You can make the argument that the FO doesn’t use the picks right anyway, but when I really think about it, those picks are now way too important to spend on one player, given the state of the franchise presently
The bounty of draft picks we could use for DW seems a little more important now….

Enough with the theRAPIST already
They are well suited to do either. Second in cap space with an absurd amount can buy a lot of FA talent. I'm not a Watson guy, but after looking at the details of the supposed trade and what would be left, there are ways to make it work.

Does anyone really want to mortgage the future of the team and give Flo and Grier a new QB? Let’s say we trade for Watson before the deadline and win 5 or 6 meaningless games that probably buys Flo and Grier another season. I’d rather see them sink or swim with the mess they’ve made and let new decision makers make these calls. In fact in a very unpopular opinion to finheaven (this site LOVES trades) if I were Ross I wouldn’t let these guys do anything at the deadline. Why let them make any decisions on future assets with what they are showing?
I guess too you’d have to look at the way they are utilizing the talent, and how to get the most out of the players when taking that into consideration- again something this team looks to be horrible at…
100% agree…. Also you’d have to look at how attractive a coaching spot this would be for coaches if you bring on a potential criminal and the circus that goes with it… I don’t want DW- I think it would be a horrible trade, and given this current regimes track record, I don’t think they could manage that circus if they traded for him
The way they analyze players is certainly suspect, but it is neither here nor there to the capabilities of trading for Watson and filling out the team afterwards. Just looking at it from a numbers standpoint (if there were another GM doing it).
I agree…It is unfortunate that this team is even considering this…. I just thought, with the teams performance so far, those picks would be more valuable filling needs rather than unloading that capital on one player.. subject I hadn’t seen addressed here yet
If they really do want to make this trade, you make a good point with the FA $ in particular, that they could do it… with this FO though, I believe it would be a sh1t show in the end… I really don’t want DW
Me either man, me either. Think it's a complete waste.
Shhhh stop now. You’re getting as boring as the threads on DW

Why? we cannot draft with them anyway. We could have 30 1st round picks and still pick the wrong guy.
Given how the Dolphins manage their drafting, thinking the solution is going to come through the draft is, at this point, naive and delusional.

Our QB is literally the best player on the field and the solution to all our problems is to replace him and throw in a bunch of draft picks for someone who will likely not play a game this year and very possibly next. You can't make this crap up honestly, have a word with yourself.
