People can laugh now @ the Dolphins....but they are rocking it. Cleaning house...stock piling picks....saving cap money. By the time the Patriots/ Brady are done ...Miami should be just hitting their stride.
Okay couple of problems with this. So far they have traded:
Minkah Fitzpatrick for a first round pick: I would say *at best*, they'll land a prospect as good Fitzpatrick
Laremy Tunsil+Kenny Stills for 2 first round picks and a 3rd (2020) and 2nd (2021): This is an impressive haul. Kenny Stills is pretty pedestrian, so you should be able to upgrade him with a mid round pick. But you aren't likely to get a better prospect than Tunsil with any of the first rounders you got. You are still up 2 or so draft picks, but look at their draft record. They hit on Fitzpatrick, and more or less missed on the rest of that class. Gesicki is a miss, 3rd round pick Baker is pedestrian, and the rest or less than that. 2017 was a miss...on like all of their picks. In 2016 they hit on Tunsil, who honestly fell in their lap and Xavier Howard (who they'll lose for nothing if they don't trade him) but the rest will more or less be gone after this offseason. I literally think the only person they have from prior to 2016 is DeVante Parker, and he's a bust in the final year from his rookie deal. Everyone else, gone.
