If there werent many other Dolphin fans in the draft I think you could have gotten Ronnie way latter and helped fill another need, but overall not a bad team.
Sure. First of all I have Rudi Johnson rated highly on my board this year. The Bengals defense is improved so I don't see them having to throw 35 times a game every game. Rudi is supposedly healthy and I think he can return to 1400 yard shape this year. Secondly, there wasn't much left in the RB department by that pick. They went quickly. I could have gone Julius Jones, Michael Turner, Selvin Young, Thomas Jones, a few other options were available. But I settled on Rudi.
I don't like it actually... these pairs...LT and Rivers on the same team PLUS Rudi and Chad on the same team... I don't like the idea of drafting from the same NFL team multiple players... LT is going to be taking TD's away from Rivers... Rudi will be doing the same thing to Chad... when you have runners vs passers/receivers from the same team it scares me. if the Bengals get blown out and you have Rudi and Chad starting, you're in trouble... same thing if SD gets blown out and your starting LT and Rivers. Sure, the Chargers are a strong team, just alot of risk. I do like drafting a good QB/WR or TE tandem. But not mixing in a RB...
I like it quite a bit actually. I think the Johnson pick is fine given that you had to wait until 20 to pick again. You have good RB depth, especially if Ronnie stays healthy. Your QBs are adequate, and your WRs are pretty damn good. I'd probably be on the look out for another TE but overall I'd say you did very well.
