It's so sad it really isn't funny any more. I have to try hard not to feel sorry for the Dolphins. (Shula helps me out)
Small excerpt:
Wide out Yatil Green, the 15th pick in 1997, caught 18 passes in his life.
Tailback John Avery, a first-round pick in 1998, lasted 1 ½ years before the Dolphins gave up on him.
Tailback J.J. Johnson, a second-round pick in 1999, started five games, recorded a 3.4 rushing average and was out of the league by 2002.
Cornerback Jamar Fletcher, a first-round pick in 2001, started six games in three years before drifting to the Chargers, Lions and Texans.
Offensive linemen Taylor Whitley and Wade Smith, third-round picks in 2003, were both gone by 2005.
Linebacker Eddie Moore, a second-round pick in 2004, started three games, was constantly hurt, and was out of football by 2006.
Defensive end Matt Roth, a second-round pick in 2005, has 6 ½ career sacks.
Wade Smith rings a bell. Was he part of a Pats-Phins trade?
