    BS, BUST means they did not play for us, those guys did play for us, save for Murphy, Parmalee was poached by the Ravens and is still on their roster.

    Bess, Wake etc


    Heh, Clemons, Jones, Carroll, missed a couple there chief.

    Hilliard started games for us, Dotson has played some, Parmalee is a Raven.



    Hartline was on pace for 1k yds in 10 until injured, Clemons was our starter at FS, you maybe heard we finished 6th overall on Defense in 2010..

    Edds was injured, Jones virtually won the Titans game, and 2 7th rd picks? Really?

    When one only sees what they wish to see the view never changes, try reality next time, no team hits on every pick, they hit on more than most and have yet to have a #1 pick bust on them..something that happened regularly prior to their arrival.


    Some folks are just never happy, that is life.

    You should probably go look at what the reality of how actual, honest to goodness drafts turn out. No one hits almost all your picks with any regularity, not even elite drafting teams.

    The Dolphins draft results in the Parcells/Irelands years have been quite a bit better than average. Feel free to go compare them to perceived "elite" teams. There are a couple of singular drafts out there that we can't match(Patriots 2010, Ravens 2008), but by and large, they are doing a good job.

    Thanks for the posting lessons
    Let me clarify for the small bus riders

    We had no chance to make the playoffs
    last season no matter how one wants to spin it

    Hopefully this makes sense for you

    Impossible for a 5-7 round pick to be a bust.

    You draft the kid and if he even makes it onto the active roster you're surprised.

    I've questioned Ireland's ability to draft well offensively, but he definitely proved me wrong this year. He nailed it IMO. That was a 10 meter dive without a splash as far as I'm concerned.

    Exactly, add if they do make the team, and actually play and the team is not terrible then a good job was done.

    Funny thing, 1/3rd of the pro bowl roster?

    You so funny, there are legit criticisms to be made, ones that more than likely never occur to you.

    The problem is NOT :omg: a 7th rd pick did not make it!!!

    The problem is Ireland and Sparano are simply awful at anticipating problems with players, their evals are so far off that for a fan it is similar to riding with one's drunk uncle down a mtn rd at 3 am with the headlights off.

    To whit: Pat White's drafting was not the problem, the problem was not thinking that they should have hedged bets on D Thomas, Smiley, Grove, Brown etc, they never saw problems with them coming, like heading into this yr with Crowder and Dobbins at ILB and Wake as the only proven passrusher is a HUGE issue..yet no one as of yet can see the problems coming.

    If this regime fails ultimately that will be the reason why.

    Remeber ladies and gents we play in the toughest division in the NFl at this time IMO. Our home record sucked last yr but if we win most of em this yr its still gonna be tough to get in the post season. I just want improvement

    Argue with finyank again. It was funny to watch Tony Sparano argue with himself with your avis.
