The biggest problem? We passed up on two WR's that quite possibly could have started this year, and who had fallen WAY below where they were expected to be picked(anyone remember the LAST reciever we picked that fit that bill? Mr Chambers anyone?), so we could pick a player who will play Special teams at best, and probably won't even be able to provide decent back-up this year at LB. That's what's wrong with this draft.
That's right, we sure do screw up sometimes. I don't know what those people in the FO think about. After all, according to SI last year, Seth McKinney was a sixth round pick and McMichael was a seventh round pick. Why in the world did those idiots in the front office pick them so early?
Seth McKinney | C | Texas A&M | Big Twelve Conference
Selected by Miami Dolphins in round 3, pick 25 (90 overall)
Height Weight 40 Grade
6'3½ 300 4.99 3.52
Younger brother of former A&M guard Steve McKinney, now with the Indianapolis Colts. Four-year starter that was an All-Conference selection as a senior. Played in every game he's dressed for at A&M.
Tough, heady lineman with a great feel for the position. Quick off the snap, gets his hands into opponents and plays with forward lean. Stays square, keeps his feet moving in pass protection and works hard. Good intelligence, wherewithal on the field and looks for someone to hit or helps out line-mates. Effectively uses his blocking angles, body positioning and displays the ability to block down on opponents. Not big or dominant in the middle, lacks the strong base and gets pushed back into the pocket. Not light on his feet, plays back on his heels and though and rarely finishes his blocks. Like his older brother undersized but does not show the ability to block on the move or play in space which will severely downgrade him. Late Sixth Round.
Randy McMichael | TE | Georgia | Southeastern Conference
Selected by Miami Dolphins in round 4, pick 16 (114 overall)
Height Weight 40 Grade
6'3 247 4.86 3.53
Fifth-year collegian that decided not to take advantage of an additional year of eligibility already awarded to him by the NCAA. First team All-Conference selection last year when he caught 24/281/11.7/1. Totals the preceding two-years were 32/475/14.8/1 and 34/457/13.4/3 as a red- shirt junior and sophomore, respectively. Played with the starting lineup the past three seasons after a thumb and knee injury forced him onto the sidelines his initial two-years in the program.
Athletic, pass-catching tight end effective when focused on the field. Fluid, adjusts to the errant throw and extends, displaying the ability to pull the pass out of the air. Plays faster than his 40 time, gets into the defensive secondary and makes the long reception. Moves well laterally, catches the pass in stride and also has the ability to make the difficult reception. Blocks with forward lean, displays adequate footwork in pass protection and effectively uses his hands. Solid blocker when he applies himself. Gets lazy with his fundamentals, lets the ball get inside his body and too often clutches the pass against his frame instead of snaring it out of the air with his hands. Misses blocking assignments, not always cognizant of where he is on the field and must use the sidelines better. Seemingly gives half-hearted efforts as a blocker and does not play with a sense of urgency. Worked out poorly at the combine. Flashed ability throughout college but never took his game to the next level. Must dedicate himself at the next level or will bounce around and eventually be looking for a new line of work. Early Seventh Round.
