Dolphins hire GM Dennis Hickey:  F Grade
Dennis Hickey was with the Buccaneers beforehand, so I'll let Charlie Campbell handle the write-up for this grade:

Sources with the Buccaneers told WalterFootball.com that internally, many staff members expected director of player personnel Dennis Hickey to be let go after the draft. Many around the league and with the Buccaneers were surprised that Hickey wasn't fired with former general manager Mark Dominik and head coach Greg Schiano. Hickey took over running the Bucs drafts in 2006, and their poor performance in the drafts played a huge role in the Bucs' 28-52 record over the past five seasons. Sources with the Buccaneers said that Hickey's future would be up to the new general manager to decide, but many staffers didn't believe he'd survive the post-draft turnover in scouting departments.

Some sources found it laughable that Hickey was interviewed for the Dolphins general manager position and believe that was further proof that Miami owner Stephen Ross doesn't know what he's doing. Some in the league view Hickey as a coach and general-manager killer. In the scouting community, Hickey has the reputation of making a lot of poor evaluations that have led to a plethora of busted picks for Tampa Bay. Making matters worse, Hickey has terrible people skills; some of the Buccaneers' top scouts left the team because they didn't like working with him. The Patriots, Jets and Bills just got a gift.

They should take Boyd in the 1st and start grooming him for the job.

I can only hope he's related to Mike Hickey, our former personnel guy who fucked up countless drafts back in the 80s when there was no other way to acquire players.

That can't be real... it just can't. We can't possibly be that lucky that they would fuckup so bad...

. Like I said, no matter how much fail, they will beat us once.

I think I remember MB saying that the Dolphins were quietly irrelevant for over a decade without their name ever coming up as a poorly run franchise. Instead the media wants to focus on the Jets. Unreal.

LOL unfortunately this is true. We haven't swept them since their 1-15 season in 2007.
