Selecting a fifth offensive lineman in the draft's first two-rounds since 2007 certainly isn't sexy
This tells me Miami is failing somewhere. Whether it be at scouting or in the development of these players.
Disagree.
Most of those selections have been good players.
Jake Long, Mike Pouncey, Samson Satele... none of them are busts. Still waiting on Jonathan Martin.
Jake Long simply broke down physically... Pouncey is an arrow up player.
Satele is still in the league with the Colts. He was simply a victim of circumstance. He got drafted by one regime in 2007 that believed in zone blocking, but he was not a system fit in 2008 when they went to a power blocking scheme. He's not a worldbeater, but is a starting caliber player.
