Re: Ronnie Brown not looking too good.
Miami's been in a rut over the past 10 years regarding first round draft picks.
1997: Yatil Green - Tore ACL twice in training camp, never played.
1998: John Avery - Selected over Randy Moss. Imagine Dan Marino hooking up with Moss to end his career. Scary thought; I'm glad it didn't happen.
1999: No Draft Pick
2000: No Draft Pick
2001: Jamar Fletcher - Selected over Drew Brees, whom most analysts assumed was the Dolphins original target. Also, I can't even remember the amount of Fish fans that actually argued he would be better than Nate Clements.
2002: No Draft Pick
2003: No Draft Pick
2004: Vernon Carey - Pretty solid after a very slow start to his career. If I remember correctly, I think he went from a backup, to right guard, then to right tackle. We'll see how he does at left tackle this season.
2005: Ronnie Brown - Not bad but hasn't lived up to number two overall status in the draft.
2006: Jason Allen - Rough start to his career and it looks like he'll be the fourth cornerback this season. Too early to write him off, but I never liked the pick.
2007: Ted Ginn Jr - I thought it was an odd choice at number nine overall in the draft. We'll see though.
