Lions Do Not Franchise Tag Kenny Golladay

[EDGECRUSHER]

In local circles, he is our #1 free agent target. Could be a bidding war, all it takes is one stupid team to go 30% over market value and it screws it up for everyone. However, if we have money to spend, rather it on him than Aaron Jones. Sign him and draft a WR at #3 and our unit just became fierce.

Or Sign Golladay and then draft Sewell...and both areas of your offense is improved. Add a second WR (Amon-Ra, Terrace Marshall, Kadarius Toney) in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Cap room and draft picks give us options. There are many scenarios that I would be happy with, including trading down but at this point I would rather keep the pick unless someone gives us a Bill O'Brien offer.

At this point, I would be happy with a number of scenarios for Miami on draft day, but let there be no mistake...any of my best case scenarios always start out with Pennei Sewell.

Ereck Flowers basically signed a 2 year deal as he only has $1 Million of guaranteed money after this season. Isaiah is a nice luxury to have but by no means should he be in our 2021 plans to the point we won't make other moves. Thinking of ways we can draft both Sewell and one of the Top 3 WRs but that would cost a 1st and 2nd, might be worth it.

There are plenty of other O-Line options at the bottom of the first round and/or the top of the second round.  This draft seems to be top heavy with OTs with Sewell being the cream of a rich crop.  Look what I did in my mock draft simulator.  There's a realistic chance that could very well happen.  Keep in mind the D-Line needs to be shored up as well.

I don't see it that deep, and the gap between Sewell and the rest seems like a significant margin. At the risk of being charged with Felony Hubris, which do you want...a basic solid starter at OT, or do you want Orlando Fucking Pace manning the line for the next 10 years.

This class has a clear leader at each of the OL positions. The best C is Creed Humphrey, the best OG is Wyatt Davis and the best OT is Pennei Sewell.

Miami has the opportunity to add at least 1-2 extreme OL difference-makers. After hearing Dolphins fans complain about the O-line for years, here is your opportunity to address it the way it should be addressed.

Where do you see Creed Humphrey being drafted?

Earliest I see him mocked is mid-1 to Arizona, latest is usually first half of round 2.

Since I am already guilty of hubris, imagine having Orlando Pace AND Dwight Stephenson manning your line for the next 10 years...

It's not just about talent, but cap flexibility. The prices of O-Linemen are so insane it's basically a housing bubble right now. Makes sense to draft the more expensive positions and use free agency on the less expensive. If we bought a Top 10 O-Linemen at each of the 5 positions, that could be around $75 Million a year. Can't be like the Cowboys and use up 40% of your cap on just a few players.

This is the 3rd receiver I've seen linked to Miami, after JuJu and TY Hilton.

JuJu is too pricey and too much of a headache, TY would be a decent contributor but he can't be our main acquisition. Kenny has been rumored to go to Miami for awhile now, he is probably our #1 free agent target. We sign him and we can draft Penell or pretend like we will draft Penell and ransom the pick to the Bengals and then draft a WR.

While I agree with your points on the classic leaders, I respectfully disagree that the gap between Sewell and the other OT's is pretty significant.  You can grab a Rashawn Slater or Christian Darrisaw mid round 1 or even an Alex Leatherwood, Jalen Mayfield, or Sam Cosami at the top of round 2 and still get a solid anchor at LT/RT.  

And I never said the draft was deep with OTs.  But when six or seven are slated to go in the first two rounds, that definitely makes it top heavy

If we pass on Sewell with the early 1st, then I will immediately begin lighting candles for Darrisaw. I consider him the #2 OT in this class. Slater is fine, but I think most of his value comes from his positional versatility.

Yes, there are "solid" OTs that can be had in round 2. I was just hoping for something a little higher up the scale than solid to protect Tua.

Mock Trade that isn't too unrealistic:

Trade back to 4 with the Falcons and pick up a 2nd and 3rd. They will pay since other teams want to draft a QB too and that inflates the price. Draft Sewell at 4, then grab the 6th pick from Philly in exchange for our #18 and the 2nd and 3rd we just got. Might have to throw in another 3rd rounder or so. Use that pick to draft whichever WR the Bengals didn't draft.

I will email Chris Grier immediately.
