According to ESPN Scouts Inc. the Dolphins TE's rank 29th in the league.

29. Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins lost McMichael in the offseason and picked up veteran David Martin as their starter. A converted wide receiver, Martin has solid hands and is an effective route runner, but surprisingly doesn't have much run-after-catch ability. He may have a better chance to shine in the new offense that Cam Cameron brings from San Diego. Backups Justin Peelle and Tim Massaquoi are limited athletes and don't pressure a defense as route runners. Peelle has reliable hands but shows little after the catch, and Massaquoi is strictly a blocker.



Hard to argue with their assessment. Martin really hasn't proven anything yet in the NFL, but if he can stay healthy I think he should have the best season of his career. Peele is a decent backup TE and a good blocker, Massaquoi will likely have to fight for a roster spot.

David Martin was a poor signing.

Little should be expected from him. Then you will not be disappointed.
 
He has to get out of the trainer's room and on to the field before he can attempt to perform.

Thats harsh, mcmichael played pretty well for us for his time here. I think people in the NFL think much higher of mcmchael than us fans because Linhan did not hesitate to sign mcmichael when he was cut he gave him a pretty damn good contract like 3 mill a year.

15. St. Louis Rams
Randy McMichael was an excellent offseason acquisition for the Rams. McMichael has been a very durable and productive tight end during his five seasons in the league. He has average size with very good athleticism. He has good speed to stretch deep zones and is a tough matchup for linebackers and safeties. McMichael has great hands and shows power and agility to move the chains after the catch. He is not a physical blocker, but is effective and stays connected when setting the edge.

Which is nothing for a "supposed" Top 10 TE in the NFL.

We're better off without him IMO.

Not only does he have mediocre hands, at best, he's just an atrocious blocker who has far too many mental lapses for my taste.

He seals the edge effectively? Do these columnists even watch the games..
