2016: Ryan Tannehill
2017: Jay Cutler
2018: Ryan Tannehill
2019: Josh Rosen (2nd round pick)
2020: Ryan Fitzpatrick
2021- 2026: Tua Tagovailoa (5th overall)

10 years later and Chris Grier still hasn’t acquired a franchise quarterback.

Dolphins roster construction has long focused on small, speed-based rosters designed for warm weather.

They then get pummelled later in the year when forced to play physical, smash-mouth football in freezing cold temperatures.

JES has the right mindset.

🎥 Jon-Eric Sullivan on the physical profile he is looking to draft: "It's important to me that this team looks a certain, and moves a certain way. I believe it's a big man's game... we want to build this team big, physical on all positions." (@MiamiDolphins) #PhinsUp

My guess is the Bengals get 1-2 years of elite production from Dexter before he falls off a cliff.

• 340 lbs
• 28 yrs old
• 70% of snaps lol

[Warren Sharp @SharpFootball]

some thoughts on Lawrence to Cincy...

<buckle up>

Dexter Lawrence is a 28-year old stud

he spent most of his career playing vs elite interior OLs of the Eagles & Cowboys

he's been double-teamed at the highest rate in the NFL

he's now playing in the AFC North

Ravens lost their C
Steelers might start a 42-yr old QB
Browns have Deshaun or Shedeur

Lawrence should FEAST

the Giants were TERRIBLE when he wasn't on the field

last year, even in a "down" year for Lawrence:

Giants defense with...

Dexter Lawrence OFF the field:

#32 YPA (8.4)
#31 sack rate (4.1%)
#27 EPA/pass (+0.13)
#26 pass success (47%)
#23 pressure rate (32%)

Dexter Lawrence ON the field:

#7 pass success (40%)
#8 YPA (6.6)
#9 sack rate (7.7%)
#10 EPA/pass (+0.09)
#22 pressure rate (33%)

that was a "down" year for Dexter

the team was top-10 vs the pass when he was out there

bottom-10 when he wasn't

want a larger sample?

last 3 years:

Dexter Lawrence OFF the field:

#32 YPA (7.7)
#31 pressure rate (29%)
#31 pass success (48%)
#30 EPA/pass (+0.14)
#30 sack rate (5.5%)

Dexter Lawrence ON the field:

#8 pass success (42%)
#8 sack rate (7.4%)
#10 EPA/pass (+0.02)
#13 YPA (7.0)
#15 pressure rate (36%)

and again, the context is VITAL:

he was obviously the #1 best player on the Giants defense

every team knew it

they double teamed him at the #1 highest rate and he STILL made this big of a difference

and that was despite playing some of the NFL's top offensive lines in the NFC East as it relates tot he Eagles and Cowboys for YEARS

oh, and then there's this pretty ridiculous nugget:

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

The Giants won this trade.

[NFL @NFL]

TRADE: Bengals trading for DT Dexter Lawrence in a deal that includes the No. 10 overall pick heading to the Giants. (via @rapsheet, @mikegarafolo)

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

Trade down.

[Omar Kelly @OmarKelly]

My first official mock draft for the Miami Dolphins.

Draft work starts Monday

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

Which is why the Dolphins shouldn’t necessarily target G and WR.

BPA every round.

[Joe Schad @schadjoe]

Add a G and a WR and they’re fine

Bigger concern at moment is Dolphins D

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

@KingOfPhinland Need to go BPA. Guard and WR can be figured out over the next 3 years.

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

@Achilles_Val Also very down for Smith.

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

2026

Cinema.

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

@mbryanl Sutton is WR1.

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

The Broncos gave away a 1st and a 3rd for a 27 yr old (28 in Nov) WR2.

BO NIX
JK DOBBINS

JAYLEN WADDLE
COURTLAND SUTTON

TROY FRANKLIN
MARVIN MIMS JR.
PAT BRYANT

The Broncos offense is absolutely LOADED 🤯

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

Yeah

[Brett Kollmann @BrettKollmann]

I interpret it as it really just being a two year deal and they're hedging their bets.

If Willis doesn't work out - fine. He'll be the bridge guy and they can get out of it after 2027 anyway, and they'll just draft a guy 13 months from now who sits on the bench for a year.

But if he DOES work out despite this lack of supporting cast, then they know they really do have a guy and they use their 2026 pick in a loaded class to improve the situation.

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

Malik Willis signs 3-year contract (most of guaranteed money front-loaded in yrs 1-2).

2026: Tasked with filling roster spot and securing top 5 pick.

2027: Start and mentor the QB drafted.

2028: Cut him, eat the $13M dead cap hit, hand the keys to rookie QB.

[SleeperNFL @SleeperNFL]

The Dolphins WR room consists of:

Malik Washington
Jalen Tolbert
Tutu Atwell
Theo Wease

Get Malik Willis some help man 😭

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

@JohnnyUtah305 Waddle’s barely a WR1

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

A 1st and a 3rd for Jaylen Waddle.

[Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero]

Full trade:

Broncos get Waddle and Dolphins’ 4th-round pick (11th in round) in this year’s draft.

Dolphins get: 1st round pick (30th overall) along with late 3rd and 4th round picks (30th in each round) in this year’s draft.

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

Man, I’m gonna miss Jaylen Waddle’s recurring injuries and signature bobbled drops.

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

Ex-Packers front office and DC has opportunity to get QB they’ve seen practice daily—outside of top-15 positional contract in play.

“We rather bet on our future than bet on his talent”

[Joe Schad @schadjoe]

It’s no secret we are restrained salary cap wise. You can get creative and do almost anything. We also need to get back into a healthy salary cap state.

- Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan, asked if deleting Tua and adding Malik Willis is financially feasible

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

We’re getting a 1st for Jaylen Waddle.

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

The #Dolphins have hired former #Titans GM Jon Robinson as their new Senior Personnel Executive, per me and @TomPelissero.

A key voice for GM Jon-Eric Sullivan, as Miami beefs up its front office.

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

The Jaelan Phillips trade netted Miami a top 90 pick.

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

Eagles upcoming games:

5-2-1 Packers (A)
5-3 Lions (H)
3-4-1 Cowboys (A)
5-3 Bears (H)
6-3 Chargers
6-2 Bills (A)

The Eagles are 6-2.

5 teams in NFC have 6 wins.

1st round bye not guaranteed whatsoever.

High upside of trade: 1st round knockout, Miami gets top 90 pick.

[Hard Rock Bet @HardRockBet]

The AFC East would be scared of this offense

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

@Timosu2 Think you are overvaluing the QB position.

Still need a good roster to win.

[Clown Football🤡🏈 @ClownFootball_]

Other FA’s have more value imo

• Cor’Dale Flott (CB)

• Nick Cross (S)

• Leo Chenal (LB)

• Micah McFadden (LB)

• Kennth Gainwell (RB)

• Rodger McCreary (CB)

• Alontae Taylor (CB)

Can probably get a few of these guys for the price of Malik Willis.

[Tyler DeSena @desena_tyler]

Okay fine, new question. Reply so I can see the consensus.

Why do you NOT want Malik Willis on a two year deal?
