Yeah if I’m picking between G Rosseau and P. Sewell that’s a tough one for me. Both are athletic freaks I just don’t know which route I would go.. but wouldn’t it be amazing to get both?
It would be ridiculously awesome. It’s not impossible but not likely. There are ways it could happen though; We end up with the No.1 or No.2 pick and can trade down to 3, acquiring enough trade ammo to trade up with Houston’s first.
Right now I’d say Sewell is the betting favorite to be the first non QB selected. Justin Fields needs to have a monster season and I am not saying that as the huge Ohio State fan that I am. I am saying that as a significantly bigger Dolphins fan who wants to be in a position to help some other team acquire him at No.2, preferably with someone picking third.
Really the only other way it happens is if Deshaun Watson gets hurt. I like the kid too much to want to see that happen.
It’s fun to think about getting top talents but at the end of the day this team has added a lot of talent in one off season. It’s not to totally out of the realm of possibility we sniff a wild card. I wouldn’t bet on that though. I expect a night and day difference between the bare bones roster of last year and the team that’s been created now.
If I had to put money on where our two first will likely end up I’d say:
7th (our pick), 6-10 record.
19th (Houston’s pick), 9-7 record.
Can’t wait. I‘ve always dreamt of having the draft ammo we’ve recently possessed. I hope that continues. I’m trying my best to continue acquiring first round picks.
Edit: Damn now I’m in draft mode. Couldn’t resist doing a simulation on PFN.

Didn’t get the DE I wanted but the rest of the team is stacked. Tua would be a happy man if those first 4 picks came true. Wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the league.
