What veteran RB could we trade for?

[Swollcolb]

Day 3 of the draft is becoming the annual dolphins missed on top RBs, the sky is falling and then Grier trades a 5th for a veteran RB. So let’s look at some possible options. Melvin Gordon, Broncos made a move for Javonte Williams, Gordon has a big salary for average production. Not sure a 5th would be enough but he could be an option. Raheem Mostert 49ers (we love 9ers RBs) and they just selected Trey Sermon and Signed Wayne Gallman. Ronald Jones II I believe he’s in final year of his deal, they resigned Leonard Fournette who started to take over as RB1 for them and they drafted Keyshawn Vaughn early last year.

Trading for one would be a mistake, why give anything up for a guy another team doesnk't want. Just sign an old vet like Bell, Gurley, or Petersen and kick the can down the road another year.

Dude honestly I see them rolling with what they got or trying to land some undrafted rookie FA after the draft

none. We can still draft one today in the 5th round

i like melvin gordon.

no idea how much he's making.

they will probably draft an RB, bring in a couple UDFA RB, and see who gets cut post-draft, during TC, and when teams have to cut down to 53.

might also do some Practice Squad poaching, after we've seen some guys in pre-season, once those are set up.

That’s my preference too, Michael Carter or Kenny Gainwell would be great

The right RB will find the Dolphins at the right time.

The Oregon State kid oozes production.

 

[Dolfan Dave]

Myles Gaskins and Salvon Almed... get used to it.

 

[DPhinz_DPhinz]

Todd Gurley or Adrien Peterson on a one year contract. Next year, do it again.

Doubt either make it to the Dolphins next scheduled selection. But if they did, someone would swoop in the take them the pick before.

Once Harris, Etienne, and Williams were gone a high draft pick wasn’t worth the investment.

Miami can’t afford to take on much salary without making some significant cuts so trading for a vet is limited unless the other team picks up most of the salary like the Dolphins did with Flowers.

They may draft one today, but I see them bringing in lots of bodies into camp and survival of the fittest.

Maybe... but I am not excited with what's left at RB...not sure if the quality is much better than what we have....might be better to address other areas at this point with whatever picks we have left...

Forgot to mention the best trade option. James Robinson from Jags. They drafted Travis Ettiene and I’ve seen some people say Robinson may not be a scheme fit for jags new offense

We could and may but I don't know that it's a priority. Then again, any player selected from here on likely has an uphill climb to make the roster, regardless of position.

Was wondering if you had some sort of breakdown watching the draft?

Are you dealing with it alright?.....lol

Puke. A cheerleader could tackle Ahmed. Myles G is a good backup. Malcolm Brown is a slow slug.
