Jtbrolly/Miami Dolphins. Daily Dolphin. Success in the NFL Draft can make or break a NFL team, and no draft class was less productive in 2013 than the Dolphins. An analysis by The Palm Beach Post shows that the Dolphins draft picks combined for just 866 snaps this year. They were the only team in the NFL that didn’t get more than 1,000 snaps from their rookies. Buffalo linebacker Kiko Alonso himself — a second round pick — was in on every one of Buffalo’s 1,177 defensive snaps. NFL draft classes averaged 2,112 snaps this year. Check out Wednesday’s Palm Beach Post for an article breaking down Miami’s rookie class.
