The Dolphins need a lot of help at guard. Laremy Tunsil is poised to move to left guard, while Jermon Bushrod is in need of upgrading at the other spot. Zeitler is the top available player at the position, and the Dolphins should do everything they can to bring him in. He would be a huge upgrade for Miami and would not only help protect Ryan Tannehill, but also open up running lanes for their newfound stud at running back in Jay Ajayi. Larry Warford would be a good consolation prize.
 
Brothers here is another article I wanted to combine rather than start a new thread.

Trumaine Johnson
Cornerback, Los Angeles Rams

While Miami loses former defensive coordinator Vance Joseph to the Denver Broncos head coaching job, the Dolphins should be in good shape with Burke taking over the reigns from Joseph in running the defense for Gase.

That being said, Burke isn’t the defensive back coach that Joseph was. This means player development at that position group won’t come as easy as it did last season for the Dolphins. In short, Grier and Tannenbaum need to upgrade Burke’s secondary in free agency.

The one guy that Miami should swing for the fences in the back-end should be Los Angeles Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson. In 2016, the Rams franchise tagged Johnson for $13.2 million. The Rams may have really liked Johnson, but they will have a new coaching staff in 2017.

In all fairness, new Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips will probably like to keep Johnson as a key piece of his defense. The Rams could slap him with the franchise tag again, costing them a projected $14.3 million. However, the Rams can afford to pay him reasonably with a projected $38,985,625 for general manager Les Snead to work with.
 
I think most of them will be out of our price range-Brown could be a possibility..
 
I'd certainly open up the wallet for a guard. Outside of Pouncey who will either be gone or restructured next year, we have little money invested in this line.
 
must be a reason why Cincy would rather keep Whitworth than Zeitler. OG shouldn't cost a lot of money, just look at the Patriots. As for Brandon Williams? Too expensive. Zach Brown on the other hand, I'd be all for.

Why would Tunsil go to guard when Albert goes to Jaguars? Wouldn't Tunsil go to his natural position? Left tackle.
I thought the plan was for Tunsil to take Albert's spot at tackle.

Left tackle is more important than a guard

:hump:Sign Bengals G Kevin Zeitler and Kenny Stills first and then go after Eric Berry S from the Chiefs and Lawrence Timmons LB from Steelers. :D

Might be able to trade for Eric Berry or Richard Sherman before the draft.
 
Anyone think Mangold has anything left in tank? He was a beast.
