Active Roster
This is me admitting that I was wrong. I was in denial that my beloved Dolphins, a team that I've cheered for since I was a kid, would purposely "tank" so that they could set themselves up in better draft position this next year (or two). I was naive. I tried to justify all these moves and insisted that it was not a "tank" but rather a "rebuild." Call it what you want, but this is absolutely a tank. This last trade with the Steelers was the final straw for me. It is disappointing for me that the team doesn't seem to care about winning games this year, but at the same time I'm starting to buy into the plan.
I'm not going to quit watching this team play on Sunday's, I'm just going to take the loss's much easier. Rooting against the Steelers and the Texans (and possibly the Saints) is also going to make Sunday's a little bit more exciting.
As painful as this season is going to be, these next couple of drafts are going to be a blast to watch and analyze, and I have a lot of hope about the future of this franchise.
Regarding this current team, which players do you think have potential to stick on the starting lineup the next couple of years? I know a lot of people are saying get rid of everybody (except maybe X) and start over, but that isn't really feasible. I think the team could keep Jerome Baker, Michael Deiter, Sam Eguavoen, Mike Gesicki, Davon Godchaux, Xavien Howard, Jason Sanders, Christian Wilkins, Preston Williams, and Albert Wilson as possible starters and players like Kalen Ballage, Vince Biegel, Jonathan Ledbetter, Andrew Van Ginkel, Chandler Cox, Jesse Davis, Jakeem Grant, Charles Harris, John Jenkins, Patrick Laird, Bobby McCain, Raekwon McMillian, Durham Smythe, Julien Davenport, and Josh Rosen staying on as depth. Other young players currently on this roster may develop and be worth keeping around as well, but that gives us about 30 open roster spots that we can fill via the draft and free agency. Another thing to keep in mind is that some of these players may be better than they look on Sundays, as it's difficult to shine when everybody around you is hot garbage.
April can't get here soon enough! Go Fins!
