Speaker 1: To on remove Golin deep speed wins peas do.
Speaker 2: From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 1: This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield.
Speaker 2: He's got my advands in the playoffs. What is up,
Speaker 2: Dolph fans and welcome to the Drift Time Podcast. I
Speaker 2: am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, free
Speaker 2: agency kicks off in just a few hours. Wanted to
Speaker 2: get this Monday podcast out to you guys early so
Speaker 2: we could do a look at the top two hundred
Speaker 2: free agents.
Speaker 1: According to Pro Football Focus.
Speaker 2: And really the main reason for the episode was to
Speaker 2: do a mock off season for your Miami Dolphins. All
Speaker 2: of that plus some evaluations on the newest signings from
Speaker 2: the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Speaker 1: This is the Drive Time Podcast.
Speaker 2: So off the top here, we did do a little
Speaker 2: bit of a look at John us Smith's skill set
Speaker 2: and what he offers your Miami Dolphins. But I want
Speaker 2: to go a little bit deeper into that because I
Speaker 2: had a chance to grind that tape, baby, and we've
Speaker 2: talked about the yards after catch. What I really look
Speaker 2: at for John Newsmith's ability is to give you extra
Speaker 2: juice in certain situations on certain looks when you run
Speaker 2: your split flow action, which is in a direct counter to
Speaker 2: your outside zone game. And that's why Durham Smith got
Speaker 2: turned free so frequently last year out in the flat
Speaker 2: out in space. But this guy, this tight end can
Speaker 2: take that catch and run through a corner, sidestep a safety,
Speaker 2: and make big hay after the catch. Especially if you
Speaker 2: put a corner or a safety or a linebacker out
Speaker 2: and open space on him, He's probably gonna make them miss.
Speaker 2: So I think you can maximize your efficiency off of
Speaker 2: that play, off of that look, off of the overplay
Speaker 2: and really one of the bread and butter pieces of
Speaker 2: your offense. And for one more yards per play on
Speaker 2: that is like another first down per possession, maybe it's
Speaker 2: another point per possession like that can go a long
Speaker 2: way towards translating to big time success for the Dolphins offense.
Speaker 2: Because the seven point one yards per catch after the catch,
Speaker 2: I should say, is four point one yards more than
Speaker 2: what Dolphins tight ends averaged in twenty twenty three. That's
Speaker 2: a massive, massive jump. But his strength also translates as
Speaker 2: a route runner, He's not gonna get rerouted he's gonna
Speaker 2: give you a window where he can be the one
Speaker 2: that elevates for the football and a one on one
Speaker 2: situation in a contested catch situation. And what I love
Speaker 2: the most about this, I go back to the Buffalo game,
Speaker 2: to the Tennessee game. You know, absent Wattle and or
Speaker 2: Tyreek at various points of those games, and we had
Speaker 2: so many instances on third and six, third and eight,
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be, where the coverage was flooded
Speaker 2: to the perimeter to take care of Tyreek and Waddle
Speaker 2: and not I'm not saying outside the numbers, but the
Speaker 2: guys that lined up outside of the numbers, that's where
Speaker 2: the coverage went. And then inside we couldn't win one
Speaker 2: on one, whether it was Bracks and Barrios, Cedric Wilson,
Speaker 2: River Creaycraft, Chase Claypoold, whatever this guy can do that
Speaker 2: he can win those. In fact, last year, he moved
Speaker 2: the chains on sixty percent of his third down targets
Speaker 2: of six or few yards to go. He caught all
Speaker 2: five of the targets with third and seven plus, but
Speaker 2: only converted one of those into first downs and washing
Speaker 2: the tape. Those were kind of like checkdowns, but He's
Speaker 2: a valuable set, valuable piece in your checkdown game because
Speaker 2: not only do you have a chan and most are
Speaker 2: an ingold who can check the ball down to now
Speaker 2: you've got a tight end who can get rumbling and
Speaker 2: give you big yards. Reward you for taking the short stuff,
Speaker 2: taking what's there, taking what the umbrella coverage you know, removes,
Speaker 2: it affords you room underneath. This guy can reward you
Speaker 2: and really entice your quarterback to play that way. So
Speaker 2: I think it could be good for two in the
Speaker 2: sense that, hey, it's not gonna be a.
Speaker 1: Four yard game.
Speaker 2: It might be, but you're gonna every other play he's
Speaker 2: gonna break that tackle and give us twelve in a
Speaker 2: freshout of downs and back to first down, back to
Speaker 2: play action game like that. Efficiency can change the entire
Speaker 2: complexion of the offense. And I go back to the
Speaker 2: Falcon screen game last year. It was kind of the
Speaker 2: bread and of their offense with b John Robinson, with
Speaker 2: Drake London, with Kyle Pitts, with John hu Smith because
Speaker 2: why because desim Ritter was awful and that offense was
Speaker 2: the eleventh ranked offense in the NFL last year because
Speaker 2: of those skill guys and one of the reasons for
Speaker 2: that is they would put John hu Smith out to
Speaker 2: the weak side of the formation, like so a lot
Speaker 2: of times in coverage you're gonna have like you know,
Speaker 2: they're gonna show more bodies to the strength or more
Speaker 2: bodies to the week. If you're better receivers over there,
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be, they can overload like a
Speaker 2: three by two or a four by three in the backside.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be one on one or two on two,
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be. You're gonna have an even
Speaker 2: number on one particular side of the field. And you
Speaker 2: go back to the Titans game last year when Miami couldn't,
Speaker 2: you know, just couldn't do anything offensively. It's because they
Speaker 2: would pretty much vacate that backside and we wouldn't pay
Speaker 2: any mind. And that player could then also fit the
Speaker 2: run game on that backside and allow you to overload
Speaker 2: the front side. I think John new Smith takes away
Speaker 2: any viability of that.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Of course, it's up to a tongue Bai looa to
Speaker 2: see that stuff and improve and get better field vision
Speaker 2: to expand in those situation. But now he has a
Speaker 2: weapon that can exploit that. In fact that the Falcons
Speaker 2: threw him plenty of screens. I threw him thirteen screens.
Speaker 2: Two went uncomplete. They were grounded balls that Richard just
Speaker 2: kind of eight because it was covered very well. But
Speaker 2: he caught eleven of those thirteen screen passes and took
Speaker 2: him for a buck thirty six for two touchdowns and
Speaker 2: twelve point four yards per catch. Every screen you threw
Speaker 2: the guy, he got a first down and a couple
Speaker 2: extra yards for you right there. I think he adds
Speaker 2: a lot of balance that could help tilt the Miami
Speaker 2: offense or tilt the field, I should say, and exploit
Speaker 2: the space created by these speed and precision level passing
Speaker 2: offense that we already have and really forced teams to
Speaker 2: honor more parts of the field.
Speaker 1: And you can't turn him loose.
Speaker 2: You could turn Durham loose because you can chop him
Speaker 2: down after ten. If you turn Jonas Smith loose, he
Speaker 2: can hit you for sixty. I am a big, big
Speaker 2: fan of the signing. Plus it doesn't affect your compensatory
Speaker 2: formula if that's the route you want to take. The
Speaker 2: other signings that happened over the last couple of days
Speaker 2: Isaiah Mack and Deviantaya and Nixon. I have not had
Speaker 2: a chance to look into the tap too deeply, but
Speaker 2: think about those signings kind of in the Deshaun han
Speaker 2: Moold last year. Maybe a best case ten snaps a
Speaker 2: game kind of give your guys a breather once in
Speaker 2: a while. But that's kind of what you're looking at
Speaker 2: with those guys. All right, We are going to get
Speaker 2: to my mock off season here very shortly, but I
Speaker 2: want to peruse this PFF Top two hundred free agents
Speaker 2: ahead of today's noon legal tampering window that opens up
Speaker 2: in just a few hours. This podcast coming out at
Speaker 2: eight o'clock on a Monday morning. I thought it was
Speaker 2: important to get you guys in my simulation before the
Speaker 2: free agency began, because we're going to be ramping.
Speaker 1: This stuff up and have John who Smith podcast.
Speaker 2: He'll be in the studio, will break down his game
Speaker 2: even further for you guys, and every free agent that
Speaker 2: signs will do the exact same thing with those guys.
Speaker 2: So PFF has a top two hundred free agents list
Speaker 2: here and the top ten guys it's pretty much already
Speaker 2: been wiped out, and they don't remove guys that get tagged.
Speaker 1: They have them in there.
Speaker 2: I think it's more of a you know, I think
Speaker 2: it's more of like they're on the franchise tag, but
Speaker 2: they still could get, you know, contract extensions from those teams.
Speaker 2: And this is not the store that the Dolphins will
Speaker 2: be shopping in this year, right like, one through ten,
Speaker 2: Chris Jones, Kirk Cousins, Josh Allen from the Jags, T Higgins,
Speaker 2: Brian Burns, Justin Mattabwueke, Christian Wilkins is number seven, Antoine
Speaker 2: win Phil Jalen Johnson, and Lujerious Sneed. I mean, six
Speaker 2: of those guys got tags, right one of those guys
Speaker 2: got a contract, right like, So that's already you're not
Speaker 2: shopping in that store unless you bring back Christian Wilkins.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, I just don't see any point in
Speaker 2: doing that. And so if you're going in that list,
Speaker 2: Christian Wilkins seems to be your guy. I'm very curious
Speaker 2: see what happens with the Kirk Cousins because he's one
Speaker 2: of those quarterbacks he's kind of like to a very
Speaker 2: good player gets a ton of crap for whatever reason.
Speaker 2: In the next tier of got free agents here, Michael
Speaker 2: Pittman at number eleven. I mean the Colts I believe
Speaker 2: were toying with the idea or did they know they
Speaker 2: did franchise tag him as twenty one point four million dollars, Like,
Speaker 2: think about the value of that. That's why the receiver
Speaker 2: market in free agency is like, I don't know about this.
Speaker 2: I just don't know, because the draft always provides you incredibly,
Speaker 2: incredibly cheap talent and you might miss in that pick,
Speaker 2: but when you hit him, gosh, that is a big
Speaker 2: boon to get considering how much these receivers are making
Speaker 2: nowadays on the open market. Mike Evans also got resigned
Speaker 2: by the Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: He's in here.
Speaker 2: Daniil Hunter is an interesting edge prospect here. I've always
Speaker 2: liked his game and he kind of seems to fit
Speaker 2: that mold for what anything we were defensive front might
Speaker 2: look like, kind of in the same mold as like
Speaker 2: Jadevian Clowney. But again, I don't think we're spending in
Speaker 2: that category for that position because we just we have
Speaker 2: a lot of money tied up there and I think
Speaker 2: that Andrew van Ginkel will be coming back as well.
Speaker 2: That's my opinion. We'll see what happens there. Tyron Smith,
Speaker 2: he could be a Jet. I don't think we're the
Speaker 2: tackle market. Kendall Fuller's a cornerback. I think you could
Speaker 2: look at because of what I talked about on the
Speaker 2: Friday Show, with flexibility inside outside, maybe you take a
Speaker 2: look at expanding what Cam Smith can do, what Jalen
Speaker 2: Ramsey can do, what Javon Holland can do. Kendall Fuller
Speaker 2: is a kind of guy that can do that stuff.
Speaker 2: Leonard Williams in this group as well, Marquise Brown. Bryce
Speaker 2: Huff from the New York Jets. That's interesting, and the
Speaker 2: Jets probably dropped the ball on this because I think
Speaker 2: he was their best pass rusher.
Speaker 1: He's the one that.
Speaker 2: Gave by far, by far, Austin Jackson the most fits
Speaker 2: that he had last season, and Jermaine Johnson's not as
Speaker 2: good as Bryce Huff was. Will McDonald's know where near
Speaker 2: as good as Bryce Huff was. In fact, the reason
Speaker 2: that they have to say goodbye to Bryce Huff is
Speaker 2: so they can give reps to their first round draft
Speaker 2: pick at a position where they already had those guys
Speaker 2: and Carl Lawson and John Franklin Myers.
Speaker 1: They were loaded at best spot and they.
Speaker 2: Went way too heavy and now they're paying the price
Speaker 2: by having to let their best guy go so they
Speaker 2: can develop a guy behind him and not have a
Speaker 2: progress stopper in front of him. I wouldn't mind signing him,
Speaker 2: but again, I think he's out of our price range.
Speaker 2: Number nineteen, DJ Reader. It's probably the first name on
Speaker 2: this list that I look at as a possibility because
Speaker 2: if he gets out of Cincinnati and they have a
Speaker 2: bunch of mouths to feed, Gosh, he is phenomenal. He
Speaker 2: just goes places and impacts their defenses. Injuries have slowed
Speaker 2: him down the last couple of years, but my goodness,
Speaker 2: he is. He's like I mean, he's he's pretty much
Speaker 2: Michael Pierce or one of these Dalvin Tomlinson, a big
Speaker 2: time run stuffing defensive tackle with some good pass rush
Speaker 2: ability as well.
Speaker 1: So that's the I guess.
Speaker 2: Number twenty is Patrick Queens, So that rounds at the
Speaker 2: top twenty, and I don't think the Dolphins will be
Speaker 2: curious to, you know, explore that type of contract at
Speaker 2: that position, especially if you know Christian will because you're
Speaker 2: kind of like cutting off of your notes to spite
Speaker 2: your face, and that would ruin your camp formula if
Speaker 2: you did that. But Patrick Queen, I know, would be
Speaker 2: a nice addition to this defense if you can get him.
Speaker 2: Kyle Duggar has the transitional tags, we can go ahead
Speaker 2: and cross him off. Cameron Curl from the Commanders is
Speaker 2: an interesting name, but I look at the safety market
Speaker 2: and I'm not really that curious in buying guys off
Speaker 2: the open market. Give me a player that has been
Speaker 2: cut by his team, or bring back Deshaun Ellie because
Speaker 2: that the list of players is so so good. Trent Brown,
Speaker 2: Kevin Dotson from the Rams. I think Dotson got a
Speaker 2: contract already. Calvin Ridley, I'm not interested in that free
Speaker 2: agent contract. That's gonna be way too big. Mike Unwannho
Speaker 2: from the Patriots. If you are, if you're gonna lose
Speaker 2: Rob Hunt, that's kind of like an obvious replacement. Although
Speaker 2: I think he gets tackle money somewhere and goes and
Speaker 2: plays that position for somebody. He's kind of the top,
Speaker 2: like I guess tackle on the board because this year's
Speaker 2: tackle class besides Tyron Smith and Michael and Wan who
Speaker 2: not good at all.
Speaker 1: Cheetoh Woozie. I've always been a big fan of his game.
Speaker 2: I think he's kind of falling off his play a
Speaker 2: little bit lately, but he could be an interesting option
Speaker 2: there in terms of kind of that second tier cornerback
Speaker 2: contract if you want to go that route. I still
Speaker 2: curry favor to Darius Williams, who was cut by the
Speaker 2: Rams obviously, and again does not impact your camp formula.
Speaker 2: Robert Hunt checks in at twenty eight, Chase Young at
Speaker 2: twenty nine for the Niners. His effort level last year
Speaker 2: was not great, and then Sakuon Barkley at thirty Curious
Speaker 2: see what kind of market he has because he's been
Speaker 2: a really good player, but the running back position worse
Speaker 2: set there. Personally, I'm just curious see what these guys get.
Speaker 2: Speaking of running backs, thirty one's Josh Jacobs, Derek Henry
Speaker 2: thirty two. They kind of glut these guys together. I
Speaker 2: could see one of these guys winding up available in
Speaker 2: like training camp, and you could maybe use the Xaviing
Speaker 2: Howard money if you want for a one year, like
Speaker 2: five six million dollars deal, If you can get that
Speaker 2: pulled off, I would be curious to explore that, but
Speaker 2: otherwise I'm all straight there. Kevin Zeiler from the Ravens
Speaker 2: is getting older and more injured. They compare him to
Speaker 2: Josh Sinton. I'm kind of dubious on that. Stefan Gilmour.
Speaker 2: Frankie Luvu is a name that I really like his
Speaker 2: game from Carolina. I think that he's probably gonna get
Speaker 2: paid a little bit there. But he is definitely versatile
Speaker 2: and kind of has that range in the middle of
Speaker 2: the football field that you see from these top tier
Speaker 2: linebackers that really help teams take away the bread and
Speaker 2: butter passing game of what these offenses have become. A
Speaker 2: former Washington State cooper so Go Koos Steven Nelson from
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans is a curious tame to look at.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be one of those guys that gets like
Speaker 2: a you know, seven million per probably in that range.
Speaker 2: They compare him to Jason mccordy in twenty nineteen. He's
Speaker 2: he's been aging, but he was a great fit there
Speaker 2: for Demiko Ryans. You're gonna get a great character reference
Speaker 2: from Demico Ryans for you know, good friend Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 2: He always plays, He's always out there with off coverage
Speaker 2: and kind of zone. Looking back to the quarterback, I
Speaker 2: think he could be a viable veteran option that protects
Speaker 2: you against what Cam Smith is or is not. Next year,
Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz Texans already brought him back. Connor Williams is
Speaker 2: number thirty eight. This is gonna be an interesting market
Speaker 2: for Connor Williams. I would keep that door open personally,
Speaker 2: and think about the possibility if he doesn't get what
Speaker 2: he wants on the open market, maybe come back for
Speaker 2: a one year type of thing and get that ACL
Speaker 2: right and you have some good, you know, a good
Speaker 2: quality starter at center right there if you make that happen.
Speaker 2: But the ACL in week fourteen is is gonna make
Speaker 2: it really interesting to see what happens there.
Speaker 1: But I would not close that door.
Speaker 2: Jonathan Grenard from the Houston Texans, I just don't think
Speaker 2: we're in that edge market that high. And then Leavonte
Speaker 2: David is number forty for the Buccaneers, rounding out these
Speaker 2: top forty. That's a name that if it's going to
Speaker 2: be expensive because he's such a great player and he's
Speaker 2: still really really good even though PFF gave him their
Speaker 2: lowest grade last year. He's the kind of guy that
Speaker 2: can come in and kind of galvanize the middle of
Speaker 2: the defense. I still tend to say, don't spend too
Speaker 2: big at that position because it's not a premium spot
Speaker 2: and not for a guy that's like a one year
Speaker 2: super expensive player either. Right. Number forty one, Javian Clowney
Speaker 2: kicks off the forty through fifty list as the guy
Speaker 2: that I am very intrigued by. He's had tons of
Speaker 2: success under Anthony Weaver, and if it's again one of
Speaker 2: these one year mercenary deals that he's been signing lately,
Speaker 2: I would be all in on that to really help
Speaker 2: us get through September October fourth, Chubb wh Phillips come back,
Speaker 2: and then you have incredible depth when they do get
Speaker 2: back if they don't start the season, which I think
Speaker 2: JP's gonna start the season.
Speaker 1: By the way, just keep an eye on that.
Speaker 2: Number forty two. Kenny Moore is my favorite free agent
Speaker 2: in the slot, but can you afford it? We'll find
Speaker 2: out Zadarius Smith and the Browns. Xavier McKinney from the Giants. Again,
Speaker 2: not curious about the safety market there at least the
Speaker 2: guys that haven't been cut from their previous teams, like
Speaker 2: Justin Simmons is the guy that I'm.
Speaker 1: Curious to look into. Baker Mayfield here.
Speaker 2: Andre James from the Las Vegas Raiders is the top
Speaker 2: center besides Connor Williams on this list, and he kind
Speaker 2: of has some power and can really you know, he's
Speaker 2: gonna help your pass protection big time. He's just a's
Speaker 2: he can get out in space, but I think that
Speaker 2: his ability to anchor empowers where he has a little
Speaker 2: bit more strength over what Connor Williams was a year
Speaker 2: ago in pass protection. Number forty seven, Hunter Henry from
Speaker 2: the Patriots, the tight end. I've always liked his game,
Speaker 2: but how much does he have left in the tank?
Speaker 2: Makai Beckton at forty eight from the Jets is a
Speaker 2: tackle that, depending on how the market treats him, I
Speaker 2: would very be very interested in exploring because of the
Speaker 2: athletic ability, because the draft preedigree. You know, he's you know,
Speaker 2: he has the talent in that body. Can you unlock
Speaker 2: it here? Kind of the way Greg Robinson who was
Speaker 2: an absolute bust for the Rams, and he got drafted
Speaker 2: back in twenty like twelve whatever it was, two thousand
Speaker 2: and nine, I can't remember what year it was. And
Speaker 2: then he signed as a guard somewhere else and became
Speaker 2: a good player, but Makai Beckton, I'd be curious to
Speaker 2: take like a fly, a one year flyer on him
Speaker 2: if the market dictates that he doesn't really get the
Speaker 2: big payday. And then running out of the top fifty here,
Speaker 2: josh u Ja and Leonard Floyd for the Buffalo Bills
Speaker 2: and Patriots again the edge group, I just don't know.
Speaker 2: Clowney makes a lot of sense, but otherwise big money
Speaker 2: seems a little bit dubious there. Let's go ahead and
Speaker 2: take our first break, comeback on the other side and
Speaker 2: get through fifty through two hundred, go a little bit
Speaker 2: faster on that, and then give you my mock offseason
Speaker 2: and segment number three. That's all next Draft Time podcast,
Speaker 2: your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation.
Speaker 2: Segment two on the last podcast before the new league
Speaker 2: year kicks off or kicking Kicking, we're taking a look
Speaker 2: at the top two hundred free agents here on Pro
Speaker 2: Football Focus. Jordan Brooks is a linebacker that I think
Speaker 2: makes some sense at number fifty one here because right
Speaker 2: now it's David Long, who I think will be here
Speaker 2: for a long time. And then Channing tendall right, and
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to find someone else to start that position.
Speaker 2: So whether it's in the draft or free agency, it's
Speaker 2: probably a spot you look at. Of course, Jordan Brooks
Speaker 2: might cost little bit money which goes into the camp formula,
Speaker 2: so I kind of am dubious about that. But Jordan
Speaker 2: Brooks is a good football player. Next Grover Stewart. I
Speaker 2: love him as a possibility of a replacement if you
Speaker 2: lose Christian Wilkins. I think he's nasty and really really
Speaker 2: good in the run game to help free up those linebackers.
Speaker 1: Like it.
Speaker 2: David long Stone for the Ravens, they ran a lot
Speaker 2: of three safety defense last year. I think it's safe
Speaker 2: to assume that the an we was gonna run that
Speaker 2: here with Miami this season.
Speaker 1: And his comparison here is to Ron Harmon's.
Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense if you want to
Speaker 2: go with that big nickel safety package with Javon holland
Speaker 2: somebody else and Gino Smith Noah Famp. I think crossing
Speaker 2: him off after the John of Smith signing Jonah Williams,
Speaker 2: I thought he was rough last year. Tony Pollard did
Speaker 2: not have the same juice after Zeke left. Same with
Speaker 2: Austin Eckler.
Speaker 1: Who's looking old.
Speaker 2: Lloyd Cushionberry for the Broncos. Bobby Wagner for the Seahawks.
Speaker 2: Could be a name that I'm intrigued by again that
Speaker 2: like one year five, Like I'm cheap right, trying to
Speaker 2: think about cheap production. Federal experienced guys that have pelts
Speaker 2: in the wall, number sixty. Andrew van Ginkel. We'll talk
Speaker 2: about him in the in the mock offseason. Darnell Mooney,
Speaker 2: Jermaine Illuminoor. We're getting into the names here, right, Sheldon Rankins,
Speaker 2: Gabriel Gabe Davis is a guy at sixty four receiver
Speaker 2: that I've seen his name flashed a little bit. But
Speaker 2: again with the Johnami Smith move, like the size elements
Speaker 2: kind of been filled out there and the eligibles, plus
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis has like very little shake and very little
Speaker 2: wiggle to create separation and make big plays. Deniko Auxury
Speaker 2: is a guy that I like a lot from the
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans. As a free agent, he could be kind
Speaker 2: of your replacement as a guy that can play five technique,
Speaker 2: three technique eames in backside one Shade, Dalton Reisner, Julian
Speaker 2: Blackman from the Colts is a guy that I think
Speaker 2: is kind of that same mold as not so much
Speaker 2: g you know Smith, but I think that he would
Speaker 2: really parallel with Javon Holland if you want to go
Speaker 2: in that direction. He is a great playmaker on the
Speaker 2: back end. Jerome Baker gets in here. Ezra Cleveland's got
Speaker 2: a big contract. Tannehill is number seventy. Odell Beckham not
Speaker 2: in that in that camp. Number seventy two is he's
Speaker 2: Al Shaier another linebacker that I think can kind of
Speaker 2: be a Jerome Baker replacement, an early down linebacker, whereas
Speaker 2: David Long's You're kind of three down sub package linebacker.
Speaker 2: But maybe Al Shayer could be your base, and then
Speaker 2: maybe Channing Tendall's your kind of subpackage that replaces him.
Speaker 2: Could think about how to get you know, multiple jobs
Speaker 2: done with one or two guys there that you already have.
Speaker 2: Tierre Tart from the Titans, Fletcher Cox for the Eagles,
Speaker 2: Devin White for the Bucks. Devin White's a guy that
Speaker 2: I know. A certain podcaster rider told you that he
Speaker 2: was a difference in the Dolphins going to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: He also told you the Dolphins, if they sign Dalvin
Speaker 2: Cook could go to the Super Bowl. So but if
Speaker 2: you watch the tape, which he don't, you know, it's
Speaker 2: not a good player there that hasn't been a good
Speaker 2: on tape for a while. Tyler Boyd could be an
Speaker 2: interesting option. He could maybe be like that Keenan Allen,
Speaker 2: like veteran slot presence if you need it. Curtis Samuel
Speaker 2: from the Commanders is a guy that if we go
Speaker 2: on the receiver market, you know, jet sweep, backfield alignment,
Speaker 2: vertical speed. I like his game a lot. I mentioned
Speaker 2: Andre James earlier. Number seventy eight. Aaron Brewer for the
Speaker 2: Titans is a really good option to replace Connor Williams
Speaker 2: on the interior if you have to go in that direction.
Speaker 2: He's got some pelts, really tough scheme, versatile player. Josie
Speaker 2: Jewel has a linebacker option I think at number seventy
Speaker 2: nine there from the Broncos previous league.
Speaker 1: Kind of undersize though, which I don't love.
Speaker 2: Next David Long and then then into the eighties, Jordan Fuller,
Speaker 2: Blake Cashman, Drew Trankle was the guy that I think
Speaker 2: is kind of the same mold, and he was a cheap,
Speaker 2: you know, one year type of flyer for the Chiefs
Speaker 2: last year three million bucks. If you can get that
Speaker 2: deal for him again, I would love to sign up.
Speaker 2: Drew Trankle right now. Put it next David Long's let's
Speaker 2: freaking go. I think it's an upgrade over what you
Speaker 2: had last year, quite frankly. Adorri Jackson, Gerald Everett, Damian
Speaker 2: Lewis number eight. I know Kyle Krabs is a massive,
Speaker 2: massive fan of his. They kind of bruising, mauling, three
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty pound guard. They can give you more
Speaker 2: strength on the interior, which I think we need to
Speaker 2: get this offseason. Doris Armstrong Jordan Whitehead. No, thanks, Kendrick
Speaker 2: Bourne for the Patriots. I'm curious about it at the
Speaker 2: right price, but I think he might get a decent
Speaker 2: contract somewhere else, and I'd bebotter just go to the
Speaker 2: draft at receiver, but I like his game a lot
Speaker 2: in the fit here. Kalay Is Campbell another guy that
Speaker 2: I think could be your cheap, one year stop gap
Speaker 2: type of option.
Speaker 1: If he'll take it. We'll see what happens with him.
Speaker 2: Brandon Graham de Kwon Jones at ninety one, a guy
Speaker 2: from Buffalo that I've always been a big fan of his. Game,
Speaker 2: and he missed a ton of time last year and
Speaker 2: it really really impacted their defense. But I think that
Speaker 2: his ability to play from the zero tech all the
Speaker 2: way out to like a four eye, he can really
Speaker 2: kind of be that Christian Wilkins role if you can
Speaker 2: get that much snaps out of him. Gardner Minshew go
Speaker 2: Koog John running for the Packers, Tyler Biatis for the
Speaker 2: Cowboys as a center option. But if they're gonna go
Speaker 2: that route, I'd rather, you know, if you're gonna go
Speaker 2: that undersized, I'd rather just go back to Connor Williams,
Speaker 2: Jonah Jackson for the Lions, and Maurice Hurst for the Browns,
Speaker 2: Jordan Hicks for the Vikings, Coleman Shelton for the Rams,
Speaker 2: and then number one hundred, number niney nine is Quentin Jefferson,
Speaker 2: number one hundreds Carl Laston for the Jets. So it's
Speaker 2: there are some options there, but I think that we're
Speaker 2: probably looking more in this next classic guys like a
Speaker 2: Javon Kinlaw and that's you know, he's number one on
Speaker 2: one on this list, and he kind of fits that
Speaker 2: mold of like what I talked about with Mkai Beckton,
Speaker 2: where he could be a you know, first round pick
Speaker 2: didn't really work out. Maybe you can get him for
Speaker 2: a discount and see what he can prove in one season.
Speaker 1: His comp here they have is Jordan Phillips.
Speaker 2: I'd be happy to have a Jordan Phillips in the
Speaker 2: interior if we lose number ninety four, number one, O two, CJ. Gardner,
Speaker 2: Johnson Gosh. I love his game, injury issues, kind of
Speaker 2: a bit of a wild card, but if you can
Speaker 2: get him for cheap, I would absolutely put next Javon
Speaker 2: Holland and have the best playmaking safeties in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Mike Dane for the chief Shelby Harris. Let's go ahead
Speaker 2: and getrough this faster. I'll go to the listen and
Speaker 2: find guys. I like Willie Gaye number one of O
Speaker 2: six with the Chiefs. Again, we need a linebacker. I
Speaker 2: think that he has that range that you want in
Speaker 2: that position. Currious see what he gets on the open market.
Speaker 2: Just go ahead and keep scroll until I find names
Speaker 2: that I like on this list. John Simpson won twelve
Speaker 2: a guard for the Ravens. Pretty Much any offensive lineman
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to look at and what the market
Speaker 2: dictates and what they get. I think his ability to
Speaker 2: kind of just throw guys into the ground. He's one
Speaker 2: of those physical malers. I think, Miami, you need the space.
Speaker 2: I don't want to go away from the outside zone,
Speaker 2: but I think I want to get guys that can
Speaker 2: do a little bit of both, and I think Simpson
Speaker 2: has the chops to be that physical presence on the inside.
Speaker 2: Ashan Robinson won thirteen an interior defensive line for the Giants.
Speaker 2: He's kind of a we're looking on the interior lines,
Speaker 2: right That's kind of where we're at right now in
Speaker 2: the linebacker position. Keep on truck and here tackle Josh
Speaker 2: Jones from the Houston Texans could be an interesting, you know,
Speaker 2: swing tackle priority if you don't get Kendall lambback Michael
Speaker 2: Thomas is on the list. Josh Reynolds, Donovan Smith, the
Speaker 2: tackle for the Chiefs. I'm gonna pass on that he
Speaker 2: was rough a season to go. Austin Hooper. There's a
Speaker 2: Sickie one twenty one. Remember when sick He was a
Speaker 2: huge loss for the Dolphins. That's pretty funny. Rayquan Davis
Speaker 2: is one twenty two. Taekwon Lewis for the Colts. This
Speaker 2: could be the type of signing you look at and
Speaker 2: under the radar career, under the radar rusher wide nine
Speaker 2: type of skill set, can play your your NASCAR packages.
Speaker 2: He's a type of guy that I think could be
Speaker 2: depth and a valuable resource early in the year when
Speaker 2: we see what happens with two and fifteen coming back.
Speaker 2: So keep an eye on Taekwon Lewis for the Colts
Speaker 2: Umber one twenty three. Here on the PFF free agent list,
Speaker 2: a couple of offensive linemen George fant Won twenty six.
Speaker 2: I like him in that swing tackle role as well.
Speaker 2: Kyle Vanni played for the Ravens last year. Is he
Speaker 2: opened to a reunion with both the Dolphins and Anthony Weaver.
Speaker 2: It's not Brian Flora anymore, maybe he would be. I
Speaker 2: think he's still got some juice to think he's a
Speaker 2: good player. Jacobe Brissett's one twenty eight, Marcus Davenport, I
Speaker 2: like him in that kind of, you know, third rusher
Speaker 2: role as well.
Speaker 1: JK. Dobbins, I'd take a flyer on him if it's cheap.
Speaker 2: Obviously, all very very banged up throughout the course of
Speaker 2: his career, but gosh, he was a heck of a player.
Speaker 2: Devin Singletary, same thing about him. If it's cheap, I'm
Speaker 2: down running backs. You know, I think we're pretty good there.
Speaker 2: Jamis Winston, Evan Brown. I told you wasn't gonna Reaan
Speaker 2: the names off A. J. Dillon if you want the
Speaker 2: bruising back, but he was terrible last year for the backers.
Speaker 2: Zach Moss kind of has that physical bruising style as well.
Speaker 2: Nick Westbrook a Keene is a nice third receiver option,
Speaker 2: but for the cost of it, I just go in
Speaker 2: the drafts instead. To Sean Elliott checks in at one
Speaker 2: thirty eight to Sean Gibson. Here here's the safety run man.
Speaker 2: There's so many safety available in this year's free agency.
Speaker 2: Dj Wan Him from the Vikings, another one of those
Speaker 2: guys that can play that five technique, three techniques, some
Speaker 2: edge rush as well, and can be versatile to maybe
Speaker 2: give you some time to get two and fifteen back.
Speaker 2: But just continuing going down this list, I mean Darnell Savage.
Speaker 2: All these safeties, man, they're everywhere. Bud Duprees on there,
Speaker 2: Sean Murphy bunting the Titans cornerback. I like his ability
Speaker 2: to play both inside and outside as well. Didn't really
Speaker 2: work out for the Titans last year, but the Bucks
Speaker 2: previously he was really good there. He's a super super
Speaker 2: athlete who has some zone pelts on the wall, so
Speaker 2: a little bit of versatility there. Jeremy Chinn in their
Speaker 2: safety prospect from the Panthers, who didn't really fit last
Speaker 2: year and kind of got put on the bench, and
Speaker 2: I thought he was a guy that was gonna be
Speaker 2: a star in this league. Hasn't worked out that way.
Speaker 2: John Felician from the Niners is a free agent. There's
Speaker 2: some experience there with both Buffalo and the Niners in
Speaker 2: that familiar in the division and familiarity in the system
Speaker 2: with the Niners, so he's a curious option there. Micah
Speaker 2: Hides on the list, Tyrod Taylor, Cody Barton, Stamp Darnold,
Speaker 2: Drew Locke. Yeah, this is what I'm talking about. You're
Speaker 2: getting into the into the weed, Sebastian, Joseph Day. I
Speaker 2: think all defensive tackles or something you look at. But again,
Speaker 2: I kind of like the idea of going after the
Speaker 2: cut players. So yeah, this list is there's there's options.
Speaker 2: Man Centric Wilson one seventy one. Romeo Aquara from the
Speaker 2: Lions could be a good edge option there late tier
Speaker 2: three or tier two of free agency, the second wave
Speaker 2: maybe preferably beyond when you get the compensatory formula. Brandon
Speaker 2: Jones checks in at one seventy seven on the list
Speaker 2: right here, So yeah, there's options, man, I I don't
Speaker 2: think we need to finish this anymore.
Speaker 1: Jeff A.
Speaker 2: Kuda, Braxson Barrows is one ninety and for prosterity, oh,
Speaker 2: they've got two hundred and ten.
Speaker 1: Eddie Jackson's two ten.
Speaker 2: They added all these late guys that have been cut recently,
Speaker 2: so maybe they haven't put him in the slotting wise,
Speaker 2: but two hundred and ten players. So there's some options
Speaker 2: for you. We looked at all that. Let's go ahead
Speaker 2: and do the mock off season. On the third segment
Speaker 2: of the podcast that's Next Draft Time podcast, your host
Speaker 2: Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. You wait
Speaker 2: all year for this, right, not really, but let's go
Speaker 2: ahead and knock out a mock offseason. I saved it
Speaker 2: for today just ahead of the chaos, and let's go
Speaker 2: ahead and get right into it. So the Dolphins have
Speaker 2: already cut a manual Ogba, Exave Howard and Jerome Baker
Speaker 2: and keon crossing. So I went ahead and did that too.
Speaker 2: I did not use my franchise tech. What am I
Speaker 2: going to do, well, I'm going to extend the quarterback
Speaker 2: to a tongue by Lowa to drop that twenty twenty
Speaker 2: four cap hit to about seven million less from what
Speaker 2: it would have been on the fifth year option. Going
Speaker 2: to restructure Tyreek, Chubb and Ramsey declared an additional thirty
Speaker 2: two million dollars in cap space. That gets me twenty
Speaker 2: million give or take under the cap heading into freegency
Speaker 2: also want to extend both Waddle and Phillips.
Speaker 1: That's where that money should go.
Speaker 2: That you're saving, I think is the premium positions and
Speaker 2: premium players at those positions to reduce their twenty twenty
Speaker 2: four cap hits collectively twelve million dollars and also hopefully
Speaker 2: avoiding a you know, Wilkins situation where you know, and
Speaker 2: I can tell you that hesitancy with some of the
Speaker 2: current guys you know, Wilkins and Hunt. It's not because
Speaker 2: they're they are not letting seventeen and fifteen go anywhere,
Speaker 2: just FYI, but those are foundational building blocks at premium spots,
Speaker 2: and I have no interest in any other priority besides
Speaker 2: those guys. I'm a quarterback right now at this moment,
Speaker 2: So get.
Speaker 1: Those guys extended. Wilkins and Hunt Walked.
Speaker 2: I just think they are markets go beyond what the
Speaker 2: budgets would be in a I'm not I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: squeeze it for a final, you know, one and done.
Speaker 2: Let's let's see if we can make it run on
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four and then tear this thing down twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five and rebuild it.
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in that.
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and do with the Dolphins look like
Speaker 2: they're doing right now, and sustain this and draw it
Speaker 2: out and extend your what your window and your cycle
Speaker 2: here a little bit further by not getting yourself into
Speaker 2: the Mike tannembaumb you know situation you were a few
Speaker 2: years ago, and then be prioritizing the quarterback, the receiver,
Speaker 2: the edge. And see, I am making the assumption that
Speaker 2: I can improve a team on balance by getting more
Speaker 2: players with that money and seizing two mid round draft
Speaker 2: picks via the comp formula, which is a bit of
Speaker 2: a teaser of what we're gonna do here. I've cut
Speaker 2: Durham Smith is kind of my surprise me. I think here,
Speaker 2: I've also extended David Long in my fantasy fictional GM
Speaker 2: world here that I'm unwilling to you guys. So here's
Speaker 2: what I've got, Roughly thirty five million dollars in spending cash.
Speaker 2: I need about five or six for the rookie class.
Speaker 2: Could be more if we acquire more picks. I've got
Speaker 2: picks in rounds one, two, five, six times two two
Speaker 2: six round picks and seventh round pick. They are twenty one,
Speaker 2: fifty five, one fifty seven, one eighty six, two twenty
Speaker 2: and two thirty nine rate. Now I believe that's set
Speaker 2: in stone, I think, and again with my soon to
Speaker 2: be unveiled moves, I'm getting a third and fourth round
Speaker 2: com pick in twenty twenty five for Wilkins and Hunt.
Speaker 1: Who did I resign? Well, I did.
Speaker 2: I did bring back Elijah Campbell on the minimum, which
Speaker 2: is about what he got from the Dolphins. That was
Speaker 2: on my list before that signing happened. It's now official.
Speaker 2: It's in the list as well. Cray crafts same deal.
Speaker 2: I went one for three, one year for three for
Speaker 2: Nick Needham. I brought back Van Ginkle at two for fourteen,
Speaker 2: an annual apy of seven there and then if not
Speaker 2: Kendall Lamb at one for three if he wants to
Speaker 2: do it. George pant is my my exported free agent there,
Speaker 2: but Lamb, Van Ginkle, Needham, cray Craft and Campbell brought back,
Speaker 2: which means I had a lot of guys walk right.
Speaker 2: My roster going into it is Tua and White. I've
Speaker 2: also cut Skylar. I should have mentioned that only carrying
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks this year eight chan most certain Brooks, I
Speaker 2: cut Jeff Wilson as well. Also should have mentioned that
Speaker 2: I've got Hill, Waddle, Azukama, and I let Braxton, Claypool
Speaker 2: and Cedric al walk. At the tight end position. I've
Speaker 2: got John U. Smith, I've got Julian Hill, I've got
Speaker 2: Tanner Connor. I've also again cut durms Myth with three
Speaker 2: million dollar savings in a one throw one point three
Speaker 2: million dollar dead cap this year. At tackle, I've got Armstead, Jackson, Lamb,
Speaker 2: and Keon Smith. At guard or interior, I've got Eichenberg
Speaker 2: because hunt Win, Williams and Rob Jones all walked. On
Speaker 2: the defensive side, I've got Phillips, Chubb, Gink and good
Speaker 2: defensive tackles. I've got Seeler, Mack and Nixon. Of course,
Speaker 2: Raquon Davis walks. So you can see we have defensive
Speaker 2: tackle and guard and center needs right now, David Long
Speaker 2: and Chang tendall. The linebackers Jaylen Ramsey, Cohu cam Smith,
Speaker 2: Nick Needham, and Ethan Bonner on my corners, Javon Holland
Speaker 2: and Elijah Campbell are my safeties. As Brandon Jones was
Speaker 2: also granted his ability to walk. That means I have
Speaker 2: to find my interior offensive line. I need another receiver.
Speaker 2: I need a lot of help at defensive tackle and
Speaker 2: could use some help at linebacker and defensive back as well.
Speaker 2: So my free agents, keeping with the theme of spending
Speaker 2: in tier two and tier three of a non premium position,
Speaker 2: is to protect ourselves from inflation. Here's my sign, and
Speaker 2: there's lots of guys here that were cut. In fact,
Speaker 2: all of them are that Quandre Diggs, the Seahawks safety,
Speaker 2: love his game. I need a playmaker next to Javon Holland.
Speaker 2: He does that helps unlock Javon a little bit as well.
Speaker 2: Center Mitch Morse talk about physicality and toughness and a
Speaker 2: guy that's played in the bad weather in this division.
Speaker 2: He's a really good replacement there for Connor Williams. John
Speaker 2: hus Smith already in the building here with us Lake
Speaker 2: and Tomlinson, another guy that I'm bringing over as a
Speaker 2: former forty nine er who I'm going to get better
Speaker 2: production from than the Jets could because we are a
Speaker 2: better franchise in an organization and operation than the New York Jets.
Speaker 2: And then Daikwan Jones gives me a second Buffalo bill.
Speaker 2: So taking three guys from division rivals here and making
Speaker 2: my team better with him, that's just off the cut
Speaker 2: players list. I also actually added three more guys I
Speaker 2: mentioned Jadavian Clowney. I'm just assuming this can happen, but
Speaker 2: with who knows, but I have him in the summertime
Speaker 2: once the comp formula has been protected for a one year,
Speaker 2: Come be a mercenary type of contract. Come back to
Speaker 2: coach Weaver, who's coached you to four Pro Bowls in
Speaker 2: your career. I also brought in from Buffalo Tim Settle,
Speaker 2: He's my nose tackle piece there to help Sealer and
Speaker 2: Daikwon Jones. That's pretty much my entire rotation on the inside.
Speaker 2: And then con back Sean Murphy Bunting is coming over
Speaker 2: to help me with that position as well.
Speaker 1: So we have put a.
Speaker 2: Lot of time and resources into this. What does my
Speaker 2: roster look like right now?
Speaker 1: After that? Well, first we have to go in the draft.
Speaker 1: And what did I do in the draft?
Speaker 2: But traded way back into the second round with the
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: Will they do that? Who the hell knows.
Speaker 2: Actually the PFF Draft things said they're not interested in
Speaker 2: doing that trade, but I said, I'm forcing you to
Speaker 2: do it. So we got pick twenty one to Minnesota.
Speaker 2: Who's coming up to get Michael Pennox? And this is
Speaker 2: after Seattle moved back and entice the Vikings to jump them.
Speaker 2: And in the mock draft stimulator, they came up to
Speaker 2: get McCarthy. So, wet's go ahead and call it a quarterback?
Speaker 2: Will we get picked forty two, we get their second
Speaker 2: round pick next year, and we get picked one on
Speaker 2: nine in the fourth round. And so what I did
Speaker 2: was take with pick forty two wide receiver out of Michigan,
Speaker 2: Roman Wilson. I also took his teammate at pick fifty five,
Speaker 2: defensive back Mike Standers still from Michigan to absolute baller
Speaker 2: playmaker Temperature changer leader locker room presence those both those
Speaker 2: guys will be fit right in for the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: At one on nine.
Speaker 2: Kansas State guard Cooper beebe I took his teammate at
Speaker 2: one fifth seven tight end Benson Ote from Kansas State.
Speaker 2: One to eighty six Trevin Wallace, a linebacker from Kentucky
Speaker 2: who can flat out fly. At two twenty running back
Speaker 2: from Louisville, Isaac Grendo, he is four to three speed,
Speaker 2: and then two thirty nine tight end Brevian span Ford
Speaker 2: from the Minnesota Golden Golfers. So my roster now looks
Speaker 2: like this. At quarterback Tua and Mike White, no change there.
Speaker 2: At running back eight chan Moster, Brooks, Grendo and Ingold
Speaker 2: only one change. They're a rookie six round draft pick.
Speaker 2: At receiver Hill and Waddle, and then Roman Wilson and
Speaker 2: then Eric Azukama and River Craycraft. My tight end room
Speaker 2: has been almost completely remade. John hus Smith, Benson note,
Speaker 2: Brevin span Ford and Julian Hill are in that room
Speaker 2: for me. My tackles are Armstead, Jackson, Lamb and Keon
Speaker 2: sam As last year, my interior is Morse, Tomlinson, BB
Speaker 2: and Eikenberg, and I'm curious about maybe Isaiah Winn coming
Speaker 2: back at the same contract as last year for depth.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's a backup this year and doesn't have to
Speaker 2: be a starter. You can protect him against injury that way.
Speaker 2: But I'm going Morse Thomlinson, Biebe's a good start, and
Speaker 2: then Eikenberg my swing guy. Maybe I need a guy
Speaker 2: in there as well. On defense, Phillips, Chubb, Clowney, Gink
Speaker 2: and Good. That's the best edge group in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Baby on the interior sealer Daikwon Jones and Tim Settle.
Speaker 2: With the two guys we mentioned earlier the news Hignings,
Speaker 2: Mac and Wilson, Long, Tindall and Wallace the linebacker spot.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that in a minute, Ramsey Cohu, Sean Murphy, Bunting,
Speaker 2: Cam Smith, Nick Needham, Ethan Bonner and then Javon Holland,
Speaker 2: Quandre Digs, Mike Sandrastill, which is more of a slot
Speaker 2: than anything. So I got I really caught kind of
Speaker 2: over my skish at the cornerback spot, and then Elijah
Speaker 2: Campbell as well. So I've added picks and the second, third,
Speaker 2: and fourth round next year.
Speaker 1: Does that sound good? With the roster you just heard.
Speaker 2: I gave you three more picks in the first four rounds,
Speaker 2: the top one hundred picks in the draft, which gives
Speaker 2: us two of each of those. And then now we
Speaker 2: have all kinds of flexibility. If you know, if something
Speaker 2: doesn't happen this year, you can you can trade those
Speaker 2: picks and be aggressive. I've given you a restocked draft capital.
Speaker 2: And then of course when Anthony Weaver gets a head
Speaker 2: coaching job, we'll get third round picks in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five and twenty twenty six. The picks are coming, baby.
Speaker 2: Obviously we're a few guys short summer pickups. You'd things
Speaker 2: like that. My concerns are I went into the summer
Speaker 2: with the same edge guys and they're all off of injuries.
Speaker 2: But I'm approaching that like a summer ad. Once we
Speaker 2: get progress reports from those guys, maybe it has to
Speaker 2: suffer a little bit early in the year. Maybe we
Speaker 2: can find clowney. But either way, it's a dicey spot
Speaker 2: however you attack it. Changing three interior offensive lineman starts
Speaker 2: makes me very nervous, but I really wanted to make
Speaker 2: focus on making sure we had multiple capable bodies to
Speaker 2: replace Christian. I want another matchup piece on the back end,
Speaker 2: and I think Digs and sand were still is a
Speaker 2: phenomenal pairing to give Ramsey and Holland in the back end.
Speaker 2: You guys knew I wasn't gonna leave this thing without eligibles.
Speaker 2: Added a high draft pick at receiver and tight end,
Speaker 2: and I also signed the tight end which the Dolphins did,
Speaker 2: who I believe to be a massive upgrade over what
Speaker 2: we had the last few years, and John Hui Smith.
Speaker 2: I am deeply concerned about my linebackers, but that probably
Speaker 2: goes with Clowney in the summer and something we look
Speaker 2: at that time of the year, maybe even into September
Speaker 2: a cut down day. But with Tyndall and Wallace, I'm
Speaker 2: letting two superb athletes compete for playing time there and
Speaker 2: making them force me to go get somebody else if
Speaker 2: they can't, if they can't perform.
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's one route and way it
Speaker 1: could all go. Will it go that way? Not at all?
Speaker 2: Not even close. But it's fun to look at. I've
Speaker 2: been building towards this exercise. I hope you guys think
Speaker 2: I did a good enough job to keep my faux
Speaker 2: job as Dolphins GM.
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's it. That's all.
Speaker 2: Next time I talk to you, guys will be talking
Speaker 2: about free agent additions on the on the roster, probably
Speaker 2: talking to those editions as well here in the podcast studio.
