    Indy Star reported on Dec. 15 that #Dolphins don't receive #Colts 6th round pick because Vontae Davis didn't play enough in 2012

    I just don't get folks arguments that he could have helped us when he couldn't even play enough to meet a comp pick requirement.

    He played 606 snaps on defense. I wonder what the parameters were for the 6th.

    Wait a sec...It's not really a "coupla" picks? Just another little dingle berry in the **** sandwich that is Jeff Ireland's tenure as Miami Dolphins GM.

    you win the 2012 broken record of the year award. :deadhorse: it comes with a ribbon for same tired old crap award. and it's not because I'm pro or anti-Ireland, it's because it's all you spew anymore

    Usually comp picks are around 60-75% of snaps. Sometimes higher.

    That's why you don't do that kind of deal. Its for picks straight up or no deal. Ireland stupidity strikes again and it costs the Dolphins.

    Tom Brady was a 6th.......you never know what you find there.

    Who said I was livid ? I have come to accept incompetence with Ireland, so I am not really surpised.

    Dude lay off the coffee......what an extreme post. Chill.

    Well, it does suck that we don't get that extra pick. VD didn't meet the conditional requirements due to injury not because he wasn't worth the extra 6th rounder. I'm just assuming the conditions had something to do with games started/played and not making the pro bowl. It's a pretty fair assumption.

    Davis played in 56% of their defensive snaps.

    Yah that usually doesn't cut it for that position. I'm surprised though that there wasn't a pick anyways. Usually conditional picks have a lower pick if they don't qualify and a higher pick if they do. He couldn't have still swung a 7th if he failed to meet the conditions?

    I'm no fan of Irish, but I actually considered a sarcastic quip (not serious) about Brady having been a sixth, but then I thought: "Nah. Too far out" and didn't post it. So much for restraint. ;-)

    Seriously, now; and again, I am no fan of Ireland, but how was he supposed to know Vontae was going to get hurt, so that he couldn't play the requisite number of snaps? Isn't this more of an act of God?

    well damn it we needed that extra pick as much as Jimmy Johnson needs hair spray .

    I sure hope we get some compensation draft picks or i will personally come to Miami and put a knot on someone's head .
