By acquiring New England’s 2023 third-round pick, Miami is now scheduled to have two first-round picks, a second, and two third-round picks in next year’s draft.

Sorry for the language in the meme.
So the Dolphins got a 3rd round pick for Devante Parker yet the Cowboys only got a 5th for Amari Cooper. Hmmm

right. rookies wouldnt be getting a lot of playing time in 2022 with this roster. the team is even back over 20 million in cap space for more moves, if thats the idea.

at the same time, there is plenty of ammo to replace some expensive contracts with rookies in 2023 or maneuver around for a QB, if necessary.

We didn't trade Parker for a 3rd. We traded Parker and a 5th in 22 for a 3rd in 23. So kind of hard to compare our trade to the cow girls trade.
 
Best case scenario Tua plays incredibly well and we get to use those draft picks to fill out the roster around him with young players on rookie contracts.

Bad case scenario Tua plays awful and we have to use those draft picks to get another top pick QB.

Worst case scenario Tua plays mediocre, not good enough to declare him the answer not bad enough to move on from him, and we are unsure what to do with him at this point next year.

This narrative is getting so old. Why can’t it be to get the young QB and team even more talent?

It is getting old, but its not a bad option to have. Im a big Tua supporter, and expect he will be great this season, but at least there is a possible contingency plan. I, along with most I assume, just dont want to hear about it all off-season long, and god forbid during the season, if he was to have a bad game or two.

First interception he throws we will hear it.

It can be, but the success of this team hinges on how well Tua progresses, we know the rest of this team is talented. I think it's smart to have a backup plan, I guess you feel like it's Tua no matter what for the next 10 years?

It can be a very similar situation to the Rams Goff was holding them back, they made a move. Well see how this same narrative works for Broncos, they drafted Lock, didn't work out, made a move for a proven player and I suspect the Broncos will not regret that trade either.
