Satele voted #6 offensive rookie according to SI. Congrats Samson, may be the anchor of our line for the next 10+ years.
Of equal note, 3 WRs on the list, and not a single member of Ted Ginn's family is among them.

Brown42000New MemberI didn't realize Dwayne Bowe had that good of a season with such a poor offense, it is nice to see Satele get some recognition.

Cleo sure does have a unique drop back style. :)

jedburgForum VeteranCongrats to Samson. I REALLY wish that Hudson Houck could have stuck around. The rest of the coaching staff, I don't care, but I think that he is probably the best OL coach in the league. He did a great job with what he had this year.

On draft day, there were more then a few people who thought we should have drafted Ryan Kalil who went one spot before Samson...
Samson named to that team, Ginn pro bowl alternate, that is down right respectable for a Dolphins draft....:hi5:

Definately a great use of the pick, and combined with Fields a solid value in return for Welker.

I agree..
And for the record, I was wanting Samson with the first second rounder we had :up:
and...as soon as FH comes back up, I will back this up:ffic:
Good job Big Sam...
and I also think letting Hud Houck go is gonna be bad for us.

Depends who becomes our OL coach, and if it turns out that Sparano is the HC (he is current Asst HC/OL coach for Cowboys) so no telling what his presence could equal.
Lastly, its possible the new HC can resign HH if he wants to, etc.

PhinFanticNew MemberIMHO he is the BEST third round draft pick since Jason Taylor in 1997.

You remember the "we should have traded up and drafted Ryan Kalil" noise Az?
That was very funny in hindsight....:lol:
Roman529New MemberSamson was a great draft pick......at least we got something by dealing away Wes Welker. I can't remember too many times this year where you saw a nose tackle or anyone else really beat Satele up the middle. I think most of the sacks given up were from going around the LT. Satele also doesn't fumble the snaps like Sweaty Hands Seth use to, and our line as a whole did not have a lot of false starts. It will be nice to have Samson there for years to come. :ffic:

I stated that day I was glad Kalil didn't make it to us because I knew the Phins would still go for Satele. By the time he gets to his 3rd year he should be something.

Thats some depressing reading in that link. Kinda explains our serious lack in talent!
Last years draft looks a decent improvement on recent drafts

Sorry , yes the second pick in the Second Round.
Still what other great draft pick in the second round can you think of that has made such an impact? Maybe Patrick Surtain in 1998?

He's pretty good now Van, I would be surprised if he didn't make the NFL All Rookie team.

Yup, Beck, Satele, Roth are our recent 2nd rounders (Chambers as honorable mention) (edit, Hagan and McMike were 3rd/4th rounders)

Sorry, Oopss. my bad, yes 3rd/4th round, was quickly looking at the wrong column (2nd pick / 3rd & 4th round each year).

McMicheal - 4th rounder in 2002.
