I don't cringe at all.
There will be a need to move up...that is the cost of winning games, I don't have a issue with the Dolphins winning games, I differ from some in that respect, but I think the Dolphins winning and showing towards the end of the season is why Tua is more OK with going to the phins then other teams.
The price will be high because the move up is for a QB that is liked by a lot of people. Tua is not only the most talented passer, he is also a person people will gravitate towards. He will easily become the face of the franchise...people just love the kid as a person.
What would I be willing to give up...all there first this year and 1 next year...I'd still do it. One it doesn't sacrifice the future of the franchise as we will still have all the "regular picks" only giving up the extra we got for Tunsil and Minkah. Two, we still have a ton of extra picks, granted they are not those late firsts anymore, but we saw this staff get competent play out of dudes undrafted, I would expect them to get above-average play out of draftable players, even if those players are mid-round picks. Three, QB is easily worth 4 players, an unknown QB is easily worth 4 unknown players we could draft.
I understand the desire to keep as many picks as possible, and I don't disagree, but as I have argued before, a late first position player is going to do little to move this forward if the QB position is "settled" by a guy we kinda like.
Teams that go on to compete and have the chance to experience greatness, are the ones who make bold moves...having the front office play to win, instead of playing not to lose would be a nice change.
I still believe the organization acquired all these pick just so they can have the ammo to outbid anyone if they were in a situation to move up.
