Dolphins acquire Julius Thomas

These are CANT MISS TEs

That is an overstatement at best. I bet you one flames out in 2-3 years and the other is a "serviceable" TE at best in career.

You just never know in the draft thats why getting a current player is a little safer. Yes you pay more but you have a better idea. This is why I would like to see them sign at least one good OG. They can fill one spot if needed but two would be tough if the draft fails to find them.

When I think of a "deep draft" at a position, I think of maybe 7 immediate NFL starters between Day One and Day Two.

Possibly but doesn't mean that they'll all be stars just serviceable....

The numbers are in:

Thomas, who was acquired in exchange for a seventh-round pick in next month’s draft, turned his contract into a two-year deal worth $12.2 million. According to a league source, $7.5 million of it is fully guaranteed.

Before redoing his contract, Thomas carried an $8.6 million cap hit for 2017 and was guaranteed $3 million of his $7.1 million salary for 2017, which included a $100,000 workout bonus. He was slated to make $8.6 million in 2018, and $9 million in 2019.

His salary dropped $1.5 million this season, $2.1 million in 2018, and he will no longer receive that $9 million in 2019.

I like it less risk.
