23 players, including Alfred Morris, over Lavonte David :lol:

An unproven quarterback has potentially tons more of an impact on a team than a proven tailback. If my choices are between Tannehill and Morris on a team devoid of both positions, today, I'll take Tannehill.

Shuda, coulda, woulda....means nothing in the real world. Besides, in a pass happy league that we are in, a potential QB over a RB is not only a must, but the best thing for the franchise overall...

An elite QB can give you 12-15 years of standout play, how many years on the average does an elite RB give you?

Thats the dumbest Do Over Pick Ive ever seen.

Maintaining a successful ground game over the long haul takes a lot of f***ing work and is incredibly volatile with all the working parts involved, including having a QB good enough to keep defenses from stacking the box. Meanwhile, a franchise quarterback changes it all in one fell swoop. Bucky must think we're still in the 80's and 90's before modern Free Agency, a higher rate of RB injuries, and a greater percentage of athletic linemen choosing the defensive side of the ball have all but killed the ability to sustain a solid ground game over the long haul.MonstBlitz, Fin-Omenal, ckparrothead and 1 other person like this. -

Agree with those above ... QB (Foles or Tannehill) over Morris. If he is going to rate Foles over Tanny, then he should have Miami drafting him at 8, and not Morris. That is just a bad pick.

He should change his name to Sucky Brooks.

What is he, Ray Jennings?

Every single time anyone does one of these, they screw over the Dolphins, often making a joke about it. It makes me crazy, but the only thing I can take away is that the national media thinks that our team is such a joke that they'll screw up every time that they're given the chance.

Taking a RB in the top 10 would be a huge mistake. Their NFL lives are too short and they just don't have that big of an impact on winning a super bowl. They can certainly help but you need a QB, pass rushers, ball hawking defensive backs and a good OL.

Wow. This guy got paid to write this.

Beware the opinions of former scouts.
I've heard grumbling before from actual scouts about how several former scouts on television are no longer scouts for a reason, and I've even heard Bucky Brooks explicitly named within that context.ToddPhin likes this. -
