins had 4 wins last season.. not 2. :\
 
I know, still its interesting to see other peoples opinions.

How Channing Crowder didn't make their best pick of the 3rd round I'll never know. Or it that just me being a real homer?
 
I dont know how Foxworth played, but Channing definitely had a very good year.

Poorly researched write up. Roth never missed a game and the Phins had 4 wins not 2.

Agreed, But at least somone recognized that we had a good drat regardless of how horribly written the piece was. 2 more good drafts like this and we will have a solid team for years to come.
 
Poorly researched document for sure...2 wins last year (sic!). But, yes the Dolphins deserved credit for landing some good gems in the draft Crowder and Roth especially. I noticed a lot of effort out of Roth when he played. A nice young player for the future.
 
Should have said that manny Wright turned around the Buffalo game comeback by landing on one JP losermen on a sack and put a limp in him the rest of the day and started the comeback.

Awesome. Great first year for Saint Nick and Mueller.

Gives us promise for this upcoming draft!

I don't think Mueller had anything to do with the draft. He didn't come on board until after. In fact, if you want to give credit to the GM at the time, I think you have to thank Spielman!:sidelol:

Ummm Spielman wasn't bad at talent recognition, he was bad at evaluation.
