Rumor: Albert to the Dolphins
*Albert
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-the-dolphins/ So that great 08' draft class won 0 playoff games and 3 of the better players from that draft are no longer on the team. Thanks Pioli. Last edited by morphius; 03-09-2014 at 02:30 PM.. |

We all freaked the **** out (rightfully so) when Tyson Jackson was taken at 3rd overall. Quote:

Fisher was widely regarded as just as good of a prospect as Richardson. Across the board, people thought he would be successful. So, you have two guys, each projected to succeed at the next level. One is an OT, and the other a 3-4 DE. I don't see any reason why one of those picks is bad and the other good. Again, it's not like anyone knew that Richardson was going to blow up and Fisher would struggle. Of course, they get paid extremely well to make those decisions. But at the end of the day, clearly it's just ****ing hard to really project success in the NFL. |

Other teams are drafting QB's and playmakers. Players you can build a franchise around. KC loves us some OL/DL...

Go back and look at the draft threads. I was crying for us to draft a QB, even after the Alex trade. I am so terrified we are going to spend our first rounder this year on another ****ing lineman, because derp a derp trenches. This team is missing skill at the skill position. If anything, I suppose it's best to be pissed off that we didn't go after Tayvon Austin. |

![]() Good teams don't draft the skills positions in the top 5 unless they are: 1. Completely set along their OT and DL. 2. That skills player is a once in a generation-type talent. (Calvin Johnson) 3. The skills players available are clearly superior in talent to the OT or DL player available. |

That's entirely subjective though.

Hindsight is 20/20. No one saw Richardson as a "sure thing" 3-4 DE and a top three pick at the time. Maybe some wanted to trade back and take him but, that's almost a pipe dream with the #1 pick.
