AFC draft picks that pose a problem for the Miami Dolphins

Finally, the Dolphins catch a break, the Patriots’ draft was a disaster:

Not much to say here besides laughing at Bill Belichick, I tried to look at their picks every which way to see if I was missing something, nope, the Patriots draft is awful.

This is a break the Dolphins heavily needed, the powerhouse that used to haunt the division is slowly fading away (for now). The Patriots’ upgrades moved the needle so little that I think the Jets might be scratching at their heels this season.

Cole Strange – Offensive line – Patriots:

Cole Strange is probably a great kid and we should all be happy his dream to play in the NFL has come true, but that doesn’t take away from the fact the Patriots made a colossal mistake drafting him instead of the other linemen that were still on the board like Tyler Linderbaum.

Maybe Strange turns into a pro bowler and makes me look like a moron.

But based on other questionable draft picks the Patriots have made like N’Keal Harry, I like my chances at betting against Strange.

Tyquan Thorton – Wide Receiver – Patriots:

If you’re not familiar with Tyquan Thorton that’s okay, he really began to stand out after the Combine, where he ran a 40-yard dash in 4.28 seconds. Before that Thorton had at best a 4th-5th grade.

After the combine, he was seen as a late 3rd maybe early 4th rounder, but the Patriots selected him at #50 overall.

Not Thorton’s fault to be selected so high, but now the expectation for him is way higher when his best trait is speed, sorry to break it to Belichick but speed doesn’t catch touchdowns.
