As a Dolphan I'm pissed. Most likely ANOTHER in a long, long string of Dolphin Draft Disasters.
Flores, or Grier, or whoever was behind it, got way too cute with their trades. The two of them both have chips on their shoulders and are trying too hard to look smart.
Instead of staying pat at #3 and taking Kyle Pitts, who would've been the PERFECT compliment for Tua, we trade down to 12, then package some of those picks to move back up to #6, and what we netted from the deal was a third-round(!) pick next year, and San Francisco's first-round pick the year after that (2023).
Then when we pick at #6 and have the choice of reuniting Tua with either Smith or Waddle, we choose Waddle, who is the smaller and (probably) more injury-prone of the two. Most mock drafts I saw had Smith going before Waddle.
Then we get to our second first-round pick, #18, and take Jaelan Phillips, an edge rusher from UM who NOBODY had going that high. Again, this is Flores and/or Grier trying to show that they have some special insight. :rolleyes: All they did was outsmart themselves.
Dolphins should've stayed at #3 and taken Kyle Pitts, then Bama RB Najee Harris at #18.
Instead we got Jaylen Waddle and Jaelan Phillips, so we now lead the league in players whose mothers didn't know how to spell Jalen.
