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.

      89 on The Pivot

      Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy.

      Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.

      This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
