Everytime we whiff on a good FA, let's just keep saying "we'll fix it in the draft" for every problem we have. Since most of the moves we've made are 1 year or 2 year rentals/stop gaps, let's see the current tally?
3 LBs
2 CBs
2 DEs
1 DT
2 OGs
1 Swing Tackle
1 RB
And a partridge in a pear tree.
That's 12 starters in 2 drafts. Not to mention holes we need to fill the upcoming season. Oh btw, when are we going to fix the OL? Letting this FO and these coaches pass on being ok with Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner is absolute stupidity.
The only strength we could possibly have this year is the offense. And we are going to once again rely on Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner to protect Tannehill?
Ross gave Gase 3 years. This is the master plan?
Believe what you want, rationalize how you may.... the ONLY thing we have accomplished is continued mediocrity.
If the answer is drafting, then why let Miller walk? This team drafted him and this team developed him. He was our product of drafting. If drafting is the answer, you keep him. Period.
If you want to see how to utilize Miller, watch how Houston makes him a contender for NFL Rushing Champ this year.
For all of those thinking we are going to find a RB (Miller) and OGs in the draft, exactly what rounds were you going to draft defense? You know, the obvious holes we had BEFORE FA started? The impactful FAs are signed. The only ones left are value vets and hole pluggers.
Here's the type of moves we could have been making: ILB Jerrell Freeman 3 years $12M, ILB Danny Trevathan 4 years $24.4M. For more money, we have Byron Maxwell and Kiko Alonso and gave up 5 drafts spots in the first round.
The draft debt we are creating is unfillable. Meanwhile, we are completing forgoing any chance to win now. Good luck on the 3 year Master Plan.
I'm sorry, this offseason is a complete trainwreck. Totally dependent on oft-injured players and players who have yet to deliver on potential.
Dallas Thomas lives again. And that's all you need to know about Offseason 2016.
