You guys realize we aren't going to "fix" The O line or D line with just one draft, right?

I know the defensive line needs a lot of work. Maybe more than the offensive line, but with a new quarterback coming in either in the 2019 or 2020 draft, is building the offensive line more of an immediate concern?
The last thing you want is for your potential franchise quarterback to come into a situation where the offensive line can't protect him. We've seen that with both Luck and Tannehill.
Currently, Miami has a budding star in Tunsil at left tackle. That's a great start. I also hope the the team extends James at right tackle. If Miami lets James go, then we are talking about maybe needing three starters there.
The defensive line is admittedly more of a mess. I don't expect the team to keep Quinn meaning there isn't a quality defensive end on the roster. The tackle tandem of Godchaux and Taylor is decent, but not special.
The expectations for a draft is finding two starters each year. Maybe the team can get a little lucky and find three. Where do you put the resources?
Dude, we have fixed the O line and D line with 10 drafts so no. But you have to start somewhere.You guys realize we aren't going to "fix" The O line or D line with just one draft, right?
To go along with this the staff basically has to decide how much some of the issues this year was talent and how much was scheme. I can tell you that Flores and his people felt that the OL lacked very basic fundamentals

So true. That's why I almost fee the offensive line is a slightly bigger immediate priority. That said, it looks like a fantastic year for defensive lineman. I'd love to see Miami follow the strength of the draft. I also don't want three holes on the offensive line when a new quarterback takes his first snaps.You guys realize we aren't going to "fix" The O line or D line with just one draft, right?
That maybe true, but what about the last 10 years. Did they review the online at any point in those passed years.Pulling from the Locked On Dolphin podcast but Travis said in one of his first interviews with Joe Schad he was told by the OL that the technique they were being taught changed week to week so there was never a consistent

If offensive line is our biggest priority right now then we have serious issues.
