We need WRs and RBs. Henry is a huge part of Tannehill’s success in TN. I’m going all in on the offense in the draft. Flo can scheme the defense to slow teams down.
Number 3 why not to draft a QB

I agree that we need offense but this draft especially late 1st round through the whole 2nd round is littered with really good players. That’s why we have to find a way to trade one of our 1s and pick up an extra 2nd and/or 3rd. We desperately need a playmaking safety to pair with X and the Jones boys. Brandon Jones looks like he’s going to be a good one so complete the secondary with a guy like Oregon safety Jevon Holland in the 2nd round. Syracuse’s Andre Cisco somewhere one round 3 is also a really talented guy. Flo loves the secondary so give him another new toy to play around with back there.
Also we need an edge rusher and once again in rounds 2/3 theirs really great value for guys like Pittsburgh’s Patrick Jones or Miami(FL)s Jaelen Phillips. I also wouldn’t be opposed to a run stuffing edge setter or DT. The defense is not complete and shouldn’t be completely ignored in the draft.

Good stuff, you are right I am just not sure I trust Grier to get us what we need I still think last years draft could have been so much more and we would not be looking for a RB and maybe 1 less WR.
Smith and Chase either side, Gesicke in motion.
Chan or whoever starts calling play action the first down, and more roll out.
All these are obtainable. Not too much to ask for

I actually feel really confident in Grier Flo and the whole FO. It’s the most confident I’ve ever felt in my 31 years of life about our FO. I know everybody whether a causal fan or an absolute fanatic loves the sexy picks in the draft myself included. We all get excited about the new speedy WR or the gamebreaking new tailback. But I really believe they went about the draft last year exactly how they should have. You don’t build a football team from the outside in. You build it from the inside out. That’s the approach they have taken and I’m absolutely 100% on board with it. They addressed the front 7 on D mostly in free agency then addressed the OL in the draft and sprinkled in a CB(Iggy) and took a flyer in the 7th on Malcolm Perry. They are building it the right way because now is when we’re going to get our playmakers and sexy picks. I just hope Fin nation don’t completely flip out if we use 1 of the 2 first rounders on a defensive guy because although our defense played very well this year they also played above their head due to great coaching/scheming and great effort from our guys. This defense can and will be taken to the next level with a great pass rusher and playmaking safety. We also have to get a run stopping LB and run dropping edge or DT. We have to be better against the run especially WHEN we get into the playoffs next year and beyond. You have to be able to stop the run in cold weather against playoff caliber opponents.

Yes.
Quit bickering or you will be banned from the thread
We have 19 free agents and none of them we will really missed if we don't resign. That means we still have a lot of roster spots to improve on. Try to trade 3 for a ton of picks and continue the rebuild. If unable to trade out than take Sewell.

Nonsense!
Grab that big OT.
Move Austin Jackson to G. Move Hunt to G.
Grab Jalen Mayfield 1B and plug at RT.
Grab Creed Humphrey for C.
Grab both NC RBs.
Hand the ball off and pop open a Bub.
Game is already won!
>>> if Tua bombs Bowden plays QB.

Absolutely pick a QB in the first round.
What I came away from last year's draft was that outside of Tua, Strowbridge and Weaver most of the other picks at first glance were a bit of a surprise with the word reach sprinkled in.
All of those reaches played better than expected including the trade pick for Bowden with only Weaver cut and Strowbridge barely playing and yes Iggy struggled mightly starting early in the season.
So I expect to the same in this next draft and hopefully we avoid the Weavers and Rosen's.

Our play action fools absolutely no one.
In all fairness...many looked At Herbert’s college career and deemed Tua a clear choice (not me)...the talent inequalities in college make that a difficult game!
