OK let me try to understand your position…You’re saying that Greer is an insolent organizational inbred that is starting to come through… But if he doesn’t do some thing to the old line we’re not gonna go far? I’m so confused.
True measurement of Chris Grier.

Agree that this is the most talented team we’ve had. It’s probably been more than 30 years since we’ve been loaded like this.
I remember Jackson being late 1st to 2nd (not to split hairs) but I also believe if you’re drafting a tackle you have to expect to reach a little bit because of the value put on the position. There wasn’t really a tackle I’d say we could have selected over him at that point and there was a good chance someone else reached on him before our next pick. I think you’ll see a lot of OT’s in this draft going higher than they should based on their profile because there’s just not that much good, affordable talent there right now.

My lord, if you all think Grier sucks, look at these misses
No sir. I just think it would be a fireable offense if CG doesn’t find a wY to acquire a more than just serviceable LG and RT. It’s been 2016 si ce the Dolphins drafted a dominant RB. And it was the 5th (?) round… yes, previously injured… a requirement. One glorious year of bully ball…OK let me try to understand your position…You’re saying that Greer is an insolent organizational inbred that is starting to come through… But if he doesn’t do some thing to the old line we’re not gonna go far?

People who complain about Grier's drafting or even call it "below average" are really out of touch with what average drafting is in the NFL.
THe pundits would tell you that he's supposed to know those are upcoming and avoid them. ROFL.
There are still some holdouts who fail to see what Grier hass accomplished here. When he finally got the reigns, this team was thought by the national pundits as being a probable winless team in 2019. We had X, Wilkins and Baker who were legit NFL players. ONLY. Grier has re-built this franchise at every position, period. We saw how competitive we were last year without our QB (and others) at Barfalo in the playoff game. Not every move has worked to this point but the OL has been addressed and has more talent than when he took over. Whiners gonna whine...
Hmmmm, I beg to differ Sofakingdrunk. I have a hunch that Stephen Ross (not Beal) has a rudimentary understanding of basic concepts of NFL Football. I would be willing to bet 50 (donation to the site) that Ross understands all the really basic stuff and that he also would be able to show basic understanding of the following terms:
1. Zone Running System - like McD stuff.
2. The O line and the 5 positions / D line and the 3-4 vs the 4 3
3. Wide Receivers and Running Backs / Linebackers and Safety's + CB's and their respective roles.
4. Special Teams - Punter, Kicker, Longsnapper and the basics of the players on special teams.
5. Many of the Rules - not the real complex ones, but the basics.
6. Salary Cap - again not to deep but for sure quite a bit.
7. Player trades and acquisitions - lots of knowledge here...probably a lot more than mosta us!
8. Marketing and other Front Office Related machinations - no brainer.
9. Cheerleaders - which are hot and which maybe not. Well, maybe? Bet he prefers blondes!
Of course, the kicker here is how we find out who wins the bet...how many agree with this and how many don't...and what is the enforcement method to make sure that the brave bettors who would put Finheaven finances 1st and join in the challenge - actually come through with the dough. By the way, this would be American dollars except for us Canadians...as it was a Canadian who formulated the challenge.
Perhaps we can "elect" or "nominate" a "representative" that will approach the Dolphins Front Office (I'm thinkin elites here like CMD, Henrik, CJ Parrot, Fishfan, Danny, Fin-Loco, Mach2 cough, haha, you know the "type" (apologies for those not mentioned as there are way too many) and 'pitch" the "Challenge" to Rossy Boy! Another thought is that I'll do it! - I'll finally get on that ****in plane tammarraw if I have to! No, just kiddin. haha

I'll take that as an automatic EXCELLENCE VOTE FOR GRIER IN ADVANCE if! In 3 years we still have a very competitive roster that is still a playoff contender. Bookmarked Chad. Thx!
3rd Chef in 6 years to boot!
****in A analogy there WildBillIV! question, is the IV an IV drip? and if so, whats a drippin in there?
haha
My entire argument was based on Ross and his cronies constantly doing something preposterous to put his players/coaches/GM/fans in an uncomfortable pickle. We're all intimately familiar with the laundry list of transgressions so I won't recite them here. To me (and maybe I should have qualified it better) that is the very nuts and bolts of the NFL business. Of course they have an understanding of the game, but their constant application of NY real estate tactics to owning an NFL team shows a fundamental flaw in strategy. It doesn't get any more "nuts and bolts" than that from an ownership standpoint. By the way, I saw the forecast for Edmonton, I bet you'd lay down a big ol' stack of loonies and toonies to get on a plane to SoFla my friend! I say go for it.

Do you have statistics that show Grier is any worse than other GMs at drafting? Or do you assume the Dolphins are the only team who's whiffed on draft picks?
