With The 7th Pick Left What Do You Say From 1 To 10 On How We Did This Year Drafting
 
I don't like it.

I think we had oppertunities to pick MUCH BETTER players in those positions just picked, but they choose less talented players!
 
I think this was a very good draft so far. The trenches is where football teams need to be built from and 5 of the 8 picks were in the trenches. There are some that disagree with me, but I think one of the best picks made was Chad Henne at the end of the 2nd round. I am very excited to have two young talented QBs competing for the starting job.

We addressed a lot of needs and continued building a long-term foundation for this team. There are likely some doubters(which I have seen already), but a few years down the road, they will realize that Parcells and Ireland know what they are doing and will praise this draft.
 
I'll give it a 6.

Love the Jake Long pick.

Merling has good potential but after only one good year in college it is still up in the air how he will produce in the NFL.

Chad Henne was an okay pick. I would have rather taken Brohm but I like the fact that we brought someone in to challenge Beck.

The rest I'm in a meh/wait and see mode.
 
Yesterday was good value all the way around. Today I really felt we could have moved down on few of the picks and still gotten them later. The RB's were pretty much 7 rounder or FA we just picked, the OL guards were good to OK probably the 2nd one we picked from the Conn was our best value pick all day and our 3rd round pick was about where he was projected to go. Really looking for and hoping for more value on day 2 but Ireland did say they picked more for needs on day 2 and less for talent like in day 1 and so far it appears he is sticked to what he said so it was not a smoke screen at all.
Day 1 A, Day 2 C plus. Really will not know until 2 or more years from now providing this same staff is still in place.
7.8
 
I'd give it an 8.5.

Like Nublar, I really liked what we did with this draft as far as building a foundation and think Henne will start for us at some point in the future. I think we could have done a little better on the 2nd day (possibly with getting a WR or CB), but the first day was incredible. Very good draft for Parcells and company.
 
Really like our first 4 picks. Give us a 9 there.
But after that like a 7.5.
Don't get the 2 RBs and taking no corner or WR.

SOOOOO glad we got Jake though.
 
So far I'd give it a C+ or a B-. My major comment coming into this year was that I wanted us to be better along the o-line and I wanted our defense to be better on third down. I think that we're definitely building that o-line, but I get the sneaking suspicion that our secondary isn't going to be good enough to stop anyone on 3rd again this year.

That being said, we were 1-15 last year, so it's not like we're going to go undefeated this year. I think the picks we got are enough that we should be able to be somewhere in the middle of the pack this coming year.

Well I wont wait until 2011. I see most of these picks as step in the right direction of rebuilding. I feel we got atleast 3 starters from this draft and thats no bad draft at all.

One pick obviously I feel is a future probowler (Jake Long).

Exactly, Dolphins could traded down and still end up on these same players!
