I want to get some of your opinion on the Dolphins' past draft. I know it's extremely early and unfair to determine whether the players you guys drafted were worth it or not. As a Jets fan, I feel like your guys have not contributed as much I thought they would.
Just want your opinion the Dolphins' rookies.

Usually it's extremely early and unfair to Judge a draft class in its first season.
For us it's impossible.
None of them got any significant playing time, period. Jordan flashed his ability a few times. Huge pressure on flacco that forced a pick 6, covered gronkowski one on one, sacked cam newton once. But he still barely played.
The two CBS were oft-injured early on and the surprising play of Nolan Carroll kept them off the field. I think jamar Taylor played one game. Will Davis only a few snaps.
Dallas Thomas never played.
Time will tell but in retrospect we obviously should have made that trade for Albert during the draft.Da 'Fins likes this. -
Well our first round pick from Oregon, Shutthe Effuptroll.....is a sleeper
2nd round pick Justkill Yourself, will contribute soon enough I believe, we just need the right coaching to come in and work with him.
Our 3rd round pick Yourmother Sahoe will really shine in his second year, he jumps routes a lot but will get better.
Our 4th round pick Dieina Fireplz wont cut it I feel
Our 5th pick Yourgutis Fullofcum will surprise some people, just you watch!
Our 6th round pick Jetshav Bigaids will faze out soon
our 7th round pick, Yourfamily Deservestobepoorforever......was irrelevent, like you.bigbry, 305, seabass0795 and 14 others like this. -
IN another thread I believe you discussed how much better the Jets draft was than the Dolphins.
Take bait anyone? -

You are not wrong in assuming they did not contribute as much as fans were hoping. Our kicker made some field goals, the #3 overall picked flashed, and the guy we took in the 7th round showed some promise on special teams, but other than that, bleh.

I present the 2013 Miami Dolphins Draft:
DE Dion Jordan, first round, No. 3 overall - 26 tackles, two sacks
CB Jamar Taylor, second round, No. 54 overall - 3 tackles
OL Dallas Thomas, third round, No. 77 overall - No stats (2 Snaps Total) (Consider how bad that is, since the Dolphins lost two OL due to the hazing incident, and started 8 different OLmen this year)
CB Will Davis, third round, 93 overall - 8 tackles
LB Jelani Jenkins, fourth round, 104 overall - 17 tackles
TE Dion Sims, fourth round, 106 overall - 6 receptions, 32 yards, one touchdown
RB Mike Gillislee, fifth round, 164 overall - 6 carries, 21 yards
K Caleb Sturgis, fifth round, 166 overall - Stats: 26-of-34 on field goals, 33-of-33 on extra points - Literally the only rookie who did anything for the Dolphins this year
DB Don Jones, seventh round, 250 overall - 10 tackles, one tackle for loss -

You can't fully evaluate a draft after one year of course , however you can grade it for what it contributed that year. It wasn't like we could have used a boost from the draft class or anything. You better be rewarded if you red shirt a full draft class.

Back on the draft, we are pretty much pick middle round for every round. It will be another interesting offseason of speculation. I honestly am excited. Again.

I laugh so hard how you think I'm Joe!!! -
I just don't want us to spend our time and resources and hone Dion into a better player than he already his, get him into pro-bowl shape and just to have some other team swoop in and steal him when his contract is up which is what usually happens.

What? -
Whoops, wrong pick. My bad. -
Makes Rex look tiny...lololololol.
Whatta fatass
