I will be thrilled if we win one but my guess is we'll win four or five

The saddest thing about this “news” is that it’s probably true. We have to be the dumbest franchise in professional sports. We have the 13th pick, but let’s tell everyone we have no interest in drafting a QB in 2019.
Please, please, please. It's waaaay too early for the "smoke screen" talk. I can't handle it yet
At this point in time, I dont expect anything relating to team building strategy to be true... They're not going to tell everyone what their true plan really is...
which QB do you want to draft at 13?

You won't have to "tank" if your QB is the right one (Ostweiler). Play the rookie next season...if there is a rookie.
This actually makes sense. It's what I would do
Who did they tell anything to? You think Adam called Grier and strategy was shared? My lord some of you bite at anything.
It's the best way to do it and it is what this franchise has needed for a long time. They also need to get rid of any high priced salaries on veteran players and, as much I would hate to lose him, the Dolphins should consider trading Xavien Howard. There would be no sense having the highest paid cornerback in the league if you are going to be bad and rebuilding.

It’s not about a smokescreen. It’s a question of what some “team insider” thinks the Dolphins gain by putting this information out publicly. Come up with a plan, keep it in house, and execute it. Don’t call Adam Schefter and say “hey, we’re going to target a top-10 pick next year so we can get a QB.”

Oh please, if you don’t think stuff like that happens, how does everyone in the media get the jump that we’re hiring Flores? That’s true, but Schefter made all of this up out of whole cloth?

The saddest thing, is no matter what the franchise does, we'll have 'fans' like this, criticizing every minute move.

The thing is it might be true, but I highly doubt that we revealed our 2 year strategy to Schefter before hiring a coach.
So many things happen from week to week, this may be 1 plan out of 30 that we have.
Non story, next
