2025 Ben Hanks Jr 4* CB from Booker T Commits to the Gator

Well I won't bring up the fact that the Phins in 2001 decided to take Jamar freaking Fletcher instead of Drew Brees. OOPS
I remember this! On draft day, I was expecting Miami to draft Brees. I could totally picture the next day's Miami Herald sports headline - Dolphins Catch A Brees. Instead they went with a luxury pick in Fletcher, and tried to justify it in saying, "The Colts have Peyton Manning and we need as many good cornerbacks on the field as possible."

After avoiding Brees (twice!), they then went and spent five second round draft choices in six years of quarterbacks. None of which were with the team more than two years, with one exception. The essential loss of five second round picks helped to gut the team.

2004: AJ Feeley (2nd rounder in trade)
2006: Dante Culpepper (2nd rounder in trade)
2007: John Beck (2nd round)
2008: Chad Henne (2nd round)
2009: Pat White (2nd round)
