Let’s assume we end the season terrible and have a Top 6 pick. What moves in free agency and/or the draft would you be hoping the team makes? We seem to have quite a bit of cap space going in to next season. I personally would be looking to sign a bigger WR free agent like Tee Higgins or “medium” one like Gabe Davis. Thoughts?
If MHJ is there, you take him. Go OL with next picks
With a young QB, you grab a LT. If we hit on that, the left side could be solidified for a decade (since we got Skronk).
We still have Hop under contract so then maybe grab a WR second.
I understand people say a WR can hide weaknesses but it’s better than patching a line. If we wanna do this right, protect the QB first.
Welp. I appreciate the responses, but maybe I just won’t post anymore. Seems anything I respond to gets downvoted for no obvious reason.
LT in the first is a must. Might be unpopular, but honestly another OL in the 2nd wouldn’t be a bad idea either. Then draft some defense (CB, pass rush are the biggest needs imo). Definitely pick up a CB in free agency, and maybe Tee Higgins or Mike Evans if it makes sense.
Draft:
DON’T TRADE UP.
R1: MHJ, or if not there, best LT available.
R2: Best speed WR available (or LT if we somehow get MHJ)
R4: best CB available
The rest: solid role players, no gambling. Draft needs from this point on (in order): C/RG/RT, LB, S. Keep an eye out for Will Reichard, K, Alabama, in the 6th or 7th.
Free Agency pickups money priority goes to (in order): Edge (many options), CB, C/RG/RT, WR, RG, LB. Only make a big WR splash if there’s fuel left in the tank. Don’t get Tee Higgins - he doesn’t have the hamstrings for it. Try Tyler Boyd or Michael Pittman.
Re-signing priority (in order): Deandre Hopkins, Denico Autry, Derrick Henry, then everyone else. Lowball Fulton.
Release Wesco. Release Tannehill, or lowball Tannehill and release Willis.
