Timmons is a rental and Alonzo can't play 16 games in a season. Dolphins need linebackers badly. They don't just need depth they really need to find starters because Alonzo, Timmons and Misi are not good enough and wouldn't start on a top 10 defense in this league...maybe not even a top 15 defense in this league. Dolphins will be lucky to get 24 starts out of the 3 of them combined this year.
Completely agree, I just don't think the team sees it it as a dire issue because of the guaranteed money we dumped on them and that they're expected to start. We can't afford on defense to let an early pick at LB sit and learn with so many other holes. I think we'll address the secondary and line early and then a later pick on a LB which allows the liberties for lower snap counts and learning from bench.
Not my process, just assumptions on how the FO sees it.
