Yes, folks, time to bring out the iconic photo that was not AI created that best represents this organization. I’m going to tell you , and I think those of you that know me, right before this week, you can see I was relenting to pull myself out of the just absolute pure hatred and disdain for the guys running this team and I made the 180 and I was going to try and be hopeful that they could ace this draft and get this team to a point where we could compete this season. All that just went right down the drain with the Jalen Ramsey news that came out yesterday. Let me explain why this should really be the final nail in the coffin for these clowns, Ross, Grier and McDaniel.
Let’s start with March of 2022 when the Dolphins made a philosophical change and tried to buy a championship here in Miami. Keep in mind, and this very important, that the Dolphins had 2 players that they drafted and got to the point where they were becoming the best players on either side of the ball for this team, DT/DE Christian Wilkins that they drafted #13 in the 2019 draft. In 2020, the Dolphins took big Robert Hunt, OG from Louisiana in RD 2 #39. While these 2 players, Wilkins and Hunt are developing nicely, the Dolphins instead of preparing to reward 2 players that they actually hit on in the draft, developed, and were the two best players respectively on the defensive and offensive lines, they shifted towards making a quick ascent to the top by acquiring WR Tyreek Hill from the Chiefs in March of 2022. The Dolphins surrendered a boatload of picks to get Tyreek Hill, a 2022 1st RD pick (#29), a 2024 2nd RD pick (#50), 2023 4th RD and 6th RD picks in 2023. The following year, again in March of 2023, (Beware the Ides of March?), the Dolphins acquired DB Jalen Ramsey from the LA Rams. We didn’t give up much to get him, TE Hunter Long who could never get going here, and a 3rd RD pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Dolphins also traded for OLB Bradley Chubb, surrendering more draft capital, the Dolphins sending their 2023 1st RD pick, 1 2024 4th RD pick in exchange for Chubb and RB Chase Edmonds. Here’s where the biggest problem starts . . .
Chris Grier gives Jalen Ramsey a 3YR/$72.3M extension in September of 2024, this already after jettisoning both DT/DE Christian Wilkins and OG Robert Hunt. To recap, the Dolphins acquire 3 players, WR Tyreek Hill, DB Jalen Ramsey and OLB Bradley Chubb. Hill 28 years old, Ramsey 29 years old and Bradley Chubb 26 years old. They let go players they drafted and developed, and if you follow the Dolphins, you damn well know how few players we actually hit on in the draft, so they let go Wilkins, 28 heading into his second contract, and Robert Hunt 28 also heading into his second contract. So they decided to pay guys they acquired from other teams and pay them, give up loads of draft picks, and then say goodbye to two of the best guys you actually drafted. But that’s not even the kicker! The kicker is, you give DB Jalen Ramsey this 3 year extension for $74M, and then in April of 2025, you report that both the team and Jalen Ramsey have mutually agreed that he should seek a trade. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK!!!!!!!
7 months ago, Jalen Ramsey had no problem grabbing the money, and now he wants out? Listen, I’ve been telling you all this roster that Grier has cobbled together is a dumpster fire, basically just filling roster spots with low cost players that are available and fit into our compromised salary cap situation. That’s the story, we did it last season, but we got lucky on two fronts. Terron Armstead was a warrior and he played nearly the entire season on a bad leg. Equally as important, Grier totally lucked out with DT/DE Calais Campbell both being available and then signing with us, after bringing in a whole bunch of JAGS also on 1 year contracts that were one by one let go until Calais Campbell came on board. Sooooo, besides CB, where are the two biggest holes???? Wellll, whaddaya know Chris, DT/DE and OG!!! Hey, remember Christian Wilkins and Robert Hunt? Sure would be nice to have those guys!
Those are the some of the worst moves, but I haven’t discussed the other worst move. I fucking begged the Dolphins to play QB Tua Tagovailoa on his 5th year option. BEGGED!!! Every article I pleaded for some sanity and foresight. I hear the cries of the Tua defenders, “OMG, if he plays great, like he did in 2023, we’ll have to pay him a GAZILLION DOLLARS!!!!!” I told you 2023 was a mirage. He played the entire season in bubble wrap, was so careful not to get hit, and mind you, that’s Tua at his best, and he STILL COULDN’T BEAT A GOOD TEAM OR EVEN PLAY HALFWAY DECENT IN A PLAYOFF GAME!!! Let me ask you, if we played Tua on his 5th year contract, what do you think he would be worth right now after missing 6 games last season? Surely, NOT $212M!!!! So many mistakes, starting with trying to buy a championship acquiring other teams guys, then paying them, 3 YR/$74M for Ramsey, in 2024, the Dolphins restructured WR Tyreek Hill’s contract to a 3 YR/$90M winner. Tyreek Hill, the 30 year old WR who couldn’t even manage 1000 yards receiving last season. The very same Tyreek Hill who pulled himself from the season finale last season because he was frustrated, Team Captain Tyreek Hill.
Just to give you some more perspective on the shitshow that is unraveling before us, in GM Chris Grier’s press conference the other day, when asked about team leaders, Grier mentions Zach Sieler, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Alec Ingold and Austin Jackson. Who DOESN’T Grier mention? You guessed it, “The Frajeel”, the $212M crystal chandelier, QB Tua Tagovailoa. Completely omitted and forgotten. Does all this get Grier fired? I think we know the answer is probably no. Just as important, WTF does this team do going forward? Are we able to get decent compensation for Jalen Ramsey? If we can’t, does he stay here with the rest of the misfit toys on this roster? I swear I was starting to hope we could have a strong draft and then Grier goes ahead an opens up a huge hole in the defense with the Jalen Ramsey news. Just a tremendous clusterfuck, and really, so unfair to Dolphins fans. It really is.
Finsmob Unleashed 
Banks or Barron at 13 or trade down, anything less us unacceptable

On second thought, I do believe Membou has the largest bust potential of all top-1st round picks. I think the stej picked well!
Jets get Membou, Dolphins will trade back and take S Jerky McFuckface with spina bifida
Will trade up 2 spots giving away our 2nd and next years first
TET to Carolina! That’s GOOD for us!
Am I going to watch some 4 on 3 playoff hockey here after that kerfuffle?
Nope lol
It looked like everyone got a penalty LOL
Just the goalies skating out to center ice to pummel each other. 😂😆
thanks Carolina
Nice
Here’s where things are going to get VERY INTERESTING… starting with the Saints!
PLEASE TAKE SHEDEUR!!!
OR PLEASE TAKE AN EDGE PLAYER!!!
BUH bye leafs game
Though Vegas had started 😵💫
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
You’re killing your self, we can’t have them all.
Fuck
Top OL all gone
well I guess we aren’t taking an OL at 13
some people have mentioned Zabel.
on a trade back
Warren maybe to Bears
Hopefully Grief is on the phone.
It would be funny if he called you and you blew him off 🤪

I’m good, Bro. I just wanted as many options as possible for us. WALTER NOLEN is still out there, as is Will Johnson… and we can still trade down! 😉
Tim, we can’t have any of the ones that were picked. LOL
WOW! Colston Loveland is the 1st TE off the board?!!
That’s GRAND for us (pushing more talent down to us), but I feel like Tyler Warren just got snubbed!
Jerky McFuckface still on the board though
empty net
What is, the yield of Grief’s draft class this year?
😉
Nice
LOL
Kittle on last year of contract .. te ??
I thought about that as well… hmmmmm…
Dallas needs a WR could take Warren
Panthers WIN an exciting empty net ending 1-0 The defense mugged the shit out of the Lighting all night.
SKUNK
That are tough and stifling
Go wild 😎
Mykel Williams to the 49ers… GOOD!
Kewl
2-0
We’re gonna take Johnson or Barron, right? 🤮
Barron is ok, rather we traded
Tkachuk ties game for Ottawa
Tyler Booker to the Cowboys!!! YESSS!!!
Really ? Thought we wanted him ?
He’s immobile… not a ZBS fit, man.
👍👍 alrighty
Grerrr
WE’RE ON THE CLOCK!!!
Please, PLEASE don’t mess this up, Chris Grier…
Trade down if possible, just a few spots…
Wild score
Panthers get to go home for the next two and shut it out early and rest
Dolphins on the clock
And we go to commercial break!!!
Let’s do some follow up on the Dallas pick….
take your time to work out the trade
It IS an AFCE thing. Everyone to commercial
gonna be Barron
There are still a ton of player I would take.
Pick is in…oh commercial break. Happens every year
The puck is in
lol.. pick
Hockey on the Canadian’s mind 😆
Just a we bit lol🤏
get shorty
Always the long commercial when we’re up 😂
We should all agree to go to the draft as a fest one year and chant “GO TO COMMERCIAL” when they announce that our pick is in….
Kenneth Grant!!!
GOOD PICK!!!
big boy can run
There you go Rock
I think we like this
😄
OK
Nice!!!! Shocker!
Grant is a Ravensesque pick
Okay you guys have mentioned him, DT!
Got my DT
Check
I like it!
happy with the pick
could have been Jolan but I like Grant a lot too
Good pick
THERE goes Tyler Warren! Best of luck with the Colts, Tyler.
So relieved we took Grant and not a CB or S
^^^
me too. I like the DBs in this draft but we really need to builds up front
Still want him fired though….
We clearly tried to trade down but couldn’t find either a partner or the right comp, then went need with DT instead of BPA. I’m pleasantly surprised.
the upside is huge
Go Jets 🤟🏻
Doesn’t saying that make you want to vomit? lol
JBB, I expect you guys to win in 4 or 5. We made a good end season run to get in the playoffs, but you guys learned your lesson last year and I don’t expect a letdown.
We played you tough the 1st two games, but we just don’t have the firepower. I’ll be rooting for your boys to take it all.
we really have to get OL in the 2nd though
we might be able to move back in the 2nd and still get OL
Grant needs to get in shape and develop his game, but he could be a true dominant 2 gap player. Potentially a great pick.
I think the selection of Kenneth Grant screams WIN NOW! He’s a stud, he’s a player, and he’s (currently) quick AF for a man his size.
No way I’d make that selection if I’m building a team (a NT @ R1P13), but to me, it seems as though Grier is taking his job very seriously to preserve his job.
I really don’t hate the pick… I just question the longevity of a man Grant’s size/weight… it’s certainly NOT in Grant’s (or Grier’s) favor over the medium-long term.
To be certain, YES… I feel Grant can be an immediate impact player for us!!!
he’ll be a Fin for 5 years, who cares what he does in Minn, after his rookie contract is up
That IS one way to look at it!
If Ramsey indeed is leaving because of a personality conflict, we should bring up a report from Sportskeeda insider Tony Pauline, who wrote Thursday: “Multiple sources tell me the main reason is that Mike McDaniel has rubbed a lot of the veterans the wrong way after early success with the team, they’d rather play elsewhere than stay with Miami at this point.”
I hope the 🧁 has seen the reports
Man, if that is true, it can’t get much worse. Being a player’s coach is supposed to be his strength.
Clearly it depends on the player 🤣
Who are the veterans and who are the sources. These reports are just click bait it seems
👍
Really happy to read the good news on your procedure, BBM.
In any of your thousands of mock drafts, did you pick Grant at 13? 😉
“I’m a three-down player for sure,” Grant said Wednesday. “I can rush the passer with my strength and a little bit of finesse in there. Most guys think I’m just a run stopper, but I’m super athletic and can rush the passer.”
Pairing Grant with defensive tackle standout Zach Sieler would be a major boost to increasing Miami’s physicality against the run.
I agree kicked in
Fucker got his stick on it after the kick
I want to watch the whole round. Don’t think I can make it. Been on trial and have to be in court in the morning. Happy with the pick. Go Phins
Leafs win in OT
And there goes Walter Nolen, to the Cards @ R1P16.
M13,
I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Grant is an IDL. He’s not a NT. He can play from tackle to tackle. I have no idea why this pick means we’re going for it. Grant is not a guy who’s gonna step in and dominate. He’s got a lot of work to do.
He’s definitely replacing Wilkins, not playing NT. That’s Benito Jones
6’3″, 339 pounds. If we desire to make him a NT, he fits the bill if/when we run a 3-4 D: he’s a space-eater and he’s FAST. He is Dontari Poe.
If we’re running a standard 4-3 D-Line, then he’s our NG. Again, he’s a space-eater and he’s FAST. He is Dontari Poe.
JMO
I read that Miami came to Ramsey and asked him to take a pay cut after giving him another raise just that season. (Armando) and Ramsey was not interested in taking a pay cut because he didn’t think the team was good enough to win.
Okay need to settle down and take control of this game
2 goals in 4 mins?
Great sticks by Blues
“A tight-quarters mauler who has the potential to serve a dominant role in the heart of an NFL defense,” says Kyle Crabbs of 33rd Team. “Grant has a compact, powerful frame and offers explosive hands to jolt and reset the point of attack.”
That Stewart jersey looked too small for him. LOL
Grey Zabel to the Seahawks.
Zabel gone
M13,
I think Grant is actually a little soft physically. I think he needs to get into an NFL program and build himself up. He can lose about 10-15 in fat and gain the same in muscle. He’s potentially a true 2 gap player yes…but not just at nose. Think Jalen Carter.
I’m good with that! I think if he lost 10-15 in fat and gained the same in muscle, he could have a much longer career.
Believe me, I’m not dissing the pick… I like it! And I think Grant playing beside Sack Sieler is going to be NICE!
Broncos take Jahdae Barron.
WHO ARE THE STEALERS* GOING TO TAKE?!!
SO many have linked Jaxson Dart to the Stealers*… will they take him over Shedeur?
Well this is not going well
Sanders ?? Or does the fall continue
The fall continues!
Derrick Harmon???
Stealers* Nation is going to RIOT tonight!
😜
The Ravens like big physical DL and Weaver took on that approach but it’s not that unique. Be studs inside and let edge and quick defenders feast.
^
RBs have regained their value.
Grant has blocked a lot of kicks, is known for batting down passes, gets TFL, and even intercepts the ball … all show agility.
His personality will mesh well with Sieler.
He’s only 21. He can lose that baby fat and not stay pudgy. He’s already lost 28 pounds down from 359.
I like the pick and we needed a big DT. Other teams really wanted him.
Naples!!!
Good to see ya here again!
Thanks.
Go Dolphins.
lots of OGs to pick from in 2nd
should be CB
One less … don’t recall seeing his name
G-Men just traded up to R1P25 from the Texans!
QB, right?
Gmen QB
Giants jump Rams for qb
Sanders I think yes
Either Sanders or Jaxson Dart, methinks…
Good call
I had NO idea he was a Star Wars geek like me!
hoping to get Savaaiieenneaeia for OG in the 2nd
Jaxson Dart!
Deion, what a tool, no one wants your ass in their bldg
