Long shot FA year

[phintim]

Calling out this free agency year out as the long shot year.
Why most of these guys we have signed are big on talent but long on past injury histories or have made some off the field mistakes costing themselves some bucks.

This year is huge for us because it's year 3 of the Flores rebuild plan in Dolphinland and we will soon be able to determine if his past 2 sucessful years were a bit lucky or we finally have the right coach since Shula.

So far Flores has surprised let's hope it continues.

The draft will matter a lot more than FA. We need to nail it. We have to get 3 (WR, RB, OC) starters out of the first 4 picks.

We now need a center, 2 linebackers / DE plus a wide reciever and running back so yep we better nail it with 5 of those picks.

Don't get me wrong . . . I'd LOVE an OC upgrade. I am not, however, convinced Flo agrees with us. I won't be shocked if one of the OCs on the roster are the starter game 1. 2 LBs? Again, I agree, and expect that, but not as Flo's money priority.

If Miami wants one of the top three running backs, I think the Dolphins might have to either (a) take a running back at #18, or (b) trade back into the first round.

A trade with Denver with our 3rd pick and a trade with Pittsburgh with our 18th would be one of the best outcomes we might hope for. Denver might snag us a 1st next year and add 2nd or third this year while a trade with Pitt would crrate a add 4th this year. One of the 4 recievers / TE should be available with the Denver pick and a running back and or too linebacker should be available with the 20 th pick from Pitt.
