The most disappointing 2009 draft picks are starting to get their walking papers.
Jeff Darlington of the Miami Herald reports that Dolphins wide receiver Patrick Turner has been informed of his release. The third-round pick was cut despite Greg Camarillo’s trade to Minnesota.
We followed Turner’s progress through the offseason, and most of it wasn’t pretty. Showing once again how tough to evaluate draft prospects are, Darlington reports that undrafted rookies Marlon Moore and Roberto Wallace made the team over Turner.
pat white is going to the yankies, and will win a world series
What round did he come from? What school?
Both UDFA Roberto Wallace and Marlon Moore played better than him, Turner is trash
Nice. Moore and wallace gonna see more playing time. I’m all for that. Hartline in the 4th eases the pain of taking this jerkoff in the 3rd. Bess had 4th most catches in dolphins history last year (76). I like this group
3rd round USC, Hartlinbe was drafted in the next round and is much much better.
Turner would make a better TE than WR.
Turner – R3, USC I think
He looked like he could have been good…oh well. No surprise here, his routes were sloppy and he catches 50% of the easy ones. He had good size but he just didnt seem to want to play
There is a God after all…
Because this year’s draft was the best in years, teams can afford to dump last years non- performers.
There’s a lot of regimes out there that would keep players almost out of ego,–Tavaris Jackson comes to mind, but I’m glad Miami’s regime know when to move on.
I’m a big fan of the underdog, so I think it’s awesome that a player (or players) get rewarded for their hard work and not just because of their draft spot–undrafted FA–Roberto Wallace and Marlon Moore. Davonne Bess is another great example–a guy that went undrafted, yet out performed players that year that were drafted very high. Also, see Wes Welker–one of the absolute great undrafted free agents.
A USC wide receiver was cut? You don’t say!
Please tell me they cut Pat White
It’s okay Pat, you can always join Petey (Pete Carroll) in the home of Starbucks Coffee!!!
maybe Turner can join his ex teammate Mike Williams or his ex teammate Jarrett in Carolina.
