Q&A with draft pick Jalen Parmale

ATVZ400New MemberOPQ: What do you consider to be your strengths and weaknesses?
A: "My strengths are my ability to run with power. I have good power when I run, an explosion. As far as what I need to work on, my consistency, my technique in blocking. It gradually got better through the years, it's just one thing that I need to improve on."
Q: What did the Dolphins say about why they were looking at you as a player?
A: "They told me they were looking for a player with some versatility. They liked my character and they were looking for some quality player that can contribute to the team whether it's special teams or being a backup running back. That's what they told me."

versatility eh? i wonder what exactly they mean by that... play on S/T as well?
i don't understand the RB pick, but i guess with LoBook being traded away (i'm still pissed about that), we needed the depth. PLUS with Ronnie as our bruiser and unable to stay healthy, i guess we could use another bruiser.

pocolocosubscriberParmele made some sense to me, while coming back with Hilliard didn't. I felt you could have Hilliard undrafted and get another guy too.
Brown has injury issues, Ricky is Ricky, and now Booker is gone. Booker wasn't a 3 down between the tackles type of back anyway. So you almost have to plan like your 3rd back is gonna be a starter at some point, and imo, Parmele or Chauncey Washington are good bets in the 6th, but Washington comes with an attitude.
