Given the draft so far, adding a top edge and running back would fill 2 major needs....
 
Absolutely not. Miami already butchered day two of the draft. No need to compound the mistakes by doing something that stupid.
 
I’d make an offer for Fournette. I was hoping that we would take a RB in the draft.
 
The Dolphins are in a rebuilding mode. It is going to be a 2 or 3 year rebuilding process and hopefully no one is expecting the Dolphins to fill all their needs and go to the playoffs after just one draft in this rebuilding period. I don’t think it is necessary to start spending huge amounts of money to trade for players who are going to demand the type of money Fournette and Ngakoue will expect from any team they are traded to.

Perhaps in a 2 or 3 years when they are just a player or two away from being a playoff team trades like that might make sense. Right now they are still trying to just get back to a mediocre team before they hopefully take that next step up in a couple of years. I suspect they will draft a top DE in the first round next year and they still have a number of picks this year and next year to find an upgrade at the RB position.
 
If they didn’t draft a RB, they’re definitely not going give up assets for Fournette. Miami is going to stand pat with Ballage As a backup smh

Butchered? Some much needed trench players for the foundation, I dont see that as butchering. I mean the safety pick could of been a RB.
 
No way. Both are gonna be too $$$$
 
I would make a light offer for Fournette, if they say no, then oh well. As for Yannick, no thanks.

I say we take a look at signing Devonte Freeman

This is not a 2-3 year rebuild. The free agent signings and their contracts should tell you that. I think Miami will expect to win the afc east the season after this one. We won 5 games with far less talent than we have now. Winning 7-8 games this year and then 10 or 11 the year after is a very real possibility if Tua plays at the level we expect.
 
Don’t forget the other teams in our division got a little better too except for the patriots of course
