09:02 AM ET 04.01 | The Dolphins will check out Miami draft prospects on Wednesday and Thursday, which reminds us that they have selected only two Hurricanes in the past 20 drafts (Yatil Green in 1997 and Vernon Carey in 2004). "It's mind-boggling," Ed Reed said at UM's Hall of Fame inductions Thursday. "We're right here!" Bryant McKinnie said. "You would think they would know us better than anybody." The Dolphins insist they have no objection to drafting UM players, and they are believed to like a few departing Canes, including receiver Tommy Streeter. McKinnie said he, Reed and Jeremy Shockey used to talk about finishing their careers with the Dolphins, "but the Dolphins wouldn't do that." Reggie Wayne would have considered the Dolphins last month, "but it didn't seem like they wanted me."

Reed and McKinnie should not take it personally. It is not just very good players from their alma mater that the Dolphins are leery of, it is good players from any school come draft day.

The Dolphins very easily could have made a move for Manning and Wayne and significantly changed their prospects for this year. But they didn't. Get ready for more mediocrity.

It appears that players in free agency are leery of going to Miami. That should be the article written. there is an obvious trend here.

Just flies in the face of players 'taking their talents to S. Beach'. HAH! Apparently this idea does not work on the gridiron.

Is it the owner? The GM? The facility? The head coaching revolving door? .... Players talk to each other throughout the League. It is a Fraternity.....

Maybe it is simply a case of " Real Men don't Wear Teal?"

I honestly can't remember when the last time was the Dophins were relevant and I'm not going to spend time looking it up.

It was their wildcat year. Then they blew it by drafting Pat White, and the rest of the league caught up with how to defend against them. Oh yeah, and somewhere along the way they traded Wes Welker.

A case of the opponent knowing more about the other team's talent.

That's what recruiting violations and NCAA sanctions get you.
