I don't do mocks but I have some sort of wish lists, and
they got 3 of them Drake, Xaxiar and Duarte. Caroo was a New England wet dream so that was nice. Bill Belicheat loves RUTGERS PLAYERS. Also am in the North East a lot, there were hardly any mock without Caroo in it. I was so happy when we got him, it was like beating Belichik again.

I liked CJ procise over Drake.
 
Nobody. When it comes to the draft, I trust that the coaches have interviewed and worked out the players and have a better idea of who fits the schemes. Of course, lately that hasn't yielded great results. But whereas I frequently scratch my head over some of the players we choose, I don't tend to fall in love with any draftees.
 
Wanted us to keep our 4th and select Andrew Billings. He would have did the same thing to the defense that Tunsil should do to the offense.

This is my approach, as well. I ain't paid to do this, and had zero desire to study tape this year.
 
Nelson Spruce!

I know you have never heard of him........

WR for the CU Buffs.
Been a season ticket holder with my buds forever and have loved watching him play.
 
Spruce could turn into a role playing receiver. I think he's a first year practice squad player. I might have gone north of you and selected Risard Higgins from Colorado State first. I like the idea of Prosis and Billings as mentioned earlier, but my guilty pleasure would have been Conner Cook. I know most people don't care for him, but I think he's going to be fine and you don't get to many qb's that amount to much who were drafted after the 3rd round.

Since I don't watch college football, I can't name players. But, IMO they should have drafted/signed a few mean, nasty road graders for the o-line, a big, bruising RB, and some tackling machines at LB. This team had a half-decent running game (1st downs were automatic with Lousaka Polite) and were able to stop the run (Top 5 rushing defense) when Philbin took over, but he neutered the team and turned it into a bunch of non-running, non-blocking, non-tackling sissies. It seems to me that Gase's offensive philosophy will be similar to Philbin's: lots of passing with no ability/desire to sustain drives and kill the clock with a powerful running game.
 
I really wanted a pass rusher in the 2nd round and I thought we may have been trading up for Spence, one of my favorite players in this draft. I really wanted Noah Spence instead of Howard but Howard wasn't a bad pick. Hopefully Wake and Williams stay healthy cuz if not our pass rush will be pure garbage.
 
Preferred Alexander over Howard. I definitely preferred Miami didn't spend a 4th round pick to move up 4 spots (fools) or mortgage a 3rd and 4th next year plus a 6th for Carroo.

Thought Miami would have done well to draft Conner Cook or Dak Prescott and have a backup plan at QB.
 
Paul Perkins or Kenneth Dixon over Kenyan drake but I hope I'm wrong.
