Trade Deadline: Are Dolphins All In?

[SF Dolphin Fan]

Not sure if the LA Rams make it to the super bowl last year without the trade for Odell Beckham at the deadline. Teams are definitely taking note and looking at the draft a little differently.

At 4-3, Miami is right in the playoff race. I believe Buffalo and Kansas City are the two best teams in the conference, but injuries are always going to factor in. The new concussion protocols could derail some contenders.

Anyway, the Dolphins could use an offensive linemen, maybe a versatile secondary player who can play corner and safety, and you always make calls if a good pass rusher is available.

So, will Miami make a move or stand pat? This is a good roster. The Dolphins offense can be one of the more explosive units in the NFL. The run game is starting to show signs.

Defensively it's been tough with all the injuries in the secondary.

What player moves the needle?

We need help scoring TDs in the RZ. I’d try to focus on something that helps that if I make a move.

Kareem Hunt
David Montgomery

I mean Cam Akers would be nice but not sure we want to take on that baggage

I would not be going “all in” this season. We have too many holes and too many injuries. If we’re talking about Super Bowl contention, I don’t trust our pass rush or our linebackers or our running game, and our defensive backfield has been decimated by injury. That’s too many holes for mid-season acquisitions.

I’d be targeting next year as our year for Super Bowl contention. I’d gladly trade away guys like Gesicki, Ced Wilson, Chase Edmonds, Teddy Bridgewater, and any others who probably won’t be part of next year’s push, for either draft picks or guys who would fit on next year’s team.

The major pieces we need to add for next year are a high end pass rusher, a starting inside linebacker, a starting tight end, a starting left guard, and a starting RB. Also wouldn’t mind some more depth on both lines.

Right. Short yardage has been a problem. Not sure if a bigger back helps. I think it's just the offensive line, but not sure who is available trade-wise there.

 

[Michael Scott]

I wouldn’t do anything crazy like trading a FRP. But I’d be interested in anything else that brings back a young enough plus starter that can get to the passer. Chubb would be a great get and shouldn’t cost too much comp as he’s due for a new deal.

Or a RB at a low cost that can actually pick up tough short yardage. Why did we keep 4 finesse backs again?

I can see that viewpoint, especially with a new coach who is still learning the ropes.

It's hard to know what this team will be down the stretch. Miami has hurt itself, in some games, with penalties and turnovers.

But this team is also 4-1 when Tua starts and can be very explosive.

Actually Miami is top 5 in scoring TDs from the red zone right now

 

[Yessir]

We absolutely need a trade. Need another weapon. Preferably another running back. Use that patriots 3rd as bait.

Honestly, that would be my target. I would be surprised if Denver let him go, but I've heard his name mentioned in trade rumors. He's young and a legitimate pass rusher.

 

[ThePeopleShow13]

TBH the 1st round pick we lost hurts. The team is 4-3 and has been plagued with injuries. We could definitely uses a RB and Edge rusher. At this point DB depth is also an issue. Would have been nice to get a solid starter and still have some picks.

OL requires big time upgrades, they are not good. Tua makes them look average because he releases the ball so quickly but when he tries to stay in the pocket it collapses faster then diarrhea. This OL is still real bad. Armstead is the only above average player.

We already declared we are all in by signing tyreek and Armstead. With him near his 30’s, Howard approaching 30’s we have a 1-2 year gap. We’ve yet to see what this team can do with a fully healthy offense and defense. All you need to do is sneak in and everything clicks at the right time. Nfl taking out 1st kind of put an axe to well if Tua doesn’t work out we can draft a qb and start over. If I’m Gm I’m trading everything for proven players before you either have to pay Tua or chose to move on (not because of play but the injury concern). Might not give up our first but if we can move gesicki and 2nd 3rd for a pass rusher/lb and running back im making a move.
