Tedd Ginn, Jr.?

12thMan · 04-30-2007, 10:53 AM

Did I miss the thread on this one? I'm sure it's been talked about how the Dolphins blew this one.

I almost spilled my beer when I heard the pick though.

There's news today that he might not even be ready for the start of training camp. He's walking around in a boot right now.

Horrible reach by the Dolphins, I really don't get it.

My buddy who is a big Dolphins fan was majorly bummed when they passed up Quinn.

I'm going to have to change my mind on this one. I don't think Miami should have taken Quinn. But this injury to Ginn is alot more serious than I thought. I just thought he had a minor little foot sprain. I heard this am that this thing may never heal properly. Not good for a guy that depends on speed. So we shall see. Sucks the guy got hurt after he scored a TD.

If the Dolphins misdiagnosed Ginn's injury, just like they did last year with Culpepper and Brees then heads should roll there

All the better for us on opening day!

12thMan · 04-30-2007, 11:08 AM

...unless he turns out to be Devon Hester, the pick makes no sense.

ArtMonkDrillz · 04-30-2007, 11:08 AM

Here are the pre- and post-Dolphin's selection text messages that my co-worker, a 'Fins fan, sent me on Saturday:

Pre-pick: Quinn might fall to Miami!!!

Post-pick: Ted Ginn?!?! No football for me this year

Today he said he wasn't all that pissed about not getting Quinn because he likes Beck but he's SO bitter that they didn't get some help for their aging defense.

The local stations are BLASTING the pick. It's actually quite entertaining when the assualt is NOT directed to the Skins.
Ahhh........the sweet smell of good first round pick!

hooskins · 04-30-2007, 11:53 AM

yeah seriously that was the "WTF" pick of the draft.

GridIron26 · 04-30-2007, 11:54 AM

Dolphins needed another Wes Welker and Ginn matches that position.. But a completely wasted 1st rd pick tho..

CanadianSkin · 04-30-2007, 11:57 AM

I made fun of my friend who is a huge Fins fan when they picked Ginn.. he was so happy when he saw Quinn dropped to them. Who selects a punt returner in the first round.

GTripp0012 · 04-30-2007, 12:12 PM

I can understand why they did it...because they had John Beck so highly rated.

I just, like everyone else on this board and elsewhere, think they are stupid for doing it. If they had taken a stud at another position like Okoye, and then Beck in the second, I would give them a pass. But this might very well end up being a wasted draft pick.

Essentially, Ginn's potential is that he replaces Wes Welker seamlessly. A man who they got a second round pick for...yeah.

Do you honestly think Okoye is NFL ready at 19?

12thMan · 04-30-2007, 12:16 PM

Still, there at least 6 players they could have taken before Ginn.

That being said, what a slap in the face for Quinn.

hooskins · 04-30-2007, 12:24 PM

They will regret this pick no matter what.

Let's say he is like Hester. Even then, why not take a chance for a QB that will lead your team to SBs? A returner alone cannot do that. I mean he could be a decent receiver too, but 9th pick? There were a million other good defensive players out there they should have gotten.
