Doesn’t hurt at all and I love the bounty but let’s see what we use those picks on.
 
I truly hate trading premier OTs, however

2 x 1 round picks
2 round pick
Taking Stills
(if they had taken Jones I would have been smiling over it)

It is difficult to say its a bad trade, the proof will be what the Dolphins do with the picks.
 
So I guess all that talk about building up our lines was a bunch of b.s.

Our line is going to be atrocious and we won't win 5 games.

We don't need to win more than that this year. 5 maybe too many.
 
While we can say we got tremendous value in terms of draft compensation in this trade, the real measure of whether or not it was a good trade won’t come until the picks have actually been made. Do it right, and this could be a major coup, do it wrong and it is just another in a long line of draft failures.

Here’s hoping the FO is totally dialed in for the first time ever.

Five is way too many. Two is more like it. Who the hell cares how many they win when they are going to be bad? I have no problem with them going 0-16 as long as they get the first pick without having to give up any of those valuable draft assets. I'm all for how ever many loses it takes to clinch the first pick.

As other's have said, if we can't draft in general, we're screwed whether we make this trade or not.
 
How many wins was Tunsil responsible for since his time in Miami? Was the offensive line productive with him in the line up?

Was Stills really that important to this football team?

Answer those three questions truthfully and tell me how much this trade "hurts".

GTFO of here. MIAMI COMMITTED LEGAL ROBBERY WITH THIS TRADE!

Every Dolfan should be through the roof with this deal.

This is honestly a transaction where we don't look like complete morons. The Texans carry that honor right now.

Keeping Tunsil and making him the highest paid LT in the NFL is not building up your lines.

We have had solid tackles since we took Long in 2008 (well 2013 was a transition year) and the offensive lines have been trash.

Trading him for 3 high quality assets allows you to do that. And now this year you get to find out who in this group of young players has the ability to be a future asset on this OLine.

It is a necessary cleansing that Miami needed to embrace to make themselves better.

Could they have kept everybody, maybe sign a Lesean McCoy and a Demayrious Thomas and trade for a Trent Williams just to crawl there way to 8-8 . . . .sure . . . .but aren't you tired of that?

It's likely gonna be a rough year on the record, but enjoy watching young players come of age and just have a little more patience.

They finally have a front office that seems to know what they are doing and they have run things at a level we just have not seen around these parts.

Well I guess we should have traded Xavien Howard too right? Just trade all of our proven young players for a bunch of unproven draft picks???
