If there is a prospect that fits perfectly with Brian Flores defense it has to be Simmons, He will do what Minkah did´nt wanted to do so he forced a trade, Isaiah Simmons also happens to be Faster and Stronger than Minkah, more explosive as a blitzer, he can be a nickel corner, take the RB, be a blitzer ...etc . Simmons is the swiss army knife that Flores covets. He might not be there at 18 so Miami is forced to take him at 5 or trade up the 18th pick. most mock drafts put him in the top 15, I doubt Miami pass on him.
 
If Tua is not there at 5 I would try to trade down between 6-10 and grab him there. Having another 3rd and/or 4th would help get another blue chip player.
 
IMO If we stay at 5 we have to take the best QB available which is almost certainly Herbert assuming Tua is gone. We have to trust our coaching staff can develop his elite physical tools.

Why do they have to take a QB at 5 if Burrow and Tua are off the board already? The Dolphins drafted Tannehill too high and we all know how that ended up. If they are not convinced any of the QB’s on the board are worth the 5th pick, they absolutely should not draft a QB with that pick. They should take the highest rated player on their board with that pick and if that highest rated player isn’t a QB, I am fine with that.

As far as trusting the coaches to develop the next QB is concerned. Gailey isn’t known as a coach which develops young QB’s and I don’t know of any coach now with the Dolphins who is known for developing QB’s. So I really don’t have much trust in them taking a QB who needs a lot of development and that QB ending up being the long term solution at the QB position.

Well I mean they obviously shouldn't draft Herbert if they don't feel he's worth the 5th pick. I'd be very surprised if they didn't though.

Our player development really shined last season, so I'm comfortable with them drafting Herbert if they see enough in him to warrant the 5th pick.
 
We only have one pick at #5, so as good as he is it's unlikely we can get him.
 
I want him. At this rate, I doubt he makes it to 5. If he somehow makes it to 5, I'd draft Tua then trade that 18 up to 6 (if the Chargers allow it) and draft Simmons. He's a major chess piece Flores will love.

Unless he's a bitch like Minkah.
 
If were moving down from 5 we better be getting 2nd in 2020 and or 1st in 2021, I don't do anything for 3rd or 4th here

While Simmons looks like a great player, there's some truth to building from inside out I think were a couples years away from using our top pick for such a player.

4 elite OT's that Miami needs to start it's offensive line rebuild, Wills, Thomas, Wirfs or Becton

If Miami landed Tua at 5 it would be worth exploring a move up at 18 to the 10-12 range for Wills or Wirfs if they were on the board at that point and would expect to pay our 5th pick which is a bottom 2nd rounder.

Landing the last of the elite offensive tackles may be worth a move up.
 
This thread needs to be brought back to life.

Simmons at #5 might be the way this team needs to go.

I'm officially off the Tua bandwagon, the injuries are just too concerning. I was never on the Herbert wagon and Love at #5 is just too early.

Enter Isaiah Simmons - he might step in and be the best strong safety in the game in a couple of years. He can also play slot corner, OLB, MLB and pretty much any zone coverage area on the field. Hes what we wanted Minka to do, except Simmons can actually do it. Flores will have a field day moving Simmons around. He could be the difference in us being a top 20 defense to a top 5 defense.

If we dont take Simmons at #5, get us a Tackle there and be happy we took the best player who; most importantly; is healthy enough to play in the NFL.
