The first pick is unassailable: A franchise tackle (Jake Long) who will immediately upgrade Miami’s offense in terms of both the run and the pass. Beyond that, it can be argued that every pick thereafter is open to criticism. Two defensive ends, two guards, two running backs (in the same round!) and virtually no attention paid to skill positions such as wide receiver and cornerback. Add two trades, including one that shipped a fan favorite and former third-round pick to Philadelphia for nothing more than a fourth-round pick in return, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for nothing short of outright mutiny.
Now, some of you might say that mutiny is a bit of a strong word, but think about it this way: If it was Cam Cameron making these selections, just imagine what the South Florida reaction might have been like.

I wonder how many teams the writers of these articles have built from the ground up? Probably as many as I have. If Parcells and Co. picked these players, they did so for a reason.
I have all the faith in the world in the Big Tuna. -
If you read the whole article, they are saying they trust Parcells to do what it takes to win, just that the moves were not palatable for the fans. I disagree with them, however---I think we made a big mistake by not taking skill position players in the 3rd-5th rounds.

Reading is fundamental. I skipped that one.
