So, what picks did we get in 2020 from New Orleans?
Pure speculation on my part, but I'm thinking some of Deiter's thoughts are...Deiter thoughts?

Tomorrow is gonna be boring for awhile. sitting around maybe hoping for a move into the 4th
What makes anyone believe that Josh Rosen will be happy being a backup QB on the Dolphins when he wasn't happy being one on the Cardinals? If the Dolphins draft one of the top QBs in 2020 they are going to have to trade Rosen away or risk having a cancer in the locker room. Good luck with Grier getting more than a late round pick for Rosen in 2020. When other GMs see that it is Chris Grier calling their eyes light up while they have a huge smile on their face because they know that they are about to commit highway robbery.
Hey, we heard Grier and Flores spend the whole offseason thus far talking about philosophy. They wanted guys who lived and breathed football, guys who would die for their teammates, guys who would sacrifice for the team. That's a great philosophy. Looking at the guys Grier has added previously, like Reshad Jones, Xavien Howard, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Kenny Stills, Danny Amendola, Sitton, Gore, Dwayne Allen … it sounded very believable. Christian Wilkins seems like one of those guys as well. But Josh Rosen is not one of those guys. In fact, he has probably the loudest undercurrent of being the opposite type of player since RG3 or Jake Cutler.Come on Digital. I understand how you feel and expected a different move. But we can't lose faith now. Let's give the kid a chance. If he brings something to the table then we've found a possible franchise QB going forward and a bunch of picks to drastically improve the team. If not, then we won't win many games and will still find ourselves with a Top 5 pick next season and a new starting QB.
When your team isn't very good this isn't a bad way to hedge your bet on 2 top 10 Qbs. Think about it!

We're turning over the roster completely and starting new. We're building a culture from scratch. IMHO, this isn't the time for trading to get a team leader and one of the highest paid players who is the opposite of the philosophy you're espousing. To me, this is a big strike against both Grier and Flores. It's betting on talent without regard to the philosophy they are preaching. And young players will know that very quickly … and getting that culture to form strongly isn't likely IMHO. We may not hear about it for a couple of years … but the seeds are being sown now.
IMHO, we should have stuck to the plan to tank in 2019 and rebuild in 2020. Now, we've undermined ourselves and it will be at least 3 years before we can actually rebuild. I hope I'm wrong.
