Just two of the many ways they couldve gone but refused to.

With that, the Colts win and the Dolphind get their official notice of being eliminated from playoff contention. Deserved.

Josh Allen is a different kind of beast. No comparison. Stop.
He had zero accuracy and was close to busting by some. He was coached up and had a great year. Bills added some weapons and voila he improved. Tua was rated more highly than Allan coming in only the injury made him fall. You need to be realistic and give the kid some rope. They'll surround him with more talent and give him a normal off-season then we'll know more.
Until then relax.

Call it a hunch but I think Tua reminds people why he was one of the top QBs in the country coming out of college.
It's not like he can't throw a deep pass. He won a national championship on a deep pass in his freshman year.

Go Fins! Go get that W. The playoffs are waiting.

It was a good thought.....

Dolphins draft another QB or keep Tua as # 1?

Who do you think you’ll take? I’ve seen a lot of mocks that say JaMarr Chase but I can see Penei Sewell as well at the three spot.

I’m not against taking another QB as you should always have a few especially if Fitz leaves. Hedge your bets as well. But I wouldn’t take one at 3 either late in the first or second max even a little later would be best.

Jax still has life 20-14...and even more importantly Texans losing.
Problem is teams ahead of Miami's first pick could all go after QB,

Then go Davonta Smith or Pitts
Fins don't need to be drafting a TE in high rounds this coming draft, see no value in Pitts, esp in first round, other needs are present.

Yeah I know but they would keep Pats from getting him... But the Dolphins are doing things right player wise so they will be smart in this draft

I think if he is there, take Sewell. I'm not sure what the Oline situation is this offseason, will they lose any due to FA and contract demands, but you usually can't have too many good O-linemen. They do need some O talent to help Tua, so WR or RB at 18th pick should be considered. Having 4 picks in top 50 spots is great for a 10-6 team. I guess another option would be to trade the #3 pick to get a lower #1 round pick and another 2nd round pick?? just hope Flores as some say in the pick.

Forgot about Sewell. That's a solid pick!

I can't see them going QB at 3 maybe later in the draft as Fitz will probably be gone and it doesn't hurt to hedge your bets. They just need to build that O now. If they stay at 3 Sewell wouldn't be horrible but if they feel comfortable with the growth of the oline they may trade back a bit and acquire more picks. At that point they could go WR or pass rusher depending on who's there. Will be interesting.

If they don't love anyone at 3 I can see them trading back. I'd be shocked if they went QB there...

I am more confident in the Dolphins drafting well compared to the Patriots...

That could be good or bad because it may make a QB desperate team offer the farm to move up or allow a player to fall to Miami. They could have their ultimate pick land in their arms.

I’d be shocked as well. I figured another lineman to protect Tua or another playmaker to put on the other side of Parker. But trading down for more picks wouldn’t be a bad idea if the price is right.

Here are two stats that will tell the story that, while the Dolphins gave u[ a huge amount of yards on defense, the offense was simply inefficient in their chances. And they had plenty.

Total amount of offensive plays run 80-54 in favor of the Dolphins
Time of possesion 32:38 vs 27:22 in favor of the Dolphins

3-14 on third down conversions for the Dolphins offense.

Inefficient on offense. Stats dont lie.

They first have to identify who that "ultimate pick is" Hopefully a QB.
