Dolphins to move Robert Hunt from tackle to guard, may draft a tackle in first round

The Dolphins' decision to trade starting guard Ereck Flowers may have demonstrated that they're committed to taking a tackle in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night.

I think this means Tevin Jenkins at 18.
Or Grier wants Cinci to take Sewell because that would mean one less OT for Cinci in round 2.
 
Could happen, but Sewell feels like a smokescreen. Listen, he's a great player and I wouldn't hate the pick. But Miami could also look to pick up a guard somewhere during the draft and keep Hunt at RT. As an example, Davis, from Ohio State, is now being mocked in the 3rd round which I think would be a steal.

I think if the team is determined to move Hunt to guard they do have to take an OT fairly early. These guys are going to fly off the board.
 
Totally fine with this. I’d say it’s not guaranteed we add an OT, but damn I hope we do now. Love Hunts potential at guard as opposed to tackle.

also- Kindley played on the left side in college, so seems safe to assume that’s his spot.

when dieter was able to come in late last year, he was alright. I think he got blown up within the first few plays but he held his own after that. He’s likely the first man up, interior wise imo
 
Or they are playing the other teams. For all we know they will move up a few spots and take Parsons.

I do not understand the logic in thinking Grier made this trade to pressure Cincy to take Sewell.

That is reading way too much into it.

I had hoped Hunt would move to OG because I think he will be a Pro Bowler there. Right Guard makes sense because again it's Tua's blindside. The easiest position to play on our OL will be Left Guard, where I expect to see Kindley moved. He is going to play lights out this year. As for the rookie coming in I don't think it has to be a guy that's already been a RT. We'll take the best OL available at OT and convert him.
Players with wise representation, like Sewell are already taking reps at RT because they realize Miami selects at 6 and could be in the market for a RT, which is Tua's blindside. There's LT money in our scheme for a RT would be my guess. The events of the day though haven't changed my thinking one bit. I'm really worried about Center right now.

I want to point this out... same as in the other thread.

Beasley is just speculating here.

There are no quotes or confirmations from the Dolphins front office on this.

Yes, I too think this is the likely outcome, but it MAY be that Flores actually likes Hunt at Tackle (I don't), and will take a Guard to opposite Kindley.
 
I really don't think Fluker starting for us anywhere would be good. He is someone who gets a lot of penalties. I guess jackson kindley skura hunt. then davis or fluker. I would like to draft actual right tackle. not a left playing right tackle but a right tackle
 
Lol well at least he won’t be miscast anymore. Pick 6 might though

😂 🤦‍♂️
 
I wouldn't hate Sewell at 6, Bateman at 18, and one of the top 3 RB's at 36. Not as sexy as taking a WR in the top 10, but maybe more effective seeing how Justin Jefferson worked out last year. If our plan is to go OL with our top pick, we could probably trade down a few spots and still get Sewell or Slater.
 
So what I'm thinking is:
LT - Jackson
LG - Kindley
C - Rookie
RG - Hunt
RT - Rookie or J. Davis

Backups - Fluker, Deiter, J. Davis, Skula (may not make roster)
