Default Re: Dolphins fans check in

Just in case some Dolphin Fans don't realize it, "Stone Hands" Ginn was drafted by Miami with the ninth pick in the first round. In taking Ginn, the Dolphin's front office passed on Brady Quinn who dropped to the 22nd pick. Of course, he hasn't done anything in Cleveland but you will never know what might have been.

Anyway, I did some checking on some of the other players drafted in 2007. Do any of you recognize these names?

Patrick Willis - 49ers
Marshawn Lynch - bills
Darrell Revis - Jets
Michael Griffin - Titans
Jon Bason - Panthers

They are all first round picks drafted after Ginn who have already made it to the Pro Bowl.

Some other notable players drafted after Ginn:

Zak DeOssie - Giants - 4th round, Pro Bowler
LeRon McClain - Ravens - 4th round, Pro Bowler

Dwayne Bowe - KC 1st round
Brandon Meriweather - Pats 1st round
Robert Meachen - Saints - 1st round
Tony Gonzales - Colts - 1st round

Pierre Thomas - Saints - signed as an undrafted free agent.

Makes you sort of glad the Dolphins front office knows how to evaluate talent.
