I don't think they should or will throw any high picks out but looking around the league, who do you guys think they could add that would help? [Reply]

Maybe because the issues are at DE and LB? If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree….cmon man. [Reply]
It makes no sense to trade for a WR at this point in the season. It's not the offense, it's the defense that's killing us. Which non-playing WR would you cut to make room for him? That WR wouldn't have time to learn the playbook. If you make a trade, make it for someone that can make a tackle and stuff a hole. [Reply]

Yep.
They already added "that" piece on offense. It's up to Gordon to get himself on the field.
The need defensive ends like there's no tomorrow. [Reply]

I have no idea why he does this.
Andy is an academic when it comes to his offense. He values "book smarts". I personally don't think it's the best idea when you're talking about a sport that emphasizes speed and power but Andy values knowledge over just about everything else. [Reply]

Brandin Cooks would be amazing in this offense and he can seemingly pick up a playbook faster than any NFL player ever. But yeah I'd still have low confidence of ever seeing him on the field. [Reply]

Is that why we look talent-starved right now? [Reply]

That's just not true.
We have an elite QB and expect more offense than we are currently getting. We were scoring 30 pts a game during our Super Bowl years and we could basically score at will to control the game. We are struggling to get anywhere near than now. Especially with all the turnovers.
30+ pts tonight and the Giants game is a laugher.
If another WR settles Mahomes down and brings the power back to our offense, that does more for us than almost any Defensive player we could add.
We need:
#2 Possession WR
pass rushing DE
I doubt we add anyone of significance though. We have already passed up or failed at adding positions of need. [Reply]
Wouldn't be shocked if Odell is moved today (money is on Packers). Could be a similar situation to Miller where the Browns pay most of his salary for more return in draft capital. Odell's dad seems to think Baker is purposely holding Odell back...
As we embark on Deshaun Watson watch before today's 4 p.m. deadline, keep in mind #Dolphins would need to create $16M in cap space to fit in Watson's salary.
Miami has $1.8M in cap space, so that means players would either need to be traded, cut or restructured to make it work
