We've swung and missed on far too many OL in the past 20 years for me to feel excited right now about our haul. Much like a guy who doesn't believe he's the father...I'll wait for the results.

My brother , Tua might not see the field until the last few game and Flo wont be judged until Tua is the starter.Fingers crossed Tua holds up, or this may be Coach Flo's last year.
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?
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.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.
Mr positivpity you areAsking 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.
Fingers crossed Tua holds up, or this may be Coach Flo's last year.
Exactly Exactly ExactlyAhh 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 :=).
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.
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.
