I'm with this NFL Executive. Having draft picks doesn't mean anything unless you pick the right guys. Miami can't be picking Charles Harris or DeVante Parker in Rd 1. Or Raekwon McMillian or Mike Gesicki in Round 2. Must do better than that or else this trade is an F grade https://t.co/PAM9pSsoB7

Many feel the Dolphins have won this trade but time will tell on that. Compiling a lot of draft picks is one thing, hitting on them is another. Miami’s recent history of hitting on draft picks has been lack-luster to say the least. Chris Grier and Brian Flores have exactly what they want now, a way to shape this organization in their image. If they fail they have no one to blame but themselves. With over $120 million in salary cap space and double picks in almost every round in 2020 and in roudns 1 and 2 in 2021 the Dolphins will be able to fill the now empty cupboard with talent and talent they want.

Kenny Stills being involved in this trade is one thing that is not being talked about. While Stills was a productive wide receiver for the Dolphins and did tremendous work off the field, his latest public shot at Dolphins owner Stephen Ross played a factor int his trade. As well as the fact Miami cleared $8 million in salary cap space by moving on from him.
2019 is bound to be a very painful season for the Dolphins as the team really is built to win anywhere between 0-3 games. Any more than 3 wins might be a miracle with the talent this team has on its roster right now. But looking ahead brighter days should be on the horizon. It’s just going to be a long wait.
Wow…whomever is at QB is going to get pummeled !! Perhaps Fitz and Rosen now ask for trades !
what a deal getting a so so replacement for Tunsil and three high draft choices also got rid of Stills This year may suck but what a potential rebuild. two high draft choices added to the 10 we already have WOW
Use 1 of those picks and go get Melvin Gordon
