Yesterday I thought the Miami Dolphins FINALLY got a lucky break. I couldn't believe that the best player in the draft fell to them at the #13 draft slot.
After watching what the Dokphins front office did today, in the second and third rounds, I am starting to second guess my feelings about yesterday and "possibly" drafting the best player.
There were more then a few teams that really needed a left tackle. There were about four teams that could have drafted Tunsil because they have a need at that position and because he was touted as one of the best players in the draft. Those teams decided he was NOT worth the risk. Were they correct about him? Could the Dolphins have made a huge mistake?
After watching the front office consistently REACH for players, giving up picks to do so, I am having doubts about their entire draft now.
Tunsil gets busted smoking weed on camera with a gas mask bong. There are allegations that he took money to play college ball. And, there is a lawsuit pending against him for assault charges against his father-in-law.
Then, the next thing the Dolphins do is give up a 4th round pick for a player that would have definitely been there when they were on the board. They did this with several more talented players still on the board at multiple positions if need, including cornerback. Noah Spence, Reggie Ragland, Derick Henry, MacKensie Alexander, Su'a Cravens, Cody Whitehair, etc. The move made no sense to move up and give e up a pick for a lesser talented player. Keep an eye on the players listed above this year, they will be ballers.
Kenyan Drake? Are you kidding me? He is good for 10 touches a game! A complete waste of a draft pick. Dixon, Proise, Fuller and Vigil would have ALL been better picks.
Another Wide Receiver? Honestly? He's the next Boldin or Steve Smith, right? When it's 4th and 12 and Tannehill throws him a three yard pass with a defender draped all over him we will see how tough he is.
Arrested and charged with simple assault under domestic violence this past fall, suspended from Rutgers program indefinitely at the time.
Even with yesterday's draft I would give the Dolphins a D - grade
