Us old farts have seen this go from being something we had to read about in the newspaper to the crazy party it has become. Are you guys excited? I know Stroke is. I'm always excited to see where people end up but my expectations of the Dolphins has been tempered by the fact the team seems like it is being run by a couple of guys who are confident in their job and are starting a rebuild. We need like 5 starters for this year and that's assuming no one gets hurt.  Let's be honest ... that rarely happens these days.
Dolphins Picks at this point ...

Round 1: #13 overall
Round 2: #48 overall
Round 3: #98 overall (compensatory pick)
Round 4: #116 overall
Round 4: #135 overall (compensatory pick)
Round 5: #150 overall
Round 5: #155 overall (from Denver)
Round 7: #224 overall (from Chicago)
Round 7: #231 overall
Round 7: #253 overall (compensatory pick)
Round 7: #256 overall (compensatory pick)

We don't have that last compensatory pick (#256, round 7) because the NFL took it away, and then awarded it to the Chargers. It turned out we never should have got it for Cedric Wilson departing for the Saints.

I always enjoy the draft. I wish I could remember the first one I watched.

I remember that now that you mention it. Must have been an older list I pulled from.

I doubt that pick will make or break the draft.

I don't know. hahaha A lower pick produced a Super Bowl QB a few years ago. But then again .... it wasn't Chris Grier making the selection.

You never know.  You could find a Karl Mecklenberg, a Marques Colliston, or even a Tom Brady.

Yep, or even a Ryan Nece, who was in his father's shadow a Lott (not a typo) but made his own mark in the NFL.

I always have it on, but I don't really pay that much attention. It's interesting when there's a trade or someone falls a bunch but other than that it's not too interesting. I'll keep track of when the Dolphins pick and I'll pay attention for that, but that's about it.

The Dolphins have the opportunity to draft the 2nd or 3rd best O-lineman in the draft and they better do it!

Most of his first round picks have been hits.  Too bad not all the hits are still with the team today.

Other than Laremy Tunsil, none really started off too great. It took Austin Jackson 3 years, Wilkins took a couple of years, and Tua was part time player his first year. Chop came on at the end of the year but he was still a run liability so only played passing downs.

I say this not to disparage the players who became good, but to point out he doesn't have a great history of picking actual starters and we need several. In fact, his best two picks in Tunsil and Fitzpatrick, weren't around very long after falling into his lap.
