So in this "re-do" 3 of the guys Miami picked that year all go in the 1st round (Tannehill, Vernon, and Miler).

We can bash Ireland all day and night (and for very good reason) but that was one hell of a draft. That draft was Ireland's one and only shining moment in the NFL!! Even with the Egnew pick that same year mixed in!

That draft also had Jonathan Martin.  Him and Egnew taint what was otherwise a great draft.  Ireland had some hits bit had some glaring misses

If you get three first round caliber players out of one draft class, you had an excellent draft. I don't care if you spent your other picks on a moldy slice of bread, a roadkill possum and a skidmarked pair of tightie-whities, 3 first round players in one class is an impressive haul.

As much as I would love to claim otherwise I have to agree with Sun. Three quality starters in one draft is a great draft even if the other 4 are crap

If Lamar Miller is going in the first round, that tells me there wasn't much meat in 2012.

Not to knock him, but in my eyes, Miller hasn't shown anything that makes him worthy of a first-round pick.  He has been a decent role-player.

He rushed for 1,100 yards last year and had the 2nd highest YPC in the NFL. Not a coincidence that this was the first season that the Line got it's shit together before injuries.

I guess 1st round is debatable since he is a running back, but he's more than a role player.

I'd rate Lamar Miller as a top-10 RB in the NFL right now, so that makes him worthy of a first round grade, imo...
