You'd probably want to give Hickey at least a year before determining how good of a draft he had. Or do you want to fire him after one pick? That daft are ya?
So his own mock had him going to us but after we select him we then become losers.
Sounds as educated as the gm's I see on this forum.

Walter taking shots at the Fins? I'm shocked... SHOCKED I say.
Haha in all seriousness I love using his site, but living off of what he says about each pick is not the way to go. 2 years ago the Steelers drafted a NT from Washington and he called it a huge steal and that showed that they were the best ran franchise in the NFL. The kid, as a 3rd, was cut midway through his rookie season and stashed on the PS.
Drafting isn't an exact science. Sometimes surefire safe picks don't work out and sometimes huge reaches turn out being good picks.

Making ridiculous statements doesn't make you look smarter, it makes you look ridiculous.
NFL Network's Mike Mayock had JuWuan James rated as the 60th best player on his board.
ESPN's Todd McShay had JuWuan James rated as the 55th best player on his board.
Another ESPN list had JuWuan James rated as the 80th best player. (Not sure who's rankings it was -- it wasn't Kiper).
Apparently not enough. ....
If you read the details of the mock pick, Walter Football mocks JuWuan James to the Dolphins based on reports of the Dolphins grade of JuWuan James. The mock also states Miami's desperation. A little reading goes a long way.
If anything, this validates Walter Football as having some idea of what's going on.
Also, how the hell does Walter Football know what grade Miami had for JuWuan James before the draft??? That's not good either.
throw out some credible sources that have him in the top 32 players...
This is awesome.bahahahahahaha. I love the dolphins but we have some dumb fans. The tackle was the right pick regardless of what anyone thinks.
I bet you were saying the same things about Jason Allen, Pat White, and Eddie Moore. Yup, dumb fans defending dumb picks.
No one really knows where teams had guys rated. IF, and I admit its a legitimate IF.....James was Hickeys highest rated player on the board, then he made the right pick. The question is, does he develop into what Hickey thinks he is or not. That takes a couple years. I remember when NE(I live in Boston) picked some guard named Logan Mankins that most draftnicks had as a second or third round pick, and NE fans were wailing about the pick for weeks after the draft. Who takes a guard in the first round and not a tackle?
Point is, if James is a Pro Bowl right tackle in 3 years and Kouandijo's knee blows up.....will the naysayers remember this day?
It was a pick of need with a guy who is a legit talent coming out of college. If he turns into a solid RT this year, and if we draft a guard in the second or third round and our oline turns into a top-10 oline, and we can run the ball and Tanny isn't staring a facemask every other throw....we will ALL be happy.

Again. The site you put up in your original thread had James going to Miami at No.19. Kiper did too.

Desperation because Jeff Ireland was **** as GM here.
