I would love to get this guy. He has the same measurables and abilities as Nnamdi Asomugha. NA ran a 4.48 at the combine. Nnamdi was originally projected to be a second day/5th round pick until he ran a 4.38 40 at his pro day and was then chosen in the 2nd round.

Now that we, unexpectedly, re-signed Crowder, I think it's like getting another draft pick (since ILB isn't AS glaring a need anymore). I still see us drafting an ILB on day 1 (the talent is just too deep, and Ayodele isn't very good), but we now have more flexibility to take the BPA either at WR, Center, NT, LB, or DB.

You mean the guy who drafted John Avery and Yatil Green in the 1st round?

I can name a lot more duds drafted high by Jimmy while he was in Miami than good picks.

That was because Jimmy insisted in feeding him the ball on 1st and 2nd down and wouldn't throw inside the 10. It's ridiculous how Jimmy wasted Marino's final years making this guy a 1000-yard rusher (barely!).

JJ had his share of misses on defense as well.
CB Dorian Brew (rd 3)
CB Kirk Pointer (rd 4)
LB Lacurtis Jones (rd 4)
LB Ronnie Ward (rd 3)
LB Brad Jackson (rd 3)
You build your team with those picks in rounds 1-4. Out of those 5 guys, only Ronnie Ward ever made the roster. That is an incredible waste of draft picks. And to make it worse, the same 4 guys that never even made the team were all acquired in trade downs. Everyone always raved about JJ's drafting and how he manipulated the draft. But, for the most part, he was a lousy drafter for us.
