Ronnie Brown >  Aaron Rodgers

Yeah but to be fair, there were also 22 other guys drafted ahead of Rodgers. I can't blame Miami for doing that...or not doing it as it were. -EK

There's also a good chance Aaron Rogers may not have been "all that" without spending all that time with Green Bay before he started playing.  I've often wondered if that kept him from being another Kyle Boller.

I can fault the Dolphins for many draft errors in recent years, but picking Ronnie Brown over Rogers is not one.  He was better than Cadillac for sure, and RB was one of the clear needs of that team entering the draft.

Then the overwhelming majority of #2s are busts.

I agree with Spider.  Ronnie Brown wasn't a bust.  He underachived given his draft position but still was a very good player.  I hold the same view of L. Maroney of NE, didn't do as much as I hoped given that he was drafted but still brought quite a bit to the team.  A player drafted in the first round that in hindsight should have been drafted in round 2 is not a bust.  Would anyone been unhappy with Brown if he was the 34th pick overall?

I'm on the skeptical RT list too. I think he'll be no better than Henne in the long-run and it'll be just one more of the monumental mistakes this franchise has been prone to make over the last 10+ years.

I always said to myself back in the Marino years, 'Enjoy this because it won't last forever' and I was right, but I never thought the Dolphins franchise could fall off this badly.
