    Step in them!!!!

    I'm interested in knowing how Dolfans think this off-season should play out. I would also like to get to know some of you guys, considering I am new to this site.

    With that in mind, i'd like to propose we have some fun.
    You are to step into Jeff Ireland's shoes (yes, I know!) and pretend you are the Dolphins GM for a moment.

    In the interest of making this as simple as possible, I will make some rules.

    1. Assume all Dolphins unrestricted Free Agents are not resigned.
    2. You are allowed to sign only 2 Free Agents, anyone, regardless of how much money you think they will demand.
    3. You must specify which QB the team will put #1 on the depth chart.
    4. Any possible trade for the #2 overall pick must include at least 2 #1 picks, 1 #2 pick and 1 #3 pick. (A third #1 pick would equal the #2 and #3)
    5. Any other draft trade must be within realistic expectations.

    I don't know how this post will be received, so here's hoping for the best!

    Also, any suggestions are welcomed to be included in the rules.

    Alright sounds like a great and fun idea. And I am new here as well

    1. If our FA are not resigned then I would look for the draft to fill gaps in the DL, now that we are converting into a 4-3 defense. We have Odrick in the middle and Wake outside, but without Soliai we still might be set in the middle leaving us only with the middle DL

    2. We will have money to spend on FA's which I will clear up in step 3. I would spend the money a safety like Reggie Nelson, and even though I like Murtha' style on the OL he is injury prone so I go for the safe bet and get a RT in FA. Hopefully Gaither from the Chargers

    3. The qb for next season shall be the one, the only, RG3 Why? Well because signing a Free Agent qb like Manning and Flynn might end up being bad ideas. Manning may be healing from the injury, but that is short term. Once her retires we start from scratch at qb which would be terrible. Flynn could end up being the next Kevin Kolb. Either way we would be paying them a ton of money, which could be smaller if we draft RG3 and as a rookie he would get a smaller contract. Giving us more money for Free Agents to build around RG3 and making us rely on the draft next year less.

    4. As I said we get RG3, I would give away 2 or maybe even 3 1st rounders for the guy, and then throw in a second rounder or two in there. Everyone says he is the next vince young and he will fail, but he is a pass-first guy. His passing completion was higher then that of Andrew Luck this year. NO he is not the next Pat White, but he is a more accurate michael vick. He is a qb that comes around once in a long time, and he is a long term solution. I would give up what it takes to get him. Btw, Tannenhill is pure crap, and he will be if we use a top ten pick to draft him. Our previous draft picks have not been so great, and building teams in free agency have helped a ton. Draft RG3, build around with free agency. Top players in our team include wake, marshall, bush, dans by, burnett, all of which we signed and did not draft.

    5. The only other trade we make would probably to trade our 3rd rounder for a late 2nd, or something like that to try and get a pass rusher that would fir in the 4-3.
