Active Roster
We should hire Dorsey then end of this season. He would LOVE to have the draft capital we have even more than what he inherited at the Browns.
You keep making assertions about my opinions. It's not an opinion, it's an empirical fact. What you have is an opinion grounded in absolutely nothing but media hype. The Browns are not good. Mayfield is not good. Did you watch him last night? He.struggled against the fu$#ing Jets' defense that didn't even have Mosley, Avery or Q Will in the lineup!
Dorsey's rep in KC was made with Ty Hill and Kareem Hunt. Defense was a mess when he left. He can't draft OL and while he gets no blame for Hue Jackson, he sure does for Freddie Kitchens.
The Scouting department is the one that scares me that whole department needs to be replaced3 1st round picks right now? We better hire the best scouts possible.
There's still Parker and Drake to be traded. Probably a 3rd, and 5th.
Are you sure about that? They look like a middle of the road team that may scrape into the playoffs and be out in the wild card round to me. Just like we used to be!
We will become the Browns 2.0. Lot's of first rounders, some big name FA's but ultimately not a team to challenge the top. I find this whole process absolutely desperate.
What makes you think our results won't be?We were doing that before any rebuild. They seem to be doing it after many years of rebuilding. Huge difference. What in the world makes you think our results are going to be anything like theirs?
Mostly agree. Free agency is not where I'd usually like the team to spend big. However, Miami has a unique opportunity. They can spend big in free agency without affecting contracts of young players from the 2019, 2020 and 2021 drafts. By the time those players need to be paid (hopefully enough good players to pay), those free agent contracts will be up.The Browns are an ascending team. They have a dynamic, exciting QB, they're building around him and they are on their way up. They have a bunch a big time pieces on offense that will get better and better. This is almost exactly what we need to do. In the draft we snag Tua. Tua and Rosen battle it out for the starting position with a high quality back up waiting in the wings. The Browns went for some crazy FA contracts. This is where we should differ from Cleveland. Let be SMART in FA and bring in bargain players who are healthy and under 30. No me players, only team players and certainly no prima donnas. The Patriots have success with the guys like Moss and Gordon but AB blew up in their faces. I say stay far away from these high talent, high problem players if I'm Miami. Build with intelligent, high character guys and you'll never be embarrassed.
Spot on. Exactly why Miami did what it did. They'll find the right players by moving around the draft board. It's possible by the 2021 Miami is fighting for playoff contention? Maybe sooner if the sign they right F/A in 2020. If Miami is able to sign 2-3 quality, starting caliber F/A and is able to draft 5 - 6 starters over the next 2 drafts, Miami could be back in business.It's about getting the types of players the new staff likes.
The team was littered with players Adam Gase liked and thought would fit HIS system and ideals (Grier and Tannebaum selected players that fit what the former coach had in mind).
Instead of doing a gradual changeover, they are speeding up the process by getting value for some of their more talented players. Players that they might have been able to work with, but that weren't perfect fits for them.
I don't believe Minkah was part of that plan, initially, but his public outcry made him part of the plan. I don't even believe Tunsil was part of the plan either, but during their pursuit of Clowney they discovered a Texans franchise that just simply had to have him and were willing to overpay. Kenny Stills was an already disgruntled player that simply helped facilitate the deal. Win-Win.
While it would have been nice to keep a couple talents like Minkah and Tunsil, the potential return could be much greater.
I don't, but to think our results are going to mirror another organization's (with no evidence to support that line of thought) seems far less likely than an outcome nobody can predict.What makes you think our results won't be?
What makes anybody think Grier will do well enough in the draft to change the Dolphins fortunes? He put this roster together and it's not even competitive. It's like a semi-pro football team playing against real professional players on Sunday. Do you think the rash of injuries on the O-line are bad luck or just guys trying to overcompensate for their lack of talent and end up getting injured? Do you think any of these players are developing given they're so overmatched and have no veteran leadership to learn from?
Even if Grier hits on most of these picks we may end up at 8-8, right where we started. I'm not convinced this plan moves the needle at all.
