Broncos Flacco Trade 1st Salvo In 2019 Draft

The Broncos trade for Flacco may end up workin in the Dolphins favor in the 2019 Draft


The 2019 Draft may land the Dolphins a QB?

With the 2019 Draft around the corner, Chris Grier, Marvin Allen, and Brian Flores are all clear to rebuild. But, it doesn’t mean the Miami Dolphins are in “tanking” mode. 

Phinsnews is split on which is best: M.J. wants a full rebuild and I lean towards more of a retool.

Like some Phinsnews fans, I think the addition of a quality Quarterback would make all the difference.

Coach Flores is coming fresh off a Super Bowl win with his Defense that shut down a Rams Offense that put up 32.9 PPG. The second best “O” in the league was manhandled by ‘scheme’ and play calls as much as talent.

Flores isn’t coming here with the intentions of losing willingly.

Bottom Line: You don’t need sports betting software providers like Ace Per Head to know that Miami needs to Draft a QB in this upcoming draft. 

I would love to see them draft one in the first round.

However, the talk is that Owner Steven Ross really loves Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa. But he won’t be available until the 2020 draft.

Ross’ love of Alabama’s QB is a big reason there has been chatter about the Dolphins tanking this season. A complete bust of the 2019 Season would give a clear shot at drafting Tua… but this might not end up the road they choose.

Don’t chew my head off, Tua is a promising young talent at the game’s most important position; BUT: Tua has had knee issues, so durability is a question. And then there was his performance in the bowl game against Clemson.

I’m not sold on Tua… yet.

But, with the Broncos trade for Joe Flacco, there’s a good chance Miami can land a QB in 2019. They are now in striking distance awith pieces to sell.

Should they part with Howard to move up? Would a bundle of picks be a better move?

If the Quarterback the Phins choose ends up elite… OF COURSE, it would. But, netting another Ryan Tannehill or even slightly better than him would be a disaster.

One of the Top QBs won’t be had with the 13th Overall Pick… unless a stud falls into their laps as it did with Minka and Tunsil

Can Miami afford to roll the dice on a miracle QB slide?

The current draft order of teams ahead of the Phins in the 1st RD:
  • Arizona Cardinals: Have a 1st Round Pick invested in Josh Rosen, but they could be a trading partner… it would cost the farm, though.
  • San Francisco 49ers: Locked into QB Garoppolo, but might trade the pick to a team desperate for a QB.
  • New York Jets: Darnold and Gase are BFFs, but they could trade the pick.
  • Oakland Raiders: Is Gruden high on Carr? The pick could be either used on a QB, another position or traded to a team looking for a signal caller
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Arians loves Winston, so a QB with this pick isn’t an option. But he could trade the pick. This is the lowest I see Miami moving to.
  • New York Giants: The 6th Pick is the first certain spot where a QB will be taken. Manning is the past. The Giants must make the future happen now. They could also move up to get the one they want.
  • Jacksonville Jaguars: This is a talented and veteran team, so a veteran QB like Foles makes the most sense. But they could also draft a QB as well. Not likely, but possible.
  • Detroit Lions: Stafford is the Lions Franchise QB, but trading out of this spot is a very real possibility.
  • Buffalo Bills: For better or worse, Allen is their QB going forward, but a team behind the Dolphins could move up to this spot and grab a QB… if a good one is still available.
  • Denver Broncos: Denver needs a QB, but the trade for Flacco makes it less likely that they move up to get one. They could still draft a QB at this spot… BUT, they have plenty of holes to fill.
  • Cincinnati Bengals: Dalton is their QB, but teams behind Miami could move up and take one.
  • Green Bay Packers: Rodgers is the QB here, but, as with Cincy, teams behind Miami could move up and take one.

The current situation doesn’t bode well for the Dolphins chances of landing a top tier QB in the 1st Round by standing pat.

There are four QB names floating around the Dolphins in the 1st Round:
  • Daniel Jones from Duke: Intelligent and accurate but lacking arm talent.
  • Dwayne Haskins from Ohio State: All the talents needed, but not mobile or experienced and rail-thin.
  • Drew Lock from Missouri: Exceptional arm talent and mobility, but poor mechanics and average accuracy.
  • Heisman trophy winner Kyler Murray from Oklahoma: Everything you’d want in a QB, but diminutive and there’s uncertainty about his commitment to football.


I like Miami’s chances with Dwayne Haskins and Kyler Murray the most. 

These two young men ‘appear’ to have the best chance at making an impact, selling tickets, and resuscitating the fan base. 

The Broncos acquisition of Flacco removes one team ahead of Miami from moving up. It also allows Grier the option of jumping just slightly ahead of Denver to get a QB that’s slipped. Miami has an excellent chance to at least get one of the Top four without selling the farm.

Still, as I said, I’m far less sold on Lock and Jones… at this point.

FACT: This team will never be relevant until we find ourselves a young franchise QB. Drafting a QB each and every year until we finally find a quality one must be the rule! 

Hopefully, we hit on one sooner rather than later…

… But you can’t find one till you pick one. Maybe someday we’ll thank John Elway for the trade?!

What are the rest of the Miami Dolphins News fans thoughts about what Miami will do in the upcoming draft in terms of QB?

    Remember this trade that turned sour?

    The Dolphins traded up all the way to the No. 3 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft to select Oregon defensive end/linebacker Dion Jordan on Thursday night. The Oakland Raiders, who previously held the No. 3 pick, received the Dolphins’ No. 12 overall pick and the No. 42 overall pick in the swap.

    It’s a stunning move. There were rumors throughout the pre-draft process that the Dolphins might be looking to move up in the draft, but the assumption was that the Dolphins were looking to move up for an offensive tackle. Instead, they found a bookend pass rusher to pair with Cameron Wake. Jordan is the ultimate new-school defender. He can play in space, he can rush the passer and he’s versatile enough to move all over the defensive formation.

    The Dolphins still had another second-round pick — No. 54 — to acquire offensive tackle Branden Albert from the Kansas City Chiefs. Trade talks for Albert will resume Friday morning. The Chiefs reportedly wanted the No. 42 pick in the trade, but that’s clearly out the window.

    This States we gave up a second round for Jordan? If that the price to moved into the 5th spot then it’s well worth the second round Brother?,Some team since then have given away the farm..

    The team was not sure if Jordan wanted to play football again in 2016 once his suspension was lifted. In all, Jordan had just three sacks in 26 career games and was one of the biggest draft gaffes in recent memory.

    Was there a safer move? Absolutely. The Dolphins could have simply held their ground and kept their original first- and second-round picks in 2013. There were plenty of standout players still on the board at No. 12 overall, most notably defensive tackles Sheldon Richardson and Star Lotulelei. Either pick would have saved the Dolphins a ton of money and cap room, because they wound up paying $114 million to fill that hole two years later in free agency with Ndamukong Suh. The team also lost a valuable second-round pick that could have been an additional building block for the future. Among the future Pro Bowl players Miami could have drafted in that round include linebacker Jamie Collins, running back Le’Veon Bell and tight end Travis Kelce. It’s worth noting that the team currently has question marks — albeit to different degrees — at all three of these aforementioned positions

    Admin Trevor Lawrence by far is the better QB, I Believed that he’s A Quarterback Prodigy. Back to the NFL Too often teams will stay with a Quarterback too long. We all have witnessed QB’s with less than seasons playing in the NFL making the play-off etc.

    I’m saying the QB’s either has it or they don’t. Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa is a very good QB But for the Dolphins Murray has it. Cardale Jones has it but not giving the opportunities and not playing in the right system he is a backup behind Philips Rivers also Taylor Cornelius has it. The QB for Oklahoma State possibly a 6th rounder maybe 7th rounder.

    There are QB’s who have no business being mentioned for consideration for the 1st,2nd or 3rd round But teams not doing there homework will draft them in the 1st maybe 2nd round. I hear the conversation already. We have luke Falk who was injured this passed season. He was know as the most accurate QB in College.

      I’m not really knowledgeable on college players, but the bowl game did lean me towards Trevor. Falk will be an interesting watch next year…
