I'm all for trading for proven players but that is a bit much for Waddle.

Waddle and a 4th rounder to Denver for their 1st, 3rd and a 4th. Seems like a bunch.

Too much.

Dolphins better hit on a WR pick or they just dropped all that money on Malik Willis to watch him throw to Tutu Atwell.

They now have 7 of the first 93 picks including 2 firsts a second and 4 thirds. This is a new group doing the draft for them so let's see how they do.

way too much. lol way way too much, IMO.

It's most likely cause it's a late first round pick (#30). So it's not nearly as valued as a top 15 or so pick, which is most likely why the other picks were added in, is my guess.

"Hollywood" Brown signs a one-year pittance with the Eagles for $6.5 Million.

I would have done that trade, no way you are getting a rookie with his talent. In fact, the players in this draft don't look to exciting anyway.

But we will see

Yeah, that's not great.

They're rebuilding so they don't need to fill all their needs in one season. It's not like they're going to contend for the SB.

This draft is insanely deep at WR

Yeah, but you may want to give your new shiny QB some actual players to maybe help him and his confidence rather than throw him out there with a bunch of WR4s. I know, crazy idea. 😂

So you think we can get an All Pro receiver in this draft at pick #27?

Why not? Pro Bowl and All-Pros are picked all over the draft and sometimes undrafted.

This! Every draft is loaded with WR talent.

I've never been a fan of drafting a QB high before you have a decent team to support him. Using a top 5 pick on a QB when you have no weapons and a poor O line is a recipe for disaster. Several talented young QBs have failed because they got drafted by bad teams that never got the players to support them. Unless the QB is one of the so called generational guys then use those high picks to build the infrastructure and then draft a QB. I know they traded for Willis but he's nothing special from what we've seen. He'll be 26 when the season starts and he's only thrown 155 passes. If he was really a great prospect I doubt he would have been traded.

Willis was actually signed as a free agent. May have only attempted 155 passes, did complete almost 70%, and is also a decent runner. Granted,its only a small sample size. Still need to give him every opportunity to succeed and Miami has done the exact opposite.
