I get your point that all is not lost if we finish around 500. It would be an almost impossible feat considering this roster.Its not guaranteed to be better in the long run and if you cant see how going a respectable 7-9 with THIS particular roster and the bevy of picks we have before us is the better option then I dont think I can help you. It means an inexperienced, depleted roster and rookie head coach stepped up in a major way.
You act like drafting higher is a lock for a good player and vice versa and that we dont have the flexibility to maneuver however we want in this draft.
While nothing is guaranteed, we have the best odds right now of drafting Tua or Lawrence, who are both considered to be among the 5 best qb prospects to come out of college in the past 40 years. The other 3 would be Elway, Manning, & Luck. If we can end up with either one of them in 2020 or 2021, there are very good odds that we will witness a Dolphins Super Bowl sometime in the next decade. We must do whatever is necessary to draft one of these guys and use all the picks & cap space to build a roster around them. We’ve tried the opposite way for the last 20 years and it hasn’t worked.
With that being said, nobody is going to trade the pick if they can draft Tua or Lawrence no matter who their current qb is. So anything other than getting the 1st overall pick is considered a failure.
