Well, we essentially got Samson Satele and Andrew Gardner for Wes Welker - not exactly fair compensation.

hindsights 20/20... the compensation was fair at the time.

what was randy moss traded for... a 4th rounder?

"beaten em twice a year" lol. When was the last time we were swept by the Patriots besides 2007?

Would that now just be Grove...or wasn't Satele really a trade for Grove, even though it felt like it...

Still not exactly fair...but you must remember how overrated Welker is (at least according to some...)

Considering we could have gotten absolutely nothing...I wish people would get the **** over it. They also need to get their facts straight. It's not like we pulled a Bambino trade. Welker was gone regardless.

Of course, that's been said a million times, yet there's still idiots that think we "let him go."

When the dust settled I think Welker turned into Andrew Gardener. Traded Welker for 2nd/Satele drafted with 2nd/Satele traded for 6th/Gardener drafted with 6th.

Hmm, maybe he'll turn into a pro bowler. :crazy:

We traded Satele for a 6th and switched spots with the Raiders in the 4th.

So Welker turned into Gardner and Hartline.

I can't believe how so many people forget that we also switched fourths so we can draft at the top of the 4th instead of the bottom of the 4th.

It's as if most dolphin fans don't follow our moves.... Because it's not the first time so many people have forgotten about it, and it's not the first time so many people had Miami's factual moves go way over their heads.

ESPN should make those mistakes, not die hard Dolphins fans.

Come on, get with the program.

Well, I don't think it really would have made a difference. Hartline would still have been there if we didn't swap 4ths. Which is why I didn't acknowledge it.

We also got a 7th for Welker, which turned into Abraham Wright? What a gem he was, I should probably should be scolded for also not bringing it to attention.

In our defense, Rod fell from being a potential first rounder to a 7th, I think possibly because of some kind of injury. It's a shame he didn't work out for us.

Edit - Oops, after I posted I realized you said Abraham Wright. I shouldn't post when I've been out all night.

We really had no chance to retain Welker, I was pissed to see him go, but I would have been more pissed to see the team do what it would have taken to keep him. In my book, Bess is every bit as good as Welker, and he will show it this season.

The two aren't related though. I don't know if I can say I would have been mad at all if we had retained him- Welker had been a bright spot on some young teams, literally doing everything for this team including kicking at one point. He was still young and was an incredibly steady producer.

Welker was one of our few legitimately talented players, and letting players like him go while wasting numerous draft picks in trades for crappy QB's, and those were one of the real reasons why it all come to head in one epicly bad 1-15 season.

Bess and Camarillo both epitomize the can-do attitude of this resurgent team, but Welker could do everything that these two could except he could do it a lot better.

It's nice to see some Dolphins o-linemen on that list. The big guys usually don't get much love.

Exactly. It's irritating how all of these analysts completely ignore the fact that New England signed Welker to a poison pill offer sheet that Miami would have been killed for matching. At that point in his career, there was no reason to tender him at a 1st and 3rd.

 

[NyPhan23]

wow... anyone on this board who wouldnt have taken a 2nd for welker at that time is off their rocker (not to mention it was nothing more than icing on the cake for when we were gonna lose him). yea... maybe past regimes blew the pick, whatever... it was still a fair trade (again, hindsights 20/20). Welker would never be in miami what he was in new england with randy moss/donte stallworth on the field and brady slinging him the ball. get with it folks. how many possession recievers do we have on this team now? theyre a dime a dozen... stick em in that system and any one of em is gonna be more successful than they are here with no true number one threat and a legitimate quarterback, which is not a knock on pennington, hes just not much of a threat to stretch the field to open the middle up for guys like welker.
