So I'm listening to TheDraftNetwork's Podcast, and they are doing the 1st half of their on air mock and they had a crazy scenario for the Dolphins.

The draft went

1. Burrow
2. Young
3. Okudah
4. Thomas

We took Tua at 5

6. Wills

At this point we traded 18, 39 and Houston's 1st next year (they came back from break and said the fair trade didn't include Houston's 1st so they made it our 2nd) to move up to 7 and take Isaiah Simmons.


Thoughts?
 
I am at a point, that unless you show something better for Miami (Not much I could classify as better, other then a healthy Tua... only Burrow or young might be it), as long as I see Tua at 5, I find that to be a good beginning.

Tua at 5 is good. I love Simmons but we simply have too many holes to fill. Not a fan of that trade up.

I hope we don't do anything that dumb. Tua at 5 is great. Not get him some OL and weapons. Instead they want to trade the farm for a defense guy? Great talent but not the way to build your team. You need to build the offense first while adding to the defense. A great offense and you're always in the game.

Agreed, better to keep the picks, and end up with a pass-rushing DE, and a quality Corner and/or Safety with those picks.

That's a lot of jack to get back to #7. It's also not consistent with anything near what the value of 7 is on the value chart. #7 has a 1500 point value. If next year's 1st is say 15, we're giving up 2460 for a 1500 point pick? I know the chart is intended to be the start of talks but that's massively overpaying to do that. Simmons is good but you can probably get there IF you want to by just offering up the 18, 39 and a 5th.

That's a nice draft, but I think Winfield goes a lot higher. I think Taylor could make it to that #26 spot, but definitely would be excited if Miami got a running back of that caliber. I like Espenesa a lot, but his combine will hurt him a little. I think he could be there at the end of round 1, where you are projecting.

The nice thing about having all that draft capital is that Miami could make a move like that and still have enough picks to continue to make a difference. I love Simmons so I'd be down with that.
 
I have 4 guys that would be incredible at #5...

Burrow
Tua
Young
Simmons

My biggest worry is that those are the top 4 picks.
 
I wouldn’t give that much up for Simmons. As talented as he is that’s a lot of holes that could be filled with other really good starting players (if drafted well).

If I’m giving up that kind of draft capital I need a franchise QB or high value position that are hard to come by like pass rush. If we’re talking Derrick Brown.....let’s sit and discuss.
 
I would not give up that much for a LB.

And the Fins certainly can't afford to spend that many picks on one, considering how weak the roster is.

If they moved up for Wills to protect Tua's blindside i could get behind that.
 
Simmons is a FREAK. I love what he brings to the table. Kid is a straight up game changer. Could genuinely be the jack of all trades guy we've been looking for. With that being said, I can't imagine giving up that specific compensation to move up to 7. Just too much to sacrifice, I've been anti-trade up for quite sometime. So there is some bias there.....
 
If you landed Tua at 5 and Wills is gone Wirfs would be the player you traded up to get.

Protect your QB
