As much as I would love to see us go zone scheme, I don’t think our line really suggests that. Not many fleet of foot among our current offensive line
Dolphins are signing veteran OL D.J. Fluker

I see these "1 year prove it" deals not only as depth or hole filling, but insurance that we have an option at some weaker positions in case the player & position we want to draft for is not available. I feel this is a long term strategy that we will continue to see with the current FO.
If another player at another, more desirable, "position of need" becomes available at our draft spot, then we are also in a position to move in on them instead of our original projected player. This is because of the FA's we just hired, who will be able to provide a little more capability at some of our weaker positions is in place, if we don't use a higher level draft pick for one of those positions.
This is why I like the idea of picking up some basic FA's at the lowest cost possible.
In the end we will have 53 players and a practice squad that should not be so dependent on a single player to win if an injury or two will knock us out of the game.

Average player pff grades him no better or worse than any OL in our line.

More Bama Busts is just what we need.
Sure it does, it buys the team 1 more year to see if Hunt is a RT or a RG. DJ is already better than Flowers, and the line is immediately better with him at RG. If Hunt can't hold down RT, then DJ can slide out there, and they can address the position next year.
Matt Breida’s sad reps last year exposed just how bad this line was at outside zone, death sentence for him

I'm not saying he's great, but it puts to bed the thought of getting an OT early. I personally was in favor of Jenkins at 18, but I think that is gone now.

It may affect the draft in mid/low rounds
It's 2021, and people still take PFF ratings seriously? smh
