Rex Hadnot breakout year?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk down to you. You never know the depth of anyone's knowledge on this thing. Especially you newbs..:)

I think in this age of free agency, you've got to get the most playing time you can get out of your draft picks because you don't have the time to develop them like you used to. A mid to late round player is more than likely going to take at least two, usually three, years before they become effective starters, at which time you lose them to free agency or are forced to get into a bidding war with other teams who have been scouting your player every since he got into the NFL and have also noticed his progress. I think you need guys that are going to make a quick transition and be effective starters from their first season, and definately no later than their second season, in order to get the most "value" on the dollar.

Of course, you know where those players can be found in the draft.

I didn't think you were talking "down". I read your post and thought you made clear points why you didn't agree with my post. It's cool. I actually agree with you in today’s market it's harder to hold later picks. If they would succeed, you are correct, the bidding war going into free agency more than likely means you aren't going to be able to hold on to the players. It is just an interesting or maybe different way to look at drafts. Maybe that's what drove Jimmy out of Miami; he wasn't having the same luck in his drafts. Of course while he was at Dallas he did get a LOT of extra day one picks from the Minnesota trade for Hershel Walker so he could gamble a lot more with his later picks.
BTW if you were talking down to me it doesn't matter... I don't let stuff like that bother me ...LOL...

Looks like Rex Hadnot may end up being our best Olineman. They have him listed as one of the breakout type guys this year, for rookies and young players.

He may end up being the best, I like our line this year way better than last. With a new coach and scheme and a year under their belt, I think our line this year will be several steps up. Mcintosh, James, Mckinney, Hadnot, McDougle looks like the guys, but I won't mind seeing Carey in there and I am not sure about Mckinney, if Hadnot could do Center, It would be nice to have him there and Carey and G, but we will see, anything will be better than last year!

Good. :)

You're right, Jimmy got a boat load of picks when he was in Dallas, That's the key to making it work.If you don't have all those extra picks the problem is that it's not a perfect world. You don't find that one player every fourth time you pick like clockwork. You get lucky and get two or three in one draft and then you could turn around and not hit on another one for two years and that hurts but, jimmy's problems were in the top of the draft not the middle and bottom. The ones you CAN'T miss on. Which he missed on. That's why he could never get over the hump.
 
our right side is huge with hadnot at 340 and mcdougle at 340 as well, talkin about 680 pounds of beef running at you, i love it

cool, thxs dd. he looks like a mauler

to actually think we might have a good line w/ houck and good news about carey and hadnot is starting to make me giddy. now hopefully wade smith or someone can become a great center.

That's a good point. Kind of forgot all his first round busts!!! he did do well in some of the later rounds here.
 
No offense, but is it possible for an o-lineman to have a breakout year? I'd be just fine with making sure A.J. can walk all year.

This is a perfect example of why people on this board don't know a G-D thing when it comes to evaluating players. Myself included.

There might have been one or two people who said, "watch this guy he's going to be a good one" but they, no doubt, were fans of Hadnot's college team. A few others saw his stats and said this guy is interesting...162 pancake blocks in one season will impress even the diehards but, even so, there was no Rex Hadnot bandwagon....and if there was, I'm sure it was a little red one, that you can buy at Wal-Mart.

Even last year there was no one overly excited about him and up until recently most mock line-ups didn't even have him listed as a starter but, now we'll hear the I-knew-it-all-alongs acting like Rex was just this hidden gem that no one wanted to talk about lest they jinx his development.

These are the things I think about when I want to say a player will or won't be any good, because this knd of stuff happens all the time. Players come from obscurity to prominence just like the train goes the other way with almost as much regularity.

Just some food for thought.

  • "I'd just as soon not talk about last year," Houck said. "That's somebody else. I really don't know what they were doing."
  • To me that sums up not only last season but many before it as well, it's time for many fans to move on.
  • System, scheme and coaching mean more to the offensive line position and unit than just about any other unit on the field.
  • Lets give the players the opportunity to perform under the new system and coaching.
  • Assess the development in 4 game segments and then make evaluations and revisions if required.
  • The o-line unit maybe more than any other unit will define the 2005 Dolphins.
  • Let's show some patience and let the men do their jobs.

That post just got be really excited to see how our new offense does. If we can give AJ some time and our Rbs some holes then it should be really interesting how our record turns out.
