Dolphin Drought

Looking at teams stock-piled with talent such as the packers, cowboys, vikings, and steelers. Turnover on staff and a revolving door of schemes. Starting from the top ownership changing hands, no direction from a football standpoint. Dan Marino being the ultimate politician thinks better of tarnishing his good name in Miami steps down as V.P. of  football operations in one day. Nick Saban also took the back door exit stage left. Parcells name hijacks the team and everyone acted as if the Messiah had returned when his Dallas team still has done nothing. It's all about talent evaluation. Let coaches coach. Shot ourselves in the foot a numerous number of times. Without a QB since Marino retired, the team hasn;t even drafted one in the first round. Alternate routes led us to Jay Fiedler, trading a second round pick for A.J. Feely, Ray Lucas, and etc; The problem with this team isn't Chad Henne it was an inferior supporting cast. Trading for Brandon Marshall best move they've done in centuries. Davone Bess being the only other player on this offense that can consistently get open. Fasano was fine til he lost confidence against the Falcons in the opener with those 2 costly fumbles, hasn't been the same since. The tight end is the Qb's security blanket to move the chains and clear space over the middle so it's harder to double outside. Numerous great tight ends out there, we are in desperate need of one. Personnel for 3-4 is pivotal and our front 7 is still not where it needs to be to run this scheme. Solai emerged this year due to Jason Ferguson's suspension and subsequent retirement. Furthermore, the Dolphins have been torched by tight ends week in and week out. The Dansby signing was great, but missed out on Antrel Rolle by 5 million to the N.Y. Giants. Leadership on this defense is coming with strong play from Vontae Davis the lone bright spot on the secondary. Defense needs to create takeaways and we lack the playmakers to compete. First order of  business get rid of Ronnie and Ricky. Rb by comittee will be just fine til we get a home-run threat like Adrian Peterson or Chris Johnson, there always gems at the Rb position. At our draft position we're looking at twin brother to Marcus Pouncey he solidified and stabilized a horrific Steeler offensive line. Second round pick vacated due to the trade for Marshall, so i would definetely try to trade down like they did a year ago to recoup that second round pick and with plenty of talent in the first round this is the route I'd go, but  they still need a dance partner. Team needs-RB,LB, DT,TE,WR, OG or C. Via the draft or free agency the dolphins don't have enough bandaids to fill all their needs so enjoy the Pats, and Jets atop the division next year and the Bills will definetely creep up the rearview with their drafting of a Franchise Qb, already having RB in place with C.J. Spiller, Stevie Johnson and Lee Evans at WR and Shawn Nelson at TE.
