You’ve heard a lot of noise about the Miami Dolphins tanking in 2019. Because, well, they’re doing exactly that.

But I’d like to separate the toxicity of that strategy the Dolphins have chosen from what the team had to do this offseason.

While everyone (including me) has been talking about the Dolphins tanking, it should not escape notice that to make any progress the Dolphins definitely had to blow up their roster this year anyway.

By trading Tunsil the Dolphins traded “what is” for a ‘what if,’ and that is rarely a good move.

So basically he agrees with every cut and or trade, except Tunsil, with one could make an argument that was the right move also..

Not only could you make the argument that it was the right move, it had to be done, even if you never wanted to part with Tunsil (we didn't).
 
I agree with EVERY move we've made this off-season & the roster purge started last year by bouncing headaches Suh, Landry, & Pouncey. The return for Tunsil was just too great to turn down. That's the type of return you get for a franchise game changing player, like Khalil Mack, not Laremy Tunsil.

2 firsts and a second would be overpaying for Khalil Mack!
 
Not only was the Tunsil trade a good move. Imo that was the BEST move we've made. The way I see it. if we draft a good LT in 2020 then we're even but better cause that new LT would be ours for 5 years on a cheap deal and we still have a 1 and a 2 in 2021. How can anyone not like that trade is beyond me.

I also kind of the like the idea of using some of that massive cap money for a proven veteran.

Use those high draft picks on impact players, and avoid all the nonsense of comparing the drafted tackle to Tunsil.

We have to spend that $150 million somewhere.
 
We were lucky to get Tunsil in that draft so lets not count that as just another chicken in the bag because we have some extra eggs laying around. Think Dion Jordan 3rd overall dud.
