Trade for O-Line?

We need to do something today's Preseason game displayed how God awful our O-line is. Every drop back had 2 seconds before our pocket collapsed. And our 2nd string line was the worst I've ever witnessed.
 
If Flo has a downfall it's his problems with hiring and keeping offensive coaches. The o-line's been through 3 coaches since Flo's been here. The offensive coordinator job first went to his buddy from NE, next was Gailey now we have co-coordinators. The oline has a lot of highly drafted talent. It's up to the o-line coach to develop and mold the talent into a highly functioning unit. I don't see a well coached o-line at this point but it's very early. Also, Grier and Flo did NOT draft a high quality RB to help with the run game. So, as a result we still looked weak in short yardage situations. Najee Harris, imo, would have made this team scary but they went DE, Philipps has greatness but so far he's always banged up. When we needed the early TD we got stopped. I know every Dolphin fan in the world is sick and tired of watching this team suck at running the ball.

Flo is a defensive coach so when the best DE on the board fell to him he picked Jaelen Phillips. The Steelers grabbed Harris so fast my television almost broke. Harris is a young star just waiting to bloom into NFL greatness. Reuniting Tua and Najee Harris would have been a brilliant move. The o-line magically blocks better when you have a great runner. Funny how that works!! It will be interesting to follow the careers of Phillips and Harris to see which one goes on to greatness. Maybe they both will be stars. That was a HUGE FO decision Harris or Philliips, I think they got it wrong, hope I'm wrong!
 
I like the thread title - it sounds as though we are suggesting we trade for an entire o-line - which we likely need as we have 5 scrubs and a decent swing player in Davis. Go Grier, go!!!
 
Id trade for 2. Should've gotten Eric Fisher this offseason. I think one of the two should be a vet tackle but I don't know how many good vets are available at affordable price. But, if not a vet, Id trade for Landon Young a rookie off the Saints, and Foster Sarell off Ravens. Maybe Sarell will be cut, Id doubt it, Id trade for him now.
 
On running plays Flores should bench the Oline why bother.

Eric Fisher was the 1st overall pick in the 2013 draft and widely seen as a monumental bust until his 5th season when he finally became a serviceable LT. I find it interesting when people suggest we trade for a vet that took years to develop when our OL is so young. Perhaps we should give these guys time to develop and see what we really have?

Because we need someone NOW. Not next year or 5 years from now.

I think this is a really good and fair analysis of what we've seen so far, anybody that's a Dolphin fan that doesn't have a little bit of concerns with the fluidity of offensive growth with our staff have their blinders on. However, I'm not ready to put much stock into preseason game number one, I'll save my reservations about the offense until at least week 8.
 
If those are our assets we better be attaching a nice pick to actually improve the oline
 
I know it's not tackle, but I would seriously inquire about NO'S Centers and see if either are available.

I truly believe we are an offensive line away from being special.

So I would have no issues or concerns trading future picks.

DVP and SF'S first next year. I wonder what linemen or linemens we could get for that

It could be possible to get Armstead from them as well. Last year on contract and the Saints most likely can't afford to extend.
