2024 Free agency and draft thread

[Southieinnc]

Is it time to kick up the 'Dolphins are rebuilding again' topic?

I would think so!

Miami Dolphins Rebuilding - Again

New coach, 45 new players on roster as Dolphins again reboot The Dolphins have a new coach, a $160 million DonkeyKong Suh that likes to freelance, A Dion Jordan coming back from a year suspension, and a torn-up Achilles on Wake. Is this the year for the Dolphins?

"At what point does the firework factory burn down? Tyreek Hill is coming off his most impactful season as a pro but also just turned 30 years old. Raheem Mostert is 32 and free agent signee Odell Beckham Jr. will be 32 in November. De’Von Achane averaged nearly eight yards per carry as a rookie but only played 300 snaps thanks to injury.

The offensive line that cleared a path for a league high 5.1 yards per carry has to replace two thirds of its interior starters now that Robert Hunt and Connor Williams are no longer on the roster (Hunt is the more significant loss there). What happens if opposing defenses catch on to McDaniel’s wizardry and shut down the fast-acting passing game that served Tagovailoa so well (his 2.26 seconds from snap to throw were lowest in the NFL) and force him to cycle through his progressions on a regular basis?"

Ryan Tanneyhill going to be watching preseason intently looking for a QB to go down with an injury and have his agent call the team at halftime.

I feel that what the Dolphins have on offense is pretty typical turnover with most teams. Probably entering the year with two question marks in pass protection and one in run blocking. Seems like a median oline with potential to be good. If Hill and and Waddle are lining up at WR thats about as good as anyone else. RB position has high upside, low floor.

I'd actually say CB position is in the same boat with Fuller and Ramsey both flirting with 30. Calais Campbell seems like he has to regress at some point, too, but if he doesn't thats a big piece. Not hard to imagine the defense kind falling apart.

Still, if we're talking about Dolphins, its a conversation about Tua. Good player. Franchise QB?
