The Dolphins still do NOT!!, I repeat.....do NOT! have a blind side protector for Tua. I love Liam Eichenberg but as most of you know he will be an interior OL guy in the NFL.
For God's sake create some cap space and sign Eric Fisher to start at RT. Fisher was the 16th ranked LT last year and has graded higher in previous years. He is very good in both the run game and pass protection and he doesn't get penalties. He is a highly intelligent player who can easily adjust to our schemes and the position change to the right side.
And for crying out LOUD!! We are still thin on the edge, very thin IMO. Sign edge/OLB Justin Houston to a multi-year deal. He had 9 sacks last year....yes, he is 32 but he obviously hasn't lost it.
An incentive laden deal with a minuscule first year cap hit.
Give Ogbah an extension and drop his cap hit this year to nil.
Trade or cut Jakeem Grant and Allen Hurns. Give extensions to both Will Fuller and Benardrick Mckinney and drop their cap hits this year to nil.
Dolphins could easily create a ton of cap space to sign these players and a few more if need be.
Chicken Little Alert - The Sky Is Not Falling.
We have made the Offense and the Defense better, much better. This will go a long way in both protecting our QB and in making him more dangerous offensively.
1) The OL will be adjusted to take advantage of the skill sets of our existing players and draftees and newly acquired free agents. I suspect we already have the all the players we need for the positions we want to put them in on the offensive line and in the backfield.
2) Free Agency is not done yet, and with so many teams having cap limitations, there is about to be a glut of free agents available. This is going to be a buyers market, and we will be doing our share of buying.
3) Our Front Office, you know, the ones who have just completed their 2nd successful draft have spent a lot of time preparing for the draft and undoubtable for the upcoming glut of free agents. We are not in cap hell, remember, we cannot keep all the players we have, so some will be traded or released. The adjustment of those players we get and let go will be done in a timely method that takes full advantage of critical release dates.
Get up, wipe yourself off, put on your under-roos and watch a great team rise to win it's division this year.
I understand that the Jets could use a few more trolls on their board so you might want to take a look-see!!!
