Title: NFL.com has re-do of 2009 draft round 1, Ireland looks like genius Post by: Spider-Dan on May 07, 2013, 07:03:52 pm http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000156632/article/2009-nfl-draft-doover-mike-wallace-percy-harvin-hit-top-five
Let's skip to the part that we care about: - MIN takes Vontae at #22 (originally: #25 to MIA) - MIA takes Michael Johnson (http://www.nfl.com/player/michaeljohnson/2507784/profile) at #25 (originally: #70 to CIN) - IND takes Sean Smith at #27 (originally: #61 to MIA) I imagine that Ireland casually dropped this article on Ross' desk.

What's your point? Classic case of Ireland haters unable to give the man any credit, even when it is obvious.

Classic case of Ireland haters unable to give the man any credit, even when it is obvious. No credit needed to be given in this case. Draft re-do's are a waste of time. And that's my opinion in general. I'm not bashing Ireland at all this time around Title: Re: NFL.com has re-do of 2009 draft round 1, Ireland looks like genius Post by: Brian Fein on May 10, 2013, 12:36:35 pm The point is to show who got value and who wasn't worth their slot. In both cases noted above, Ireland got guys with good value at slots lower (some much lower) than what they ended up being worth.
Its noteworthy, and should be a credit towards the Dolphins' scouting organization for recognizing talent and value picks.

Title: Re: NFL.com has re-do of 2009 draft round 1, Ireland looks like genius Post by: Spider-Dan on May 11, 2013, 01:11:38 am But that also shows that Ireland made the best of a weak draft.
