Cecil Collins?...He was a 5th round roll of dice I had no problem with taking that chance...guy was a stud and we nearly found Marino the running back he never had.

I remember reading about Zach Thomas in Dolphins Digest draft issue and thinking hmmm, this might be a good player.
I sort of remember listening to Mad Dog in the time leading up to the 07 draft. A caller suggested Ted Ginn and MD said something not that high with the 9th pick.
I guess the best is Marino, the worst has too many to list. Allen comes to mind even though I thought he's defense, he's SEC maybe Saban knows what he's doing but that was a completely stupid pick. At least Ginn could make a big play every now and then. If he was 3rd round he probably would've even been liked by the fans. If Allen was 3rd round nobody would remember his name.

It's very hard for me to say Ted Ginn was the WORST pick, considering our other option would've been Brady Quinn.
It was a choice of monumental suck and normal suck.
Totally agree everyone saying we could have gotten Willis or Revis is fooling themselves. Ted Ginn wasn't a good pick, but compared to us drafting Quinn that automatically makes it not the worst pick...especially since he single-handedly beat the Jets in 2009 with two awesome kick returns and burned Revis for a TD in the first game that year.
Best Moment: watching the draft live I was excited when we took Tannehill, because I knew it was coming and it was great that it finally happened. I was also thrilled when we got Ronnie Brown, because the perception was it would be Braylon Edwards and was also happy that we passed on Brady Quinn, didn't care who we draft just was stoked it wasn't Quinn.
Worst Moment: two biggest ones for me was when we got Jamar Fletcher, i was pissed because Brees was still there. the other was Pat White, it was a ridiculous pick and knew it was a wasted pick the second his name was called. he would have been there in the fourth round but Parcells wasted a 2nd.
It always hilarious when old fans think sifting through a card catalog at the library is much more efficient than using google.

Not at the library but getting the Dolphin Digest and reading the entire thing :rolleyes2:
Marino has to be number one, particularly coming on the heels of David Woodley blowing Superbowl 17 with his pathetic performance, and I didn't expect Marino to be there that late in round one ...but I must admit after over a decade of this franchise ignoring the QB position for Journeyman and passing on Brees, Rogers, Ryan, and Kapernick who I wanted....it felt good when they drafted Tannehill finally.
The worst is too many to count....it starts with the multiple bad drafts of the 80's that kept Marino from a ring...I hated Daryl Gardener over Ray Lewis...Missing out on Moss to trade down for Avery....but I was really pissed with the Fletcher pick over Drew Brees. Hated the Ronnie Brown pick from day one as I was a huge Aaron Rogers fan....

I thought Brady Quinn was passed on for Ted Ginn.

From a galaxy far far away....
The drafting of Sam Maddison was the best for me. The worst...the 1st 2 picks from 2009. Davis & White. No No No No No.
