Dang, who said that? I don't remember reading that post. A bit of an exaggeration Or a joke at the expense of someone who exaggerates what others are saying?

Re: NOW we should trade up for Lane Johnson Quote: 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.

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.

Yes they are "solid" players, but we haven't won a SB drafting that way. it's time to draft playmakers, not safe OL picks.
