The Dolphins moved up the board (17 spots) to grab a running back (Daniel Thomas) who has been among the worst since he entered the league. He has averaged 3.59 yards per rush attempt, the lowest average for any back with as many carries (365) or more over the past three years.

It's not just whom the Dolphins drafted, but also whom they didn't draft. The Dolphins might kick themselves when they look back at the 2011 draft and find Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray selected nine picks later and Patriots running back Stevan Ridley selected two picks after that.
