1995 was the final year of Don Shula. His final draft is considered to be one of the worst in Dolphins history.

Shula used his first two picks on offensive lineman hoping to find the same success he had with Webb and Simms. Unfortunately neither player succeeded.

First round pick Billy Milner lasted one full season and part of another before he was gone. Andrew Green lasted one season. No player from the 1995 draft class lasted in Miami longer than Millner.

The best player from the draft class may very well have been DT Norman Hand who spent nine seasons in the NFL. Most of the early releases can be attributed to the change at head coach. Jimmy Johnson wanted to get rid of the players that Shula drafted in favor of his own but neither Milner or Green lasted long in the NFL. Milner was out of the league in three years and Greene was out in two.

Who was the best? 

No one.
