    Things being what they are everything is getting evaluated. (Not really, is Ross evaluating himself as owner? And something tells me Christmas Tree isn't getting properly evaluated either.) That means that Hickey will be up on the block soon, if he isn't already.

    The question I want to ask is, all things considered, what do you think of the job Hickey has done?

    Some provisos:

    1 - After the addition of Tannenbaum it has become a bit more difficult to separate out who is responsible for what moves.
    2 - I'd especially like to hear what people think about the picks Hickey has made - or seemed to make - taking into account the picks/talent available to the Dolphins at their spots in the drafts. For example, the OL has probably the worst peforming unit over the last few years and yet also one of the units to receive the least help. That said, just because the ideal would have been to add talent and depth to the OL doesn't mean that the talent was there, or that better, wiser picks were made in the real world scenario. (Which, if the case, would mean that draft status + available talent = bad scenario for re-building an OL).

    So - guys - Hickey - has he done a (real-world) good job or not?

    Freebie - as for Tannenbaum, I say ditch him. Bad move from the start. Don't like his work.

    Imo he is the one who drafts our players. I think tannenbaum is in charge of free agency. I think hickey had a decent draft this past year. I'm fine with him going forward. On a side note its tough figuring out exactly where the responsibilities lay between the two

    Anyone would look good after the disastrous drafts Ireland made. The trading up to get Jordan was the ultimate failure IMO. Those kind of mistakes are responsible for this team having to sign expensive and often injury prone FAs .Thats no way to build a team. We need 4 succesful drafts to get up to the depth we need IMO.

    hickey did a good job. then tannebaum was hired and tannebaum took hickey's job and started doing personnel and draft. hickey is gone after this year. it's well noted hickey wanted to draft different players but tannebaum overided his draft.

    Truth is, I don't think we will ever know how good of a job Hickey has done. We need a couple years to know how this past draft will pan out. Seems like a decent draft, free agency and trades were a bust, but how much was just hickey?

    It has become just like with parcells and ireland.To many chiefs and not sure who to blame when it comes crumbling down.We can thank ross for this setting up this minor league front office.

    While I wasn't sorry to see Ireland go, to say he didn't draft good players isn't exactly accurate. There's quite a few of his draft picks still in the NFL, on other teams, that are doing pretty well. Now, perhaps he was not drafting players that were good fits for this team, but that's different than not being able to identify talent.

    He also proceeded to trade or let go of good talent he drafted. He also wasn't very good in free agency or trades.

    I do agree, his drafts were decent IMO.

    Ireland made plenty of f*** ups in his tenure here. Dude could do work in rounds 3-7 though, he was very under rated in that aspect. I always got the feeling he was a real tape junkie and I liked that a lot. He was made the scapegoat for bullygate but the real reason he was fired was because he wanted Failbin fired and the owner didn't, pretty weak reason and weak owner if you ask me.

    He was known as a scout and tape junkie before he came to Miami. And the real reason he was fired is because he was not a good GM. You can't just be good form rounds 3-7 in the draft and you're a good GM. And he wasn't very good at anything else his job entailed other then deep in the draft.

    His first round picks before the colossal f*** up in Jordan were Odrick, Vontae, Pouncy, and Tannehill, that's not bad. And he got fired before Jordan was an official bust and most of that 2013 draft class, I disagree he was fired for "not being a good GM". He wasn't a great GM, but he was fired for the wrong reasons, Ross made a football decision he should not have made. And he chose queasy lol, that's why he got all excited and extended Failbin after the Minny game, he wanted to be right, he wasn't. Hickey has been as mediocre as Ireland, and will probably get fired for the wrong reasons as well lol. Not easy to find a good GM, especially with this owner. I hope he enjoyed his time with queasy, I sure didn't.

    I never said he wasn't good at first round. I was just saying 3-7 because you brought up those rounds.

    He was not a good GM. A good GM also is good at trading and free agency. As well as keeping home grown talent, and building relationships.

    Hickey? Meh. Look at what happened with the guard position. Part Philbin's fault but if they knew what they had in Rishard do we need Devante Parker? There were a couple good CBs sitting there and they heavily scouted Marcus Peters I've read.

    Wanting/needing a wide receiver and you trade down twice missing Allen Robinson and take Jarvis Landry.

    That's your opinion and I respect that. I really like OV, Shelby, Jelani, Koa, Reshad, Lamar, RT, Pounce, Matthews, Clay, Simms, Odrick, Vontae though so to me he did fine at his job of getting talent, he just never had a real head coach because Ross never allowed him to choose one. And he wasn't fired for his GM blunders, he was fired because he wanted Failbin gone, and Ross didn't. He was essentially fired for being right lol, the vast majority of our fans don't seem to care/get that but it is true.

    The truth is this team has such a ****ed up organizational structure it will never be possible to truly grade the performance of one individual in the front office. All we will ever know for sure is that currently the franchise is a failure as a whole and a huge mess from the top down.

    Yea well when your owner comes out in a press conference after firing the GM and says things like, we need to get everyone on the same page. And then proceeds to make it a big deal that the next hire at GM needs to essentially accept and work well with Queasy Joe, and then extends Failbin after another failed season after a meaningless win. I'm pretty sure I know what's going on up there.

    Hickey was hired to be nothing more than a do-boy for Philbin and Tannenbaum. Tannenbaum is the real GM of this team.

    That's great. He also did a fine job of getting bad players and shipping or letting talent out of Miami. Also known as not being a good GM.

    Still got fired primarily for trying to get rid of Failbin though (Ross's boy), what a joke this owner is.

    Draft can be hit and miss except for top-notch players... but I can not understand how we suck sooooo bad at free agents. Unless the good ones just don't want to come here unless you want to break the bank... aka Suh.

    Hickey is nothing more then a giant hickey on Tannenbaum Johnston

    I'd take Ireland over him any day

    All we have done is regress. At least under Ireland we were competitive and had one of the best cap situations in football

    Lol look at us now, 6-10 and one of the worst caps

    I think Ireland got stuck with a coach that he didn't like or want. He was a bit of a jerkoff but he was the only guy that really knew football in the entire organization.

    This is so true, over the last ten years its seems like we let go of players who not only stick with another team but turn out to be damn good players.

    I think a superstar wr is greater than any db. I.e. even though I liked Peters the most of all the cb's. It just makes sense to take Parker.

    It really is a maddening shell game figuring out who is to blame for each decision made in the draft and free agency.

    I love this last draft,despite not getting that mlb from Miami in the second due to the trade back. I blame the acquisition of Douglas on Philbin, as Hickey specifically mentioned Philbin's preference for less beef, more endurance in his O-linemen(as he anticipated 80-90 plays on offense,lol)

    I think Ireland knows football. I wont get into it to deep for fear of turning this into a Ireland thread. But I will say IMO he got a bum deal and never had a coach worth a damn. I mean he had little to no say with Parcells at the helm and then got saddled with Sparano and Philbin. Wow talk about bad luck

    Hickey was brought in for January of 2014. Since then he's been through two drafts and free agency periods, although the 2015 FA period was supposedly Tannenbaum's work.

    2014 Free Agency

    Brent Grimes 4 year/$32,025,000 with $16,950,000 guaranteed

    Branden Albert 5 year/$47M with $26M guaranteed

    Earl Mitchell 4 year/$16M with $9M guaranteed
    The Dolphins had a formidable defensive front with Randy Starks, Paul Soliai, and Jared Odrick. But Soliai and Starks were free agents and Soliai left the Dolphins to take a bigger deal with the Falcons. The Dolphins had a plan however and signed away former Texans nose tackle Earl Mitchell. Mitchell was miscast as a true 3-4 nose tackle in Houston's defense, and stated that he desired to play in a 4-3 scheme. That switch should suit his skillset better and the Dolphins hope he be more dynamic in that role. Mitchell should be a defensive tackle that will use his athleticism to get into the backfield more and make plays. The contract isn't bad and it would have been more expensive to resign Soliai. Reports from minicamp are that Mitchell has taken to this scheme change well. Overall, not a bad move.

    Randy Starks 2 year/$10M with $5M guaranteed

    Shelley Smith 2 year/$5.5M with $1.5M guaranteed.
    Miami needed major upgrades on the offensive line, but after signing Albert, sat back and waited on the guard position. Several higher profile candidates signed with other teams and the Dolphins finally made a move and signed former Texans and Rams backup Shelley Smith. He doesn't have much starting experience, but does have ties with current OL coach John Benton from his days in Houston. Smith has experience in Benton's zone blocking scheme and has the necessary athleticism to play well in that scheme. Smith graded out positively on PFF, ranking 25th out of 144 guards, with a +7.2 grade, tied with former Dolphin Richie Incognito. He graded out poorly as a pass blocker, but graded 7th best as a run blocker. He will be needed in this regard as Miami's O-line last season was awful in run blocking (only Jaguars and Jets were graded lower in run blocking last season by PFF). Smith was getting first team reps at right guard during minicamp and OTAs, but also was getting reps at center. With Pouncey set to miss some games, Smith may move over to starting center. He will be in competition with Nate Garner, Sam Brenner, and perhaps undrafted rookie Tyler Larsen for the starting center spot. I give this signing a C grade because even though the contract is good, he is very unproven. While he graded well, it was a limited sample size. So while it appears to be an upgrade, it may turn out to be a depth signing at best.

    Cortland Finnegan 2 years/$11M with $5.5M guaranteed

    Knowshon Moreno 1 year/$3M with $1.25M guaranteed

    Jason Fox 1 year/$765K with $65K guaranteed

    Daryn Colledge 1 year/$2M with $250K guaranteed

    Damian Williams 1 year/$760K with $30K guaranteed

    I really, really wish I could have a definitive answer behind who made what calls since Tannenbaum entered the picture.

    The differences between the free agency periods of 2014 and 2015, to me, seem massive. And without having gone over the details and more based on what I've gleaned over the past two seasons, I'd rather ditch Tannenbaum and let Hickey have control (other coaching decisions etc. not withstanding).

    I think Tannenbaum will be bad for this team and if Ross really is set on him as 'the' guy then we might not see a decent Dolphins team until both Ross and Tannenbaum head back to New York permanently never to return.

    Theses are a few of the dead cap numbers we had to deal with this season because of your buddy

    Mike Wallace...$6,600,000,Dannell Elerbe...$6,400,000,Brian Hartline...$4,200,000
