5 positions that the Miami Dolphins could trade for that would make them unstoppable
By Brian Miller
While the Miami Dolphins are above average, great, or borderline elite at QB, WR, CB, and Safety, can someone please tell me why we are still using a RB by comittee approach?
This isn't about adding Dalvin Cook or trading for Jonathan Taylor or Josh Jacobs or any other running back. This is a question about committment to the position outside of the mid rounds.
Let us be 100% real here. The NFL doesn't put the same emphasis on the position as they have in the past but most NFL teams still draft a RB at some point in the first two rounds. This year the Dolphins added De'Von Achane to the roster in round three, the highest a RB has been taken since Daniel Thomas was drafted.
Miami has spent a lot of mid-round picks on guys like Myles Jackson, Lamar Miller, Jay Ajayi, and so on but they skip the top guys in their classes each year. Why?
Yes, paying for a name isn't what Chris Grier does but if the Dolphins believe they can be elite shouldn't they at least have a RB that is close to it? Or at the very least a workhorse that can be relied upon rather than moving guys in and out and taking them out of any rhythm?
For me, I look at this roster and I see a lot of quality tight end that is stacked in the secondary, or a piece here and there at WR or left tackle. Maybe a couple of edge rushers but there are holes on this roster that coaching and ego can't fix.
The Dolphins want to be elite, they need to get a lot better at TE, RT, LG, LB, and RB. They don't have to buy the best but they should invest in something better than average.
