The Miami Dolphins have a history of repeating mistakes, particularly in drafting cornerbacks. Observing Jaylen Waddle's open play during practice sparked reflections on past players like Jason Allen, Jamar Taylor, and Will Davis, who similarly struggled in their rookie years. Current 2023 draftee Cam Smith showed concerning signs of injury, leading to speculation about him becoming a "likely bust." The article emphasizes the franchise's trend of investing early draft picks in players who fail to meet expectations, mirroring past shortcomings in roster selection.
As I watched Cam Smith, a 2023 second-round pick limp back to the sidelines with his right hand on his hamstring and his left hand on the air asking to be subbed out of Tuesday's action once Waddle reached the end zone, I came to terms with Smith being put on the "likely bust" pile.
Taylor and Davis, who were in the same 2013 draft class, were each thrown into the deep end of the pool and struggled, showing that the role they were asked to fill was too big for their talent level.
