I feel so much better about any draft we've had after watching this!

and here wo go again, this is at least the 10th time this has been posted. i hope it makes you feel better to see draft blunders from 15-25 years+ years ago but if you put together a reel from the past decade you'd get alot more comedy from the dolphins. The article below is more current:

That is nice, I'll make myself feel better w/ the dolphins draft blunders of the past decade and w/ Bill Parcells poor track record as a GM.
I agree that this is old news, but did you see the smirk on Rozelle's face as he was announcing the Roger Vick pick? Jesus, I thought he was going to bust up laughing. Also, this was a montage created by ESPN just a few years ago. They felt it deserved a special place during a recent draft coverage.
BTW, if it makes you feel any better, the Fins drafted John Bosa :boohoo: in the same year that the Jets drafted Vick.

Ted Ginn Jr.
Jason Allen
Vernon Carey
Jamar Fletcher
John Avery
Yatil Green
Daryl Gardener
Billy Milner
Tim Bowens
O.J. McDuffie
Those are some stellar 1st round picks in the last 15 years
What the heck is wrong with McDuffie, Bowens, and Carey? The jury is still out in Jason Allen. Gardener was a beast until he got hurt. Yatil Green blew out both knees. Milner, Avery, and Fletcher were busts.
Jets fans have no right to talk. They will forever be the only team in the NFL to have passed on Dan Marino, Emmitt Smith, and Jerry Rice and to have taken a different player at the same position in each of those years.
How much different would the Jets have been with Marino, Smith, and Rice instead of O'Brien, Thomas, and Toon? Too funny.
How about Kyle Brady, Johnny Mitchell, and Pennington? Even when the Jets get lucky enough to draft a decent player, they can't keep them on their team (Hugh Douglas, John Abraham, Vilma, Keyshawn, Farrior, Moss, Robertson).
The Jets have drafted a TE in the first round 4 times since 1992. WTF.

What about D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Nick Mangold, Darrelle Revis?? 2 of them look like future pro bowlers and all pro, and 1 the jury is still out, but shown signs of dominance at times.What the heck is wrong with McDuffie, Bowens, and Carey? The jury is still out in Jason Allen. Gardener was a beast until he got hurt. Yatil Green blew out both knees. Milner, Avery, and Fletcher were busts.

Both teams have done better recently. Ronnie Brown was leading the league in rushing last year. Vernon Carey is potential probowl RT. Satele looked real good for a rookie center. Ted Ginn showed signs of being a very dangerous player. Too early to tell about Beck.
It's no secret that the Jets and the Fins are have retooled big time over the last two off seasons. That was necessary, in part, due to poor drafting by both teams.
They Jets have drafted well all decade, it's not a new thing. Those awful Jet drafts of the past are from 15-25 years ago.
It doesn't do them much good when they can't keep the players on their roster. Robertson, Vilma, Abraham, Moss, Hobson, etc, etc. all gone. From the 2003, and 2004 drafts (the players that should be the heart of your roster), one player remains. They have had a ton of first round picks this decade (13!). I'm not so sure that they have made the most of them.

They are gone because they were drafted to play in a 4-3 system and we switched to a 3-4 system when Mangini came aboard.They are all good players,they just don't fit the 3-4 system that has been installed.We CHOSE not to keep them.It wasn't that we lost them because of some ineptitude on the part of our front office.
We also have not had a "ton" of first round picks this decade.Many teams have had much,much more than the Jets.Our roster has been completely overhauled in the last three years and is now filled with players who fit the system that Mangini prefers.It's going to be a fun year this season.:)
They CAN they have just decided not to. In Vilma and Robertson's cases it was all about scheme. W/ Moss and John Abraham they got fed up w/ them always being hurt. We have retained enopugh to be tied for 3rd in AFC playoff appearances this decade.
I am annoyed we had to get rid of guys like Vilma and Robertson b/c we never should have switched schemes, we had excellent 4-3 players and were a year removed from being a top 5 D. They wasted 2 years in the transition BUT it certainly appears that we have the pieces now for a pretty good D again.
Always have an answer for everything that comes your way dontcha?
The Jets have retained enough to be under .500 for the decade.
Look for the bright spots all you want, but the reality is that neither team has accomplished anything in quite a long time. Records this decade:
Jets - 62-66
Fins - 61-67
Bills - 53-75
Here's the painful part:
Pats - 91-37
