TBH, I didn’t see a lot of him before we drafted him but heard all of the exciting comparisons.  But then seeing him in the brief time he played again before getting injured with us, I don’t have a ton of hope he’ll ever amount to anything.  Maybe it was a result of the initial injury, but to me, he looked very slow and heavy footed.

We used a fourth on Trevor Etienne so its sounds like we are hedging our (bad) bet.  If Brooks can play in '26, I guess we let Dowdle go and end up w/ a rb room of a 4th, 2nd, and 4th round picks, which seems like a lot of draft capital to me for the position.  This year's draft had rbs go in the first (1), second (2), 3rd (1), fourth (6), fifth (3), sixth (4), seventh (6).  I think the Dolphins will end up with a steal in Ollie Gordon in the sixth.

I mean he had 12 total touches.... not even enough to get in a rythem and that was spread over 3 games.

Hopefully, you’ll be taking this back next season. 

I mean most of us would be thrilled to see a reversal of fortune for the pick. But it seems to be a longshot right now. Furthermore the whole point of drafting RB's is to get the most production through their rookie contract. Which we have not done.

Don’t know how the front office could have foreseen a second ACL injury.

Fair, but thats why drafting a rb with a knee injury isnt often done. Its a risk. Even if the %s are only slightly higher, averaged over enough drafts, those decisions begin to work against you. The pick for a bumber of reasons, was a bad % decision.

I agree, but one thing not considered is the discounted draft position we were able to select Brooks with bc of the injury. He would’ve been a first round lock before the injury, so there is a lot of upside to the risk. Unfortunately, it bit us this time with a re-injury, but we weren’t in contention and Brooks might arrive when we are.

I would think the first one he was currently in the middle of recovering from would be an indicator of risk. And that's why you don't take that risk in the second round.

I would think the boatloads of football players who’ve recovered from ACL injuries would show a mitigated risk for a first round talent.

Doesn't matter. 31 other teams didn't draft an already seriously injured player in the second round. We did. So far we've wasted two years of his lower cost rookie contract. Either way it was a waste we can't afford. Is it the players fault? Of course not. But our FO has to use better judgment. It looks like they've learned something so that's at least a plus.

Didn’t 2 go in the first round? Pretty sure Hampton was a first. And I know there was at least 3 in the second. Harvey, Judkins, and Henderson

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
