Without going into too much detail on Chase's DTBC article, Miami is ranked 22 in the projections for 2006. In other words, Chase/FBG is predicting that Miami will be in the bottom third.
Let's say for the sake of argument that the rankings shake out exactly as predicted. The article leaves me with two doubts:
1) Miami has been a highly regarded defense over the past several years. The ADP bears this out (currently around 15th defense taken). If you want Miami, you're taking them about seven slots too early for their projected value. That seems like overpaying for a team projected lower than some of the "lowly" defenses you can get much later.
2) Given the positive statements made about the Miami D in the article, it seems like Miami should be ranked somewhere around 15 anyway.
So I guess I'm looking for individual takes from those going DTBC. I'll poke around and come up with my own 2 cents also.
P.S. I looked for discussion on this, but the search didn't give me much and I manually scanned four pages back.
