My opinion, not crying about it.. Am I upset with the way this rebuild has gone, absolutely.
You talk about no running game, a line that is one of the worst in the league and no weapons other than Waddle and how that one weapon is better than a tackle THIS SEASON?
That to me doesn’t sound like a team that if they make the playoffs will be able to compete with the best teams in the league. So I could care less if Waddle breaks the rookie record for completions or that he helps the Dolphins squeak into the playoffs, only to lose like the Dolphins did in Pittsburgh years ago.
This was sold to the fan base as a rebuild, which takes time to build. When you go get a Qb early in the rebuild you want to protect him first and foremost so that you can properly evaluate him. If the Qb can’t use the whole field because the line cannot block for him then that is a failure by the front office. It is a reason why Waddle is a ball magnet this season.
The Dolphins will have to spend at least $30 million of their salary cap next year just to get 2 older tackles because the ones Grier drafted aren’t NFL tackles.
Slater is a pro bowl tackle in his rookie year and in my opinion, a generational LT which we could have had at the 12th pick and also retained an additional 1st in next years draft. That 2 me (my opinion) is better value for a team that isn’t there yet in regards to playoff caliber. I’d much rather have a cheap all pro LT on a rookie contract than Waddle. You have seen in just the past few or so drafts Jefferson, Higgins and Moore go in the second round and they are very good receivers. There was no need to wast a future 1st round draft pick to select someone they really wanted if the team has so many current holes? Not a smart front office move in my opinion.
The wasted picks he has used to try to acquire tackles early in the draft these last 2 seasons is deplorable. 3 players in the first 2 rounds and an additional pick to get Eich this year. These guys are all guards, not one tackle, no? Failure again by Grier. But hey we have a shiny new toy in Waddle who we can’t use fully because we have no running game and no line for him to get deep to take the top off?
When you have a game as you say I’m playing where you could go back and forth with generational LT or as you say elite Wr, that means there are plenty of holes and when there are plenty of holes you don’t as a team trade up for players you want while at the same time lose valuable assets like early draft picks.
These are my opinions, which on a message board I’m entitled too, no? You may not agree with me but that’s ok, I won’t take it personally.
