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 
Tua can change his uni # to 0 after this season for ZERO playoff wins
“That’s your IQ buddy”
Best wishes and results today BBMike!
Speaking of hockey:
GO WILD!!!!
Yes well done 👍👍👍 much rather play you than Colorado or Edmonton 😎
girls gone wild have no chance
FN McShay, i can feel it, something big is about to happen…and big trade coming
when I get that feeling I take a dump
then he says, there’s whispers someone’s in love with Sheduer
and then there’s Shefty with his informed detail of all 32. Yeah, what all 32 want you to blast
Wishing BBMike all the best.
I think our first pick is gonna be Jahdae Barron at 13.
I do as well
I hope BBM gets the BEST news possible today!
What I’ve seen over the years is fans get so caught up with mocks and specific names that if their team doesn’t draft who they’ve been talking about for months it’s automatically a bad pick.
YES
thinking positive thoughts BBM
Sending positive thoughts your way BBM!!
Mike E,
I love your articles, and I hope you don’t get burnt out by this dumpster fire of a team. I’m right with you on all of the mistakes. It seems like no one in management anywhere has a pair of balls. The NCAA absolutely caved to media pressure and college sports is a dumpster fire now.
Our team, and others, fold to any pressure about paying players. None of these overpaid divas are worth the trouble. The absolute best players never seem to cause issues and yet we see teams overpay players that will never replicate that one great year because they feel like they will get destroyed in the media…who has zero say in them keeping their jobs. Outside of Philly that is. I’ve heard nonstop for over 2 years that Philly needs to get rid of Sirianni. Dude is the best coach in the game not named Andy Reid. And he’s got a weaker QB which would preclude them from winning anything if you listened to the media experts. Philly has kept their top-notch HC and they were rewarded.
I don’t consider our team a dumpster fire. Two playoff appearances two years in a row and then just falling short. Do you remember the playoff droughts we once had?
if Kelvin Banks Jr is there at 13, we need to pull the trigger
our biggest problem on O has been picking up short yardage first downs, Banks would change that in a hurry
my comp is Larry Allen 90s Cowboys
I also like Grey Zabel
Tim – look at the Mets. Since Steve Cohen took over, look how exciting they are! The same could potentially happen here, with or without Ross selling. You have to make a change though. Thank goodness for the Mets, they’ll get me through the summer and fall, then I’ll be forced to watch this team again
Exactly! We were dead last year before June and nobody saw the run they made coming. 😉
It seems to me like you want to stay with Grier and MM though. I think k they need to go so strongly
It’s more about I don’t really know. The Mets currently have the best record in the majors. 🙂
PFN changed something. I can’t copy my drafts anymore. I can’t even highlight them to copy.
That might be one of the worst things I ever heard. 🤪
😂
LMFAO!!!
Rock,
I had the same thing a few weeks ago . It takes a bunch of tries.
I think I killed this one. I traded right out of the first round, picked up picked up #65 a first round pick next year and a 5th round pick next year.
34. Kenneth Grant DT Michigan
48. Wyatt Milum OG West Virginia

Tim, I’m still laughing!
😂
I copied them as I made them and pasted them one at a time. GFYS
Montreal and Washington are 0-0 with just over 6 minutes left in the 1st period of tonight’s first NHL playoff game. Next-up is the Dallas Stars at the Colorado Avalanche in a much more attractive meeting of legitimate CUP contenders. MIKE E., gotta disagree with ya regarding someone sharp like Steve Cohen taking over from Steve Ross. IF Cohen really is SHARP, he probably doesn’t associate with a senile doofus who has taken a decent franchise and run it into the ground!! I sure as hell DON’T BELIEVE Cohen wants anything to do with the Dolphins, especially since Ross will demand way too much money for what’s left of what used to be a solid franchise!!
Rock – thank God you fixed it, I was terribly worried for you
🤣
SEE you guys tomorrow. Off to watch more playoff hockey. Best wishes to all of you!
OD – I wasn’t saying Steve Cohen wants anything to do with the Dolphins, just that change of management could make a difference like the Mets did
Rock how do I know you really did that draft? You could have just typed those names in and said you drafted them
Shedeur reminds me of Bryce Young. That’s not a complement.
He seems arrogant and entitled .
cant promise it’s myself last one
in the 5th some one gave me 3 others 5s to move up…lol
other than that – no trades here
7 Round – 1 Team: Mock Draft
I’ll take this one all day!

Absolutely agreed.
Prayers up for a great result for BBMike today!
^^^^^^^^^^
I will be glad when the draft is over. I’m not too excited to see how it is going to effect my commute these next couple days! Lol
Oh yeah! The Draft IS being held close to you! Didn’t think about that!
This has been in the news and counting down everywhere since last draft. Hope it goes well. Lambeau really is an anomaly and on so many people’s bucket list.
I will be watching from home. the dog freaking out with fireworks they are already doing there tonight. Hahaha
Dang… I hope your doggy survives the Draft, bud. I know how fireworks can REALLY freak dogs out.
LOL… here’s what I’ve got, y’all!
— HOPING for a slight trade down from R1P13 and get the BPA
— PREDICTING that we’re going to select CB Will Johnson @ R1P13
— THINKING that Kelvin Banks would be the best and safest option @ R1P13
— VOMITING at the thought of Jahdae Barron or a Safety @ R1P13
— DRAFTING WALTER NOLEN @ R1P13
hoping not having to go kick some puppies afterwards!
Same here, Bro! LOL
MY FINAL
@MF13SS
MY 2025 #MiamiDolphins Draft
R1P13: W Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
R2P48: W Milum, OT/OG, WVU
R3P98: A Mukuba, S, Tex
R4P116: M Dotson, CB, KU
R4P135: JJ Pegues, DT, Ole Miss
R5P150: J Conyers, TE, TT
R5P155: M Moore, S, Ala
R7P224: D Gabriel, QB, Oregon
R7P231: J Higgins, LB, Iowa
R7P253: O Gadsden II, TE/WR, Syracuse
UDFA: A West, G, Western Michigan
POST-DRAFT FA: B Scherff, G
My only fear: Mukuba is going to go in the late 2nd round or early 3rd round.
I don’t think makuba is going to be there at 98
Barron runs 4.39, his highlights show him playing mostly on the outside
he does have a rep against Brock Bowers, where he deflects the pass
why do they call him a slot CB?
I’d say he projects well to start outside in NFL
if we pick at 13 he’ll be the pick I predict
I’m fully prepared to be frustrated as fuck tonight. Daniel Jeremiah’s final Mock Draft has us trading back and taking S Malaki Starks at Pick #20. Great concept trading back, but for fucks sakes a Safety first?
It’s easy for mocksters to predict picks when a team loses a player in FA. We lost Holland so we’re going to draft a safety. That’s not necessarily how it works.
^
Happy draft day bitches!!! BBM made it through fine. I actually had a cyst on my thymus and another mass. He got everything out using robotics. That technology is so impressive.
glad to hear that Mike!
WordPress sucks when using the phone. Anyway, I should get the chest tube out and be home for the draft. Sitting still I have no pain at all which is surprising though when I take a deep breath it hurts like hell. The hospital food here is actually pretty good
wordPress sucks. I’ve done lost three paragraphs in a row. Anyway, BBM is fine, last night was spaghetti night. The food at this hospital is pretty good. Also my nurse is hot. Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes, exclamation
I really don’t know where they go tonight. I don’t think it will be OL unless Campbell or Membou falls to us. I really see our first pick being a CB. We needed one already now we look to need 2.
Mike – So glad to hear that everything went well! Maybe Grier can serve up a nice draft for you to be the cherry on top of the sundae!
Unfortunately I feel the glass half empty on that/Grier. That said, it’s easier not to be so disappointed in the end and possibly pleasantly surprised.
I am not going to feel one way or another after they pick tonight no matter the position. I will reserve losing it all the way up to the end of the 4th round. Lol
Rumors are Saints and Panthers making calls to trade down.
BBMike, great news on your health. Are you talking about WordPress erasing everything you just wrote while trying to edit something?
yes
That has happened to me many times, so annoying.
That or I will be typing then the keyboard disappears and I can’t finish the paragraph.
😂
Erasing an entire post happens to me daily. What’s worse is it tends to happen when I’m writing my article, but there is an “undo” button, but sometimes I have to press it like 3 times. I’ve lost paragraphs, it’s crazy!
BBM,
I’m glad you’re all cleaned out!
and yes…I just deleted a whole fucking paragraph!
When I had my stents put in, I could watch the whole thing on a big 55 inch screen right above my bed. I watched the whole thing, and it took him about 30 minutes to put in 3 stents. He said that was all he did all day long. Medical technology is amazing.
It’s best to write in a text program if you’re writing a lot. Then just copy and paste.
That’s what Dana told me to do for my articles, but that’s too techy for me. lol
Nah, a simple text program every computer has. Then just select all and hit paste in the article format. Done!
I actually forgot the draft was tonight when I woke up. 😂
I did not. I listen to WQAM every morning and that’s pretty much the focus of the Joe Rose Show every morning
Tim,
This is the first time in my life….when I followed football…I can ever remember where I barely think about the draft. I woke up today excited about hockey playoffs and planning my night around that game when it has always been about the draft.
I think it might be for some of us that we’ve followed it for so many years and know it’s not a perfect science. Kind of like a waste of time.
Honestly, WordPress has really screwed up thie format they use
They just couldn’t stop fidgeting with it
I feel like this is a tech thing that happens a lot, messing things up with constant improvements
The tech world needs to learn the phrase “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it”
Tim – I still laugh to myself when I think of your post to Rock
And then I laugh even more when I think of his response GFYS. lol He’s a salty barnacle these days
GFYSx2
This coming from me, a salty MFer myself, especially if we’re talking about the Dolphins.
That was hilarious!
😂
Tim,
The draft is just pure entertainment for me. I like to see if my thoughts on players are born out in the draft, but it’s far from a science. I also remember that it’s just the first step. To piggy back on what you said; people develop opinions of players prior to the draft in terms of what they are or can do, and I think that muddies the water. People talk about them like they’re HOF bound or a “generational” player like that means anything before a kid is even drafted. Then, if they are drafted at #58 instead of #20 that somehow defines them already. None of these kids are finished products at this point. The draft has become almost a finality when it’s just a beginning.
Well said.

POLL Update: So far, 53 percent say Dolphins should go for CB But OL Kelvin Banks is still the most popular overall pick
Whoever we draft has to be an impact player, not someone who needs time to develop but has upside.
Banks is what I see as the pick at 13
I have Barron as a close 2nd also
Banks would be a solid pick. He gives you some versatility on the left side. As we know guys get hurt.
Joe, None of the above! The Best DT on the board! That is all.
lost paragraph! 🤬
LOL I do it all the time. Sometimes MULTIPLE times with one post. Remove your finger from the shift tab before you back space. If you backspace while holding shift down it deletes everything in the “box”
Fuckin-A GREAT NEWS BBM!
Glad to read it this afternoon!
I will be watching my Florida Panthers tonight and not the draft. Heck, the Panthers game may be over by the time we pick! LOL
What is the rule now? 10 minutes per pick in the first round? 130 minutes if we don’t trade up or down? (roughly)
The game starts at 6:30, the draft starts at 8pm. 8Pm plus 120 minutes = approx 10pm for our pick.
I should be able to watch the entire game before we pick!
Awww Rock, I’m hurt. You used to be such a nice feller
I have never been “nice”. I am usually polite. Often thoughtful, but seldom if ever “nice”
I know I didn’t effect how hungry you are and I know that is the only feeling you really have. (hunger) so I can’t have hurt your feeling…
😉
I always liked you, nice or not. I used to be a nice feller too . . .
I still like you Mike. I forgot to say “in all due respect” GFYS. LOL
IADRGFYS
😆
Steelers don’t have a 2nd, would you trade 13 for 21 and a 2026 pick(s)?
absolutely
YES! Next years first after they move up to take a QB would be fantastic!
Fins let NFL know they’re a willing trade partner
👍
Outside of a few top prospects it seems to level out and you can get similar quality down the line.
yeah, and a lot of it is a crap shoot anyway
Daniel Jeremiah has my Iowa RB as his #53 best prospect. I just saw a thing on the thing. So, at least he likes him for whatever that’s worth. Lol
could you imagine we traded up ? 😂
nothing would surprise me with these bafoons
every time Grief speaks he reenforces what an idiot he is
BBM,
GRAND to hear of your news!!! I’m very happy for ya, Brother!!!
Grief will trade up for a Wide Receiver giving away this year’s second and next year’s 3rd….
”I just want to be on the record. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. I believe that Shedeur Sanders, people don’t want the thought of having to deal with him because that’s dealing with his dad,” Smith said on ESPN’s First Take.
Deion Ball…just like Melo and Lonzo’s dad
if the NFL wanted to do a fan friendly draft they’d put the first picks on the clock at 8 sharp
This team is built on speed. Just look at our skill positions on both sides of the ball: it’s a funkin’ track team.
That said, perhaps we need more speed on special teams. Who ran the fastest 40-time at the Combine for Punters and Kickers? That really needs to be addressed this Draft… maybe we even trade up for the fastest Punter or Kicker?
LET’S GO! POWER PLAY GOAL COMING UP!
In a stunning move, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded their first round pick this season, their first round pick in 2026 and a 2026 fourth round pick for Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Ramsey and a 2026 second round pick.
And in 2026, after Grief somehow retained his job, he used all that Draft capital on a Long Snapper from East Bumblefunk University.
😂
I’ve gotta admit, this is one of my FAVORITE days of the calendar year! Why? I DON’T KNOW EITHER!!! LOL
Oh, I know why! It’s the day I get to (have to) buy a new big screen TV!
HERE WE GO!!!
Jacksonville traded to R1P2 with the Browns!
Alright, Jacksonville traded up to R1P2 for a reason, and now they’re just taking their time making their selection… WTF???
The NFL milks it
They sure do!
That was a lot of picks traded for a lot of nothing LOL
JAX selects Travis Hunter!
the Browns won that trade. I’m not sure I’ve ever said that before…
the jaguars giving up that much for a CB and a guy who can play some snaps on offense seems outrageous to me.
I really think Hunter is really overrated
I don’t think Hunter is overrated, but I agree that the Browns won that trade!
not even close, Hunter is dynamite, not sure what Browns were thinking, except no QB
Do they make the jersey right at the draft? Or do they know about the trade in advance?
Travis Hunter is lightning in a bottle, pretty good football player too
this dude is having fun
The G-Men really do like PSU players.
Great! NE didn’t get their mitts on Hunter or Carrer
Carter
yeah but they are probably taking one of the oats we have been targeting
cheats on the clock, commercial
LOVE IT!
There goes the first O-Lineman off the board.
I don’t like that (though it was expected), being we could see a run on O-Linemen before we pick.
Pete Prisco (CBS) picked DT Mason Graham to Miami this morning. I’d LOVE that!
Who are the Brownies taking @ R1P5? Could they surprise us by taking Shedeur?
Maybe Jeanty?
what i thought too
There goes Mason Graham.
Prisco wrong! LOL
😆
Panthers with a mauling defense tonight. still 1-0 FL with 15 left
now get Jeanty off the board before 7
Agreed!
GOOD!!!
they look like they’re up 4-0 with 2 minutes left, playing like shit
Big pick here for the stej… hope they screw it up as usual.
picks going off the board according to plan
Pete Carroll hoping he has beast mode part 2
^^^
Sheduer to NO and Will Johnson to SF would be great
Tyler Warren going 7
jets on the clock, we’ll be right back
So it’s an AFCE thing 🤔
My gawd, how many times did I have to hear Schmidt scored his third goal of the playoffs… llove the player ( ex Jet) but wow after 35 mentions we GET IT
how many goals does he have during the playoffs?
😎
lol
original Knight
first game I went to he stood out in the pre-game skate, fast like hell
Funny as hell too
Uggghhhh…
fuck
Booooo
Bou
Thank God they didn’t take Warren
YUP! Read below!
HAPPY for Tyler Warren not living a career sentence for the stej!
plus, now we can still root for him!
luxury we can’t afford, but yeah I agree
like he just found out he didn’t get a hooker pregnant
congrats Tyler!
gonna be hard for Kelvin Banks to last 6 picks, but we are about to see
I feel like Chicago is going to take Warren or Banks
they actually my take Omarion Hampton
On second thought, I do believe Membou has the largest bust potential of all top-1st round picks. I think the stej picked well!
