When were you this happy about a draft pick?

[allsilverdreams]

I have the Tua Fever.
I see a great player in the making.I jumped up and down when I heard his name called by us with the 5 th pick.
I can't remember who I was this happy about coming out of the draft.
Who was the last Dolphin draft pick you were this happy about?

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

I'd say since Dan Marino.

 

[TONYS]

I can’t think of one in recent memory. Probably my favorite as a fan thus far being born in 87.

 

[Duriel]

Jackie Shipp.

 

[Viggen]

Troy Vincent after Marino

 

[1Dolfan]

I was very happy we drafted Devante parker

 

[rickd13]

Never.

 

[Cheetah]

Been a fan since ‘71. Never, Marino was drafted but we had Woodley and we were good. Tua brings an aura of hope.

 

[superphin]

Probably Ryan Tannehill...not because of I thought highly of him as I do Tua but because we hadn't drafted a QB in the 1st round in my lifetime.

Troy Vincent after Marino

I remember being excited about Oliver when he was drafted as well. Wish JJ could have kept Vincent, but he did pretty well with Madison and Surtain.

 

[Dogbone34]

Marino...oh yeah and Steve Towle

 

[lbmclean_nocal]

Jake Long...

why draft a LT to protect nobody?

 

[NCFINFAN13]

Marino... Prior to that, it was A.J. Duhe

In the last 20 years, the 1st round picks I was most happy with at the time have been Fitzpatrick, Tunsil, Parker, Tannehill, Pouncey, and Vontae Davis.

But overall Tunsil was the player I was most happy with by far. A potential top 3 draft pick falls to us at 13 over a picture of him smoking weed? Couldn't believe GM's overreacted like that and we were smart enough not to.

Never was this happy about a pick let alone an entire draft. Very happy we took the chance on Tua.
