Greg Cote of the Miami Herald makes a good point about the Dolphins choosing a wrong year (in terms of the draft) to be a bad team.
Here is the problem for Miami as the April 26 draft thunders in:
The Dolphins, who continue to clearly need the rescue of a great quarterback more than anything else, keep picking really bad years to be really bad.
The Dolphins should be the envy of the draftosphere right now. Instead, every executive in the NFL is glad he isn’t Bill Parcells, because in a draft in which the top six or seven guys are judged pretty even, the only thing picking first gets you is the honor of paying many millions of dollars more than the team probably getting somebody just as good two or three spots lower.
Cote makes a good point, although it’s ludicrous to think the Dolphins won’t get a good player. Several folks in the media are down on this April’s draft, but I actually think it’s the type of year that could surprise. Chris Long, Jake Long and Glenn Dorsey are likely going to be very good football players at the next level. Sure, Darren McFadden is the arguably the only flashy player that will be chosen in the top 10, but teams are more about substance anyway. Fans are about the flash.
