With the selection of Cunningham, Miami passed on LB Danny Trevathan selected with the 188th pick. Cunningham had a non-eventful two year stint with Miami. Cunningham was selected by the Dolphins at 183rd overall. Kaddu was a productive special teams player for two years before being released by Miami.Īs for notable players? Unless you count PKs, the only productive player Miami passed on was FS George Iloka (167). Miami traded back 10 spots in round 5 and selected LB Josh Kaddu, Oregon with pick #155. The only truly notable player selected after Miller in round 4 was QB Kirk Cousins but, like Wilson in the previous round, was probably not a true consideration for Miami after selecting a QB in round 1. In four years, Miller averaged nearly 4.6 yards/carry and scored 19 TDs, despite being used sparingly by then-head coach Joe Philbin. The Dolphins traded up in round 4 for RB Lamar Miller, Miami (FL) with the 97th pick. Mandatory Credit: Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports / Other players passed up for Egnew included WRs Mohammed Sanu (83rd) and T.Y. (It should be noted though that Miami was unlikely to have considered Wilson after selecting Tannehill 8th overall.) He caught a total of 7 passes for 69 yards in two years with the Dolphins before being released.Īs fate would have it, the Dolphins’ move back from the 73rd selection cost them a chance to consider drafting QB Russell Wilson who went 75th overall. Unfortunately for the Dolphins, Egnew turned out to not be a good pass-catching TE either. ![]() As it turns out, the second part was correct. Egnew was touted as an excellent target in the passing game with zero interest/ability in blocking. Vernon got off to a slow start in his rookie season (making zero starts but registering 3.5 sacks) but put together 25.5 sacks over the next three seasons before leaving Miami for the New York Giants in free agency.Īs for the second pick in round 3, Miami traded back six spots with the San Diego Chargers and pick TE Michael Egnew, Missouri with the 78th pick. Mandatory Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports / With their original pick (72nd overall), Miami drafted DE/OLB Olivier Vernon, U of Miami (FL). Thanks to the trade that sent WR Brandon Marshall to Chicago, Miami had back-to-back 3rd round selections. The failed selection of Martin cost Miami a chance to draft players such as WR Alshon Jeffrey (45th pick) and LBs Bobby Wagner (47th) and Levonte David (58th). The ensuing drama, “Bullygate”, ripped apart the fragile chemistry of the team and led to the suspension of G Richie Incognito and the firing of offensive line coach Jim Turner. Martin played one-and-a-half disappointing seasons for Miami before walking out on the team midway through the 2013 season. At pick #42, Miami thought they were drafting their right tackle of the future when they selected T Jonathan Martin out of Stanford.īy now, most fans know how this story goes. While the success of the Dolphins first round pick is up for debate, there is no debate over their second round pick. If you don’t, then you probably wish Miami had selected one of these four players. In the end, if you believe that Tannehill is good, then QB trumps all other positions. Where the QB takes a hit is in the win/loss column where he is 37-40 as a starter.Īs for who might Miami have taken instead? LB Luke Kueckly, CB Stephon Gillmore, DT Dontari Poe, and DT Fletcher Cox were the next four picks taken after Tannehill. Mandatory Credit: Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports /Īs for the stats? In his five years as a starter, Tannehill has thrown for 18, 455 yards, completed 62.7% of his passes and has a 106-66 TD/INT ratio and has improved pretty much every year of his career. Miami Gardens, FL, USA Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (17) throws a pass during the second half against Arizona Cardinals at Hard Rock Stadium.
