WHAT KILLED THE DOLPHINS 2010 SEASON !!

Blame the strategy but not the picks. Obviously Pat White and Patick Turner were complete busts and wastes of picks. No excuses there. But you can’t look at this draft and say we should have drafted this player or that player. Ford and Hernandez were both 4th rd picks meaning every team in the league passed on them at least 3 times including the teams where they eventually ended up.

As for the 2010 draft, I think the jury is still out. I firmly believe that you can never have enough linemen. Odrick will hopefully be a good player. Consider him a bonus 1st round pick for the 2011 draft (to offset the 2nd rd pick we no longer have). And maybe Edds will be lik a bonus 3/4 pick next year.

Fromt he 2009 draft we still got Davis, Smith, Hartline, Clemons….all starters. What more can you expect from one draft given that every team misses on at least 50% of there picks? In 2010 we got Odrick, Misi, Jerry (all opening day starters) plus Carrol, Jones and Spitler (all depth special teams players).

If you want to lay blame, how about starting with the O-Line. The front office has had 3 cracks at both the draft AND free agency and our O-Line is worse off today than it was the day Parcells got here.

I agree with this post because we were able to get 3 solid LB’s including Dansby after day one. Instead, we drafted two more LB’s. Don’t forget that we got Dobbins from the San Diego trade. In the first round, we could have drafted Jahvid Best who would have been a top 15 pick except for the fact that he had a concussion. Both Jacoby Ford and Aaron Hernandez were picked ahead of us in the fourth round, but the FO could have been more creative in getting extra picks. In the 2009 draft, the regime had worked out Johnny Knox but were afraid to pull the trigger on the fast small speedster. How has that worked out for the Bears? Pretty good so far. This regime has an affinity to avoid drafting small speedsters. Our greatest success has been when we have smaller players complementing our big guys. In the 70’s, we had Mercury Morris and Nat Moore. During Marino’s time, we had Mark Clayton. If Ireland keeps his job, then he better start drafting quick and explosive players who are game changers. Dunking and dinking does not work especially in today’s NFL. All Ireland has to do is look at the Dolphins teams of the past. The blueprint is right in front of him.
