As March comes to a close it's less than a month until the draft. This is how I see it going. When Miami picks at #11 gone off the board are the 4 top Qbs, Barkley, Nelson, Chubb, James, R. Smith and Fitz.

Tremaine Edwards, Vita Vea, Maurice Hurst DT, Michigan, Harold Landry, Denzel Ward, Lamar Jackson, DeRon Payne, Calvin Ridley and Josh Jackson CB Iowa remain on the board.

Dolphins narrow it to Vea or Edwards- who helps the team in a bigger way, faster? Both guys are great players and either pick is a win for the Dolphins.

Dolphins pick- Vita Vea- watch some tape of this mountain/ monster of a human. This guys is so powerful it's crazy. He upgrades big time day one. If he's anything like a Vince Wilfork was for the Pats he'll be an amazing pick.
 
That would sure work for me! I think when we look back in 2-3 years some of these QB's are going to be busts that were majorly over drafted. Teams will wish they snagged a Fitz instead but that's always the case. It's the only way to find your Franchise QB. There will be failures but there will be hits. I wonder if Mason Rudolph will be there at #42? If not, grab your TE!!!!!!! and pick up a guy like Mike White or Lauletta in the third.
 
I kinda agree at this point DT first round, TE 2nd, LB 3rd, 4th RB, 4th QB or FS, 6th kicker. Holes filled kinda barring no injuries, we hit on every draft pick. Yea ha ha ha ha ha

I would be happy with Vita Vea, Minkah, Derwin, or Tremaine. If any of those guys can fulfill their potential they will be fixtures on our defense for a very long time. You're talking about All-Pro potential. The only guy that can offer you that on offense is Quenton Nelson.

Since the FO cut up the team so hard it should be easy to go in any which direction. Maybe they'll manage to trade down and still get one.
 
In your scenario, I'd take Edwards. Or if we can do a small trade back and get LVE that would be solid too.

1- James/Fitzpatrick/Edwards/Smith - 11 (or if trading - LVE)
2- Goedert/Gesicki

thats how I want the first two days to go. After that, ideally we could wait until the 4th for our developmental qb but I think we have to burn our third there probably. If we don't get a top LB or S in the first round, maybe the third round we can nab someone. Or in the 2nd? and grab a TE in the third, Ian Thomas?

4th round- RB/DT/OL after that, bpa where ever. Kicker in late 6 or round 7.
 
It’s funny, take a look at all the mocks, a lot of the players that have been mentioned we would like at 11 have been picked at or after 11.

I agree with circumstances though - in almost all of them Fitz is gone before 11.
 
At this moment I feel like TannenGrier will trade back, because "We have many needs."

Not sure if it was an over zealous auto correct or not but his name is Tremaine Edmunds not Edwards.

I agree with you on Vea though, the more I watch him the more I like him. I am just slightly concerned about someone that size holding up in the Miami heat though.
 
I would be okay with Vea, but does anyone else share the concern that he could be neutralized like Suh was? If so, why use a high pick on a DT when this draft is loaded with guys in the mid to later rounds? Besides, aren't we looking for a rotational player to share snaps with the 3 DTs we have? I like Suh as much as anyone, but the guy played a lot of snaps. Rotating our guys might keep them fresh for late in the game.
