Our new offensive line

Fingers crossed Tua holds up, or this may be Coach Flo's last year.

My brother , Tua might not see the field until the last few game and Flo wont be judged until Tua is the starter.

I think he's a terrific coach and will be here a good while and in the playoffs sooner rather than later.

With the additions of Austin Jackson (6'5" 322), Robert Hunt (6'5" 323), and Solomon Kindley (6'3" 337) in the draft, combined with the free-agent acquisitions of Karras (6'4" 300) and Flowers (6'6" 330), and the very steady Jessie Davis (6'6" 321) we have definitely got a type. So my question is, how do we shuffle them? Do players like Deiter, Calhoun, Davenport, and Isidora have roles?

Personally, I think we keep Davis at Right Tackle, put Hunt at Right Guard, Karras at Center (obviously), Flowers at Left Guard, and Jackson at Left Tackle

LT: Jackson / isidora
Lg: Flowers / Kindley
Cc: Karras / Deiter
Rg: Hunt / Calhoun
RT: Davis / Davenport

Do we have enough depth? Who stands to be cut? Is my lineup feasible, or should we swap Davis and Hunt?

I like it, but I think there is going to be some huge compitition in camp, so may the best LT...LG...C...RG...RT...win.

I definitely don’t want Davis protecting Tua’s blindside. Why did Miami extend him again?

We all know all these O-line men Miami drafted aren’t going to pan out. It’s just not realistic. I hope Jackson and at least one more do however.

What's not realistic? I take Jackson, Kindley, Hunt over Davenport, Calhoun, Davis. Right now, done. No hesitation. I cut Calhoun and Davenport today. Davis can be a backup.

Asking for a friend is what the draft is all about. Nah, given how this front office just squandered this draft capital ... there will be no loans, sorry brother.

Mr positivpity you are
 
I think flowers is going to play left tackle... the rookie Austin Jackson plays right tackle as Tuas blind side.. I don’t really know we’re still 1 tackle short. Much better than last year but still bottom 16. Just closer to 16 than 32

Ahh Fitz will do fine behind that line. Tua and the line will be ready at around the same time. There is no rush on any of this stuff, the 2020 Dolphins and Tua will not be hoisting the Lombardi trophy next February there is plenty of time for this to play out. I think unnecessary impatience is going to be my biggest pet peeve in the next year and I’m going to keep pointing it out :=).

Exactly Exactly Exactly

If this is our "new" line, then we're going to get Tua killed for certain. Jackson is a 1st rounder, but he's at least a year away. Hunt may never be NFL caliber, IMHO. We're banking on one good year from Flowers, but he looks to be our best returning OL. Davis is probably our most reliable ... wow, that's scary stuff.

I honestly cannot believe we spent a 1st, 2nd, and 4th on OL, and will have zero new starters in 2020, and may not even have improved our OL. It's an absolutely horrible OL draft. I have hope for Jackson, but he's a down-the-road guy. Kindley can play, but he's not dominant, and he's the 4th rounder. Hunt ... I think was a bad pick . Ugh.

While some teams continue to build solid OL, the Miami Dolphins continue to throw draft picks away along the OL.

Miami throws darts at OL.
This was very easy to predict- should’ve been prepared that OT5 was a reach at #18.
Austin Jackson was the wrong pick.
Take Ruiz. OC1. Take the day 1 starter.
Either Ruiz or Karras plays Guard.
Once OT1-4 were gone - go get Trent Williams or wait for Rd2-3.
 
Digital, could be right but then again they did address the need for this team, now they need to be coached up, running the rock is what's on the dolphins agenda this season.
 
So we traded a proven Tunsil, for an unproven Jackson.

Hunt never faced top talent, hes big but also flabby.

Kindley actually intrigues me more than Hunt.

With all the ammo we had in this draft, we couldnt somehow move a few spots for Wirfs and Ruiz? Im not sure why the Saints even got Ruiz, they have a good OL.

Im also shocked we didnt get Prince Tega, he could develop well.

Luckily Tua isnt starting this year. The OL could pan out great, but it could pan out poor too.

I think Tunsil just got another false start.
