Ryder, was Bucky Irving the RB you would have drafted instead of Jaylen Wright? Was Bucky a prospect that was said to have fallen in the draft too? I know Wright was. From what I read, he was projected to go in the 3rd round. I can't fault Grier too much for taking out a flier on him. It's why I would have wanted to trade down that 1st round pick and hopefully get a low 3rd or high 4th. Sucked that the Steelers not only once but TWICE, picked players one ahead of the Dolphins, that I wanted.... 1st round: Troy Fautanu, OT. 4th Round: Mason McCormick, Guard.
If he could run a 40-yard dash under 4.4, I would compare him to Barry Sanders. He's definitely got the burst & change of direction.

I liked Irving a lot but Wright was the better fit for the dolphins schematically.
