If you are an NFL GM, how attractive would Miami be?

With the NYG...

We might have the bleakest outlook in the league for the foreseeable future.
I think ESPN did a “futures ranking” and the NYG were like 31 out of 32. Perhaps they weren’t that far off?

That is a little crazy. We have a ton of cap space, a QB who looks like he is a keeper and the best RB in the league...

A defense is tough to build, but we're not THAT screwed.

as long as Ownership was truly on board with building a winner. As new GM I would want my own coach though. Nothing against Flores, but, he will basically be coming off what has to be a HISTORICALLY awful season. Not sure I want the stench of the "tanking" carried over to the rebirth...

That said, the Dolphins could be looking at 3 1st rd picks in the top 15. I would look to drop down from one of those, and get multiple 2nd and 3rd round picks. With a complete rebuild on hand and a draft bounty this coming year and next year, I would load up on 1st-3rd round picks.. Take my chances there and not worry too much about getting 4th, 5th etc picks. If you can get 9-10 picks in the 1st three rounds and hit on 75% of those, you have a very solid group to work with.

The Dolphins need to spend $$$ on defense in FA (easiest thing to rebuild with FA) and draft heavily on Offensive Line, Quarterback and then Defensive Line/ Def play makers..

spot if you think about it. Should we struggle some and end up in top 10 of 1st rd we have options of selecting or trading down for more picks.

We have our QB (at least we sure think so), a superstar RB, a young attacking TE, LG and RG set, C pretty set, strong DT's, young secondary that needs playing time to develop.

With cap space we are in a pretty good spot as far as I am concerned.

All GM jobs are attractive.

I don't know who the hell is going to trade away the #1 pick. That kid from Clemson, Trevor Lawrence, is going to be freaking stud!

That all depends on Jones. If he's a top 15 QB, Giants are in good shape. They have a ton of cap room and a very young roster with all of the following playing their 3rd year or less (off the top of my head):

Jones
Barkley
Hernandez
Engram
Lawrence
Tomlinson
Hill
Carter
Baker
Love
Peppers
Ximenes
Ballentine

They still have a lot of holes obviously, but there's a solid amount of young (though largely unproven) talent on this team.

Be an attractive options for several reasons. The GM will have his pick of qbs in what should be a strong qb draft. Thereafter, he will have multiple first round picks to solidify other areas of need and/or acquire multiple other picks.

If it is done correctly and the proper qb selected, the Dolphins should be ascending as the Patriots dynasty finally comes to a close, which leaves the division wide open and potentially up for grabs every year.

Lastly, let's cool on the "we have our qb" talk. Right now, all we know is he was very good in the preseason. Lets seem him replicate that aspect, while continuing to improve in the regular season. The worst thing for him to be is Tannehill 2.0, because he's not bad enough to give up on immediately but also not good enough to win. If he is a legitimate top 10 franchise qb, then the Giants future will point upward.

of course. just saying often times a GM might walk into a shitty team, who is cap strapped and limited with draft picks and could be shitty for a while.

As Dolphins GM, it will be all on you (or mostly)

But Giants finish with a poor record and high draft pick they can trade down for a haul to a QB hungry team

Bengals. Steelers(possibly ). Panthers( cam) might not be resigned
Tampa Bay (who knows about Jamis )
Raiders

There are a lot of unproven names on that list, and the big if starts with whether or not Jones is the goods.

And even if all that pans out - you still have quite a few holes to fill, and that $60M is not going to go anywhere near as far as you think.

Right now, the Giants are in sad shape.

Lawrence doesn't come out till 2021.

Ownership will likely mandate that they keep Flores as a Head Coach and Flores is going to want a QB that runs Flores's system. If that does not match who the GM wants you are looking at issues.

Good point, one I missed from your first post - not trying to 'german' your thread brother.
