Indy Star reported on Dec. 15 that #Dolphins don't receive #Colts 6th round pick because Vontae Davis didn't play enough in 2012

Oh goody. The haters got another reason to hate Vontae.

I just don't get folks arguments that he could have helped us when he couldn't even play enough to meet a comp pick requirement.

He played 606 snaps on defense. I wonder what the parameters were for the 6th.

Wait a sec...It's not really a "coupla" picks? Just another little dingle berry in the **** sandwich that is Jeff Ireland's tenure as Miami Dolphins GM.

Usually comp picks are around 60-75% of snaps. Sometimes higher.

That's why you don't do that kind of deal. Its for picks straight up or no deal. Ireland stupidity strikes again and it costs the Dolphins.

Tom Brady was a 6th.......you never know what you find there.

Who said I was livid ? I have come to accept incompetence with Ireland, so I am not really surpised.

Dude lay off the coffee......what an extreme post. Chill.

Well, it does suck that we don't get that extra pick. VD didn't meet the conditional requirements due to injury not because he wasn't worth the extra 6th rounder. I'm just assuming the conditions had something to do with games started/played and not making the pro bowl. It's a pretty fair assumption.

Davis played in 56% of their defensive snaps.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

Call grandma if you have any complaints on Vonte's playing time.

That's why they play the games!:yes:

Yah that usually doesn't cut it for that position. I'm surprised though that there wasn't a pick anyways. Usually conditional picks have a lower pick if they don't qualify and a higher pick if they do. He couldn't have still swung a 7th if he failed to meet the conditions?

I'm no fan of Irish, but I actually considered a sarcastic quip (not serious) about Brady having been a sixth, but then I thought: "Nah. Too far out" and didn't post it. So much for restraint. ;-)

Seriously, now; and again, I am no fan of Ireland, but how was he supposed to know Vontae was going to get hurt, so that he couldn't play the requisite number of snaps? Isn't this more of an act of God?
