Please.

Not that this would be enough, but it would mark major improvements in areas of need. Still need CB and RB help, and I’d like to see more OL depth because we were remarkably healthy at OL last year and can’t take it for granted.

Would you consider Likely and Pitts? To me it would show a lack of faith in Sinnott, but a definite ambition.

What about that RB in FA, like Hall or Walker, instead of the draft? A CB in FA?

Signing both Likely and Pitts feels like you're giving upon Sinnott completely, as I don't see Bates going anywhere (and he shouldn't). I would lean more towards Likely for the simple fact that I expect he'd be a lot cheaper, and while Pitts is the better player, a combo of Likely, Sinnott and Bates with a bit more $$ to spend on D where we really need the help would be my preference.

For RB, Hall would be great, but he'll be the most expensive FA RB, I think. I think Rico Dowdle is underrated, and he'd love to stick it to Dallas 2X per year. And I think he's a decent pass catching back too.

I think RB is need. I don’t know what to make of Breece Hall. I’m unsure if he is legit. I like Rico, but his price just soared.

I really believe our new OC is going to want the run the ball at a more consistent clip…I’m really interested who he believes is RB1 next year. It’s as important as who he chooses is TE1.

Just think, he gets reset RB1, TE1 and WR2. Skill position choices on offense are gonna be super interesting this offseason

Do you think that brings Love into the conversation with the #7 pick? Any other year I'd be happy with a freak at RB or WR, but with so many needs on D...

I'd like to see Hall, Dowdle or Walker signed. Whichever would make a real 1-2 punch with Bill. I only have slight reservations on Dowdle and Walkers injury histories, but they've both been good last season.

Honestly no. I don’t see a team taking at RB in the top 10 with so many needs

I love Love but tend to agree. Kid is crazy athletic and talented, but he's definitely not a bulldozer NFL back who can carry the rock 30x plus a game for an extended period of time. Think he goes 1st round though. Think Jadarian Price will be a good pro also.

I agree with all this. I cannot see AP using #7 on a RB -- not with premium D players available and the train wreck that was our D last year.

Teams (Atlanta/Detroit) that have top 10 RB picks didn't make the playoffs last year. I think one thing is constant. If you don't have a top tier defense, you are wasting your time in the regular season.

Dolphins release Tyreek Hill:

Will be interesting to see where he lands and the rest of his career. He was hurt nearly the entire 2025.
