Then I would keep Howard. I wouldn't even trade up to 3 if pick 5 was involved unless I was only giving up an additional future 3rd at most. I don't believe any other team, including the Chargers, are sold enough on Tua's long term durability to gamble multiple picks if those picks include one in the top 10. IMO Bob Quinn is attempting to dupe the Dolphins and I hope Grier doesn't fall for the ruse.
Leader of o and d, then take whatever tackle fallsWhat about Tua at 3 , Simmons at 5...........Trade one of the later picks and our first 2 at 39 to get back into the 1st round to get Jones, Jackson or whoever they might be in love with.
Im not sure what picks would be involved if we traded Howard but his contract demands extra
I would prefer it to be whenever Flores feels he is ready. I'm not against a rookie sitting for a year, in fact, I think it actually increases the odds that they succeed. The 10% bothers me because it seems to contradict all the hype about how well Tua's recovery has gone. I have always had some concerns about Tua aside from the injury but the hip has been the biggest. I have been less concerned since we have been hearing so much positive about his recovery, only to find out now that amazing recovery may be synonymous with with "fully recovered by next year". That would be a red flag for me if true.
If we trade Howard it just creates another hole with less draft picks it doesnt make sense to do.
Tua and Wills.
Herbert and Thomas.
Someone like Dobbins in the 2nd round.
Im guessing it would be 18, 26, and a 1st next year.
What bias is that?At least you admit your built in bias.
Which means, nothing I can say will move you. Kinda where I am with everyone not named Tua or Joe.
What bias is that?
Why would Detroit trade down for a pick next year? I will cost the coach his job, maybe before this season starts. There's no way he doesn't deal for help for this year. Maybe #18 and 2 #2's and a #3 ect.I don’t see how #18 + a first round pick in 2021 doesn’t get a deal done — especially when MIA can agree to convey the highest pick between their own or HOU’s.
Think about it. To move down 15 spots, HOU gets a first rounder next season from MIA or HOU — who both have a decent probability of finishing in the bottom 10. And they’d be guaranteed to get the pick from the team with the worst finish between the two.
If I am MIA I’d rather surrender one of the two first’s next season than have to give up 5 this season.
For DET, 18 is still a nice pick and they’d add a 2nd first round next season that has a high probability to be in the upper half and decent chance to be top 10.
It give them a good chance to go looking for a future QB to replace Stafford next season.
If another pick, such as a 3rd, needs to be added to make it all work, I‘d seriously consider it,
