I just see Miami being more likely to stick with Tua than the Jets sticking with Darnold. 
 

I think CMC would be most enticing to the Dolphins  just because they are all ready a good team, he could be seen as that last piece, not to mention would be good for Tua’s development.

I think that is true, but I can see both happening.  The real question is if the Jets think Darnold can recover, can he do it with them or are things so far gone that he needs a complete change?  New York is a tough fan base, especially Jets fans who see buzzards circling constantly (and for pretty good reason).

All other things being equal, I think the Dolphins are more likely to hang onto the #3 pick.  They are close, and they may not have a chance to pick that high again for a while.  They can address needs at WR or OL in that spot in a major way. 

However (a word defined as disregard everything before this word), all other things are not equal.  The Dolphins also need a RB and I don't see them pulling that trigger at #3.  If they could parlay the #3 pick into CMC and the #8 pick, which will still get them a top-notch WR, OL, or LB (all needs for them) that would be a major win for them.  They also have their own #18 pick, and there should be some quality players available in their areas of need there, too. 

I really don't see the Dolphins moving on from Tua unless maybe they could get their hands on Watson at an acceptable price.  And you are right, potentially putting CMC and a top-tier WR with him could greatly enhance Tua's (or anybody's) development. 

The Dolphins are a lot closer than we are, and a heckuva lot closer than the Jets. That would mean they could potentially fill three positions of need with people who start from day one before the first round is over.  For a team that is close, that is hard to pass up.

      The issue is the position Bryce plays. Finding a good/great quarterback isn't easy. Plus, it sometimes takes years for these guys to actually become good/great. What you have to look for is progress instead of regression. Bryce has shown that. Can he put it all together? We don't know yet. But that's why you place a smaller bet with the 5th year option, and wait to see. You could be wrong and lose your 30 mil bet, but you didn't hitch your wagon long-term and lose much more.

      Absolutely not. That’s too much for replacement level player. Bryce may be that. Or he may turn into something more. If you can’t see the flashes, you’re willfully blind. There’s more bad than good right now, but there’s less bad than there was earlier in his career. He’s only 24 and he’s showing signs of improvement. He may never become consistent enough to justify a long term contract, but he’s shown enough to roll the dice on what effectively will turn into a 2 year, $30MM contract for the next two years to see if he can earn something longer.    Sure, in his one season starting, Howell managed to throw for 3,946 yards and toss 21 TDs, but it took throwing the ball an astounding 612 times. He also threw 21 INTs (for a particularly egregious 3.4 INT%). For all the talk of him being a deep ball thrower, he still only averaged 6.4 YPA, with an average air yards of 5.6 yards per attempt. And for all the excuses of Washington’s line giving him no protection (65 sacks taken that year), he was only pressured on 22.7% of his dropbacks, which is a few percentage points lower than what Bryce has had to deal with each year (24.2, 26.7, and 24.0%).    These are all numbers that are at best roughly equivalent to Bryce’s production the past two years. It’s wild to me people can claim so confidently that he’s a better QB.
