Luis Delmas plays with wreckless abandon...

I once saw him throw himself at a Rb i think it was by the sidelines...I said to myself who the hell is this guy is he crazy..WTF

It was louis delmas.

I truly hope he can stay healthy with his kind of play.

Seems like a reasonable assessment, tho I would give Jarvis Landry a "B" based on what he's shown as a total body of work -- TC and preseason included.

But yea, he needs to settle in more...

The dude is a legit football player and I think he's going to be very good in short order...

If we are grading, I would do that based on....

1. V = Value (where selected in draft, cap hit, was it an improvement over the last starter)

2. P = Potential for future as of what we know right now.

3. C = Contribution (to games)

Ja'Wuan James, OT, Tennessee:
V = B+
P = A
C = A

Jarvis Landry, WR, LSU:
V = C
P = B+
C = C

Billy Turner, OT/OG, North Dakota State:
V = C
P = C+
C = D

Walt Aikens, CB, Liberty:
V = D
P = C
C = C

Arthur Lynch, TE, Georgia:
V = D
P = C
C = F

Jordan Tripp, LB, Montana:
V = B
P = B
C = D


Matt Hazel, WR, Coastal Carolina
V = C
P = D
C = F

Round 7
Terrence Fede, DE, Marist
V = B
P = B+
C = D

Undrafted Rookie Acquisitions
Chris McCain, LB, California
V = A
P = B+
C = B-

Harold "Gator" Hoskins, TE, Marshall
V = B-
P = C
C = D

Anthony Johnson, DT, LSU
V = B
P = B-
C = C

Williams, Damien, RB, Oklahoma
V = B+
P = C+
C = C

Orleans Darkwa, RB, Tulane
V = C
P = C+
C = D

DeAndre Coleman, DT, California
V = C
P = D
C = F

Free Agent Pickups 2014
Louis Delmas, S, from the Lions
V = C
P = C+
C = B

Earl Mitchell, DT from the Texans
V = B
P = A
C = B+

Knowshon Moreno, RB from the Broncos
V = B
P = B+
C = B+

Brandon Albert, T from the Chiefs
V = B
P = A
C = A

Sam Satele, C, from the Raiders
V = B
P = C+
C = B

Cortland Finnegan, CB from the Rams
V = C
P = B+
C = B

Shelley Smith, G from the Rams
V = B
P = B-
C = C+

Kelvin Sheppard, LB from the Colts
V = ?
P = D
C = F

Overall I give Hickey a B (Improvement from Ireland who I would give a D)

I say a little too high for most. Does not matter where one comes from. What matters is what that person brings. Most of the players mentioned will never amount to anything more than a backup. That to me is D material. C is for guys that start. B is for players that start and consistently good. A is for elite franchise players.

I like it.

The fact that EVERYONE seems to be contributing and we don't really have any blow outs is just amazing.

Still awaiting for our princess , "Dion Jordon" to come back and show something. Anything.

Hickey is the bright spot on Ross's resume so far , no doubt.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

I agree he did a good job this year.

Chris McCain, LB, California
This was an incredible acquisition, he's gifted physically and instinctually. I wonder why no one scooped him up in the draft?
Grade A

How does he get an A? I think he played in 1 game so far.

JoeDKfootball, going to have to change his name to Joezzzzzzzzzzzzzfootball after that snooze of a post,

Gotta work on those comprehension skills yet again Dopin.

Toko gave him the A. I gave him an A in VALUE because he is cheap and didn't cost a draft pick...but I don't really expect you to get understand the distinction.

A sack on Tom Brady and a blocked punt vs the Pats are worth it if he does nothing again all year....but he will.

And just exactly what are you offering to this site that is so valuable? NOTHING. Oh I forgot...RT sucks.

I like your system Joe, maybe I will use it to reevaluate at mid-season. At that time we can get a better idea of these new guys but so far mostly they look good to me.

You did good Toko.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Joe I didnt even read your post, you bore me.

My question was addressed to Toko.

I think it's pretty impressive to grab an undrafted guy and have that guy perform at a high level when he is on the field. He just missed the London game, but when McCain goes in the game, I feel like he's going to do something every time. He's got that "nose for the ball" kind of instinct that can not be trained or learned. You have it or you don't. McCain has it. Right now he is a little young so he's still thin for his position, but I really like his ceiling as a player and his immediate impact. When all our LB's ended up getting hurt in game 1, McCain was one of the guys that stepped in and rattled the Patsies. I think he is good now and will get even better...so yes he gets an A.

Seattle has built a champion based on a lot of undrafted guys or late rounders along with hitting on Earl Thomas, Wilson and the Lynch trade

Nice one BNF!

Toko--very professional assessment. Nice job.

I agree on McCain. Once he can work his way into the lineup, he is going to be a player. Not sure where that is but SLB seems to be a legit spot. Wheeler is entrenching himself on the weak side. Good for him in his second year. Now let's see if Tripp can take over the middle!

Wheeler can't tackle for shit. I hope McCain takes over for him. Lets pick a Linebacker with our #1 pick next season. I don't see Jordon breaking ground there. Wasted 2 picks.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!
