Or spending three first round draft choices in four years (2002 - 2005) on running backs. Or spending five second round draft choices in six years (2004 - 2009) on quarterbacks, only one who lasted longer than two years

If the goal is Lawrence, then you can "go wild" this year and try to win every game, knowing that your absolute ceiling is 5 wins, and more than likely 3 wins as you say. The 2020 draft would be used to rebuild the entire o line, as well as adding a premium skill position player. But in the 2020...

There are ways to ensure that you fortify your roster and still go 0-16. #1) Find the worst "plausible" free agent quarterback that there is. Someone with a proven track record of interceptions #2) Run a very conservative, three yards and a cloud of dust offense. Don't take chances. Or if you...

I look at it this way...and I could be wrong. Miami can get three offensive linemen in Rounds 1 and 2 next year, but without a competent quarterback they won't win. And here's where you are right - Rosen and Fitzpatrick are certainly better than Kessler and Kizer. If Miami wants to guarantee a...

No, I think a best case scenario is 1 win, and the worst and likely case is 0-16. If they pass on Tua next year as I think they will, they probably finish with no more than 3 wins over the next two years. If you follow Cleveland’s blueprint to rebuild the franchise, don’t be surprised if you get...

Makes me wonder....have the Dolphins considered a trade of Josh Rosen to the Colts?

True, and I would have liked them to keep him. I do like the idea of the extra picks though. You don't have to have any greater success rate than the average NFL team. Let's presume 3 out of 7 draft choices work out. If you have 14 draft selections each year like the Dolphins probably will in...

Only risk is the NFL labor negotiations. Not certain if the 2021 draft gets postponed if there is a lockout.

I wonder if Miami will trade Minkah Fitzpatrick?

Of course. I wish they had kept him. That said, Miami is in great position to pull a Browns and trade down from that Number 1 overall pick next year. In 2016, Cleveland traded the number two overall pick for two first rounders, a second rounder, and a third rounder. A year later, Cleveland...

I'd say Jamal Fletcher (when you had Pro Bowl CBs Sam Madison and Patrick Surtain) over Drew Brees was equally as wretched in 2001.

Agreed. Why draft a franchise QB if you have no offensive line? At minimum, you have to wait another year to draft a QB while you take steps to rebuild the line. Miami may have to wait until 2022 before they pull the tigger on that. The Dolphins are basically an expansion franchise now, and it...

This trade makes me think that 2020's draft will not be about selecting Tua, but completely rebuilding the offensive line and perhaps acquiring a top wide receiver. I think what Miami is doing is mimicking what the Browns did...acquire numerous draft choices but wait until the very end to pull...
