We can critique Chris Grier, but the results of the Laremy Tunsil trade is simply unreal.

Here's what Miami has received....

Johnson Bademosi
Julien Davenport
Noah Igbinoghene
Solomon Kindley
Jaylen Waddle
Jevon Holland
Tyreek Hill
Channing Tindall
Erik Ezukanma
2023 1st round pick from SF

However people want to paint the picture, is their own perspective. I personally don't credit Grier for all of it though. I credit the GM for the Texans for putting us in this situation. We lucked out the he wanted to give up a king's ransom for a player that didn't deserve a king's ransom and that one of their 1st rounders ended up being pick #3 because they sucked so bad. We also lucked out that the #3 pick happened to be in a year where there were a few QB's that warranted trading up for (this year we would not have been so lucky).

All b.s. aside, the end result of trading Tunsil for Holland, Hill, Waddle AND another 1st is pure genius. I just personally felt like some of this was pure luck and I'm still skeptical of Grier (although he is growing on me)...
 
I thought you wrote Brian Grier on purpose, and really, that's actually an appropriate name for the situation.

Let's hope SF's season becomes completely unhinged and the gift keeps on giving.

He outsmarted their GM who wasn't a GM to begin with.

No questions it fell into place nicely for Grier. The timing was perfect since Miami was in a rebuild. Perhaps Grier doesn't make that move if the Dolphins were a playoff caliber team.

Kind of disagree. Though I agree O'Brien and crew's huge fail did start the ball rolling, it was Grier's dealing back and forth, again and again, that allowed the draft pick to keep on giving.

Good point. Grier essentially kept adding to the haul with his wheeling and dealing.

Obviously, some of those players aren't much to speak of. But Holland, Waddle and Hill could/should have great careers.

Looking forward to what we get next year.

Not to continue to pile on someone that is no longer in Miami, but I think Flores had something to do with the drafting...Especially Noah.

Agree. I thought Holland was likely a Flores guy as well. Pretty much any DB'S Miami drafted!
