Ronnie Brown is a good tailback. He was the best available in the draft. People expect too much from running backs when 80% of their success is dependent on their offense lines which the Dolphins do not have. Nothing pisses me off more then hearing crap like "what's wrong with _____....why isn't he running ?" Nevermind the defense is 5 yards in the backfield every play. I can understand that when you're talking about a guy like Ron Dayne who obviously doesn't have what it takes...but we do know Ricky Williams has what it takes he's led the NFL in rushing....he's not running any better then Ronnie right now so that oughta tell you something......Cadillac is not any better then Ronnie Brown despite his better stats.

Do you think he was worth the #2 overall? or do you think there was a better player we should have picked?

No. He was the best RB available but IMO no tailback is worth a #2 pick simply because, due to the short shelf life and injury rate at the tailback position, the position itself isn't worth the money of a #2 pick. Better to go the Shanahan route and build an offensive "system" then just plug and play with minimum wage runners. You could also have easily picked up an Edgerrin James and several others for less then half that price tag. Spend your money on positions that call for it.
