Yahoo says Ireland was a Draft winner

[phinatic1399]

Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland – Perhaps the most embattled executive in the league, Ireland could have easily given in to desperation, particularly after there were so many trades on Thursday (six of the top seven picks, counting St. Louis shipping No. 2 in March, were dealt and the No. 6 pick was traded twice). Instead, Ireland sat tight and got the player he wanted all along in quarterback Ryan Tannehill. This is the first time since 1983 that the Dolphins have used a first-round pick on a quarterback. Frankly, it was about time.

Ireland did a fantastic job in the draft.

I think so too,solid draft....

He filled pretty much all needs and got great value on a lot of picks. I'd say it is one of his best, if not the best draft he's had during his tenure.

 

[nepaica]

I agree

For sure one of the best draft I've seen in a long while. Must give Jeff, Joe, and their scouting team some well earned kuddos!

I'll wait until I see what our "college boys" do in the NFL. I'm not interested in cleverness, or "draft manipulation", unless success comes with it.

He is and if for nothing else the pick of Tannehill, in my opinion, will give him at least another year.

Jason Cole writing the article no less. Most have really impressed him to give Ireland or the Dolphins any credit.

Well this is certainly a rarity

Well this is certainly a rarity

Maybe Parcells was the problem the whole time. Only time will tell I guess.

How do you judge a draft honestly on the day players have been taken?
Whatever happened to seeing how things turn out.
Names don't = development.
