Another Dolphins Podcast

In this episode of Phinsider Radio, Jake and I discuss the latest on the Miami Dolphins and what we’re hearing heading into the 2020 NFL Draft. Could Miami pass on a QB at 5? Or is Tua Tagovailoa still the QB they covet? We also give you the OFFICIAL Jake and Josh 3-Round Mock draft.

First, we shuffle through the latest news and rumors surrounding the Dolphins. Is Tua Tagovailoa the pick at #5? Or does Jordan Love have a chance to be Miami’s QB of the future? Should the Dolphins trade up to #3? Could they trade down? We discuss the latest article from Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline and try to figure out what Miami might do on Thursday.

PFN’s Mock Draft Simulator

Next, Jake and I pretend we’re Chris Grier and Brian Flores as we bring you our one and the only mock draft of the season. Without any trades, who do we select with six picks in the top-70? Is Tua the guy at #5, or do we wait for Jordan Love at #18? What positions of need to we solidify? The good, the bad, and the ugly from our three-round mock draft.

Lastly, we discuss what we would’ve done differently and which players the Dolphins might target on draft day.

In this episode of Phinsider Radio, Jake and I are joined by Matthew Cannata to discuss the latest on the Miami Dolphins and what he’s hearing heading into the 2020 NFL Draft.

First, we discuss whether or not the Dolphins have an interest in LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. Could Miami trade up? What might the draft compensation look like? Is he the missing piece in Miami, and would the Bengals be willing to part ways with the Heisman Trophy Winner?

Next, we discuss Tua Tagovailoa. Are the Dolphins concerned about his injury history? Is he still the quarterback Miami covets, or is Justin Herbert, the new leader in the clubhouse? Maybe, Miami should trade up for ‘The Left Arm of God’? Are the smoke and mirrors surrounding the Dolphins’ interest in Herbert that, or is this the perfect smokescreen? And what about Utah State QB Jordan Love? Miami rushed him and J.K. Dobbins in before the league shut down NFL facilities, but very little has been leaked surrounding the promising young QB.

We then try to figure out what Miami should do with the remainder of their first-round picks and what positions they have to address on day one of the NFL draft.

In this episode of Phinsider Radio, Jake and I discuss the latest NFL draft rumors surrounding the Miami Dolphins. Is their love for Justin Herbert genuine? Could they make a move for LSU QB Joe Burrow or will they stay at #5 and take whichever quarterback falls into their lap? Is Tua Tagovailoa still their guy, or might they be shifting their focus to Justin Herbert or Jordan Love?

We then break down the Dolphins draft needs, which include offensive tackle, offensive guard, defensive end, defensive tackle, running back, and of course, quarterback. How will Miami approach this original draft? How will Zoom hold up with 32 NFL teams and general managers all jockeying for position?

I wrote an article earlier this week on the Dolphins’ five most significant draft needs.

Lastly, we discuss what Miami might do with their 14 draft picks. Where might they decide to trade up or down in the first round? How about the rest of the draft? Could they use some of their ammunition to fill the gap between pick #71 and #140? What should we expect from this draft class, and how soon should Chris Grier be graded?

In this episode of Phinsider Radio Jake Mendel (@JMendel94), and I (@Houtz) discuss the latest on the Dolphins QB rumors and how the 2020 NFL draft is going to be affected by the Coronavirus. Will the Dolphins take a chance on Tua Tagovailoa, despite not being able to meet with him face to face? Do the Joe Burrow trade rumors have legs, and what might a trade look like to land the Heisman Trophy winner?

We then shift our focus to Xavien Howard, who’s name is once again being leaked in trade rumors. Is this smoke, or could the Dolphins move on from the shutdown cornerback now that Byron Jones is in the mix? How could that affect Miami’s draft plans, and what would realistic compensation be for the 26-year-old corner?

Next, we talk about the NFL Draft and Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor. Is he a better prospect than Saquon Barkley? One NFL site seems to think so. Should the Dolphins draft him at 18? Or let the board fall in a loaded draft class?

Lastly, we remind our listeners to remain safe in these troubling times. And to always practice proper hand-washing, social distancing, and remember to tell your family you love them each and every day.

On this episode of Phinsider Radio Jake Mendel (@JMendel94), and I (@Houtz) discuss the ongoing development regarding Ted Karass and his infamous ‘butt sweat towel.’ How did this become about, and is this EXACTLY what we need to get us through these dire times.

We then shift our focus to everyone’s favorite quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa. Should we be excited over 28 seconds worth of footage showing off his progress from the season-ending hip injury he suffered late last season? And IF he’s the QB the Dolphins love should they sit tight or do what it takes to acquire him?

Speaking of QBs Miami reportedly loves, what do we make of the recent trade rumors surrounding the Dolphins and LSU QB Joe Burrow? Do they have ANY chance at getting the 2019 Heisman Trophy winner? What might a package cost to move up? Or could Justin Herbert or Jordan Love be the answer?

Lastly, we talk about the never-ending changes at QB this offseason. Tom Brady to Tampa, Teddy Bridgewater to Carolina, Foles traded, what could it mean for Jaemis Winston and Cam Newton? And yes, we answer the question of whether or not the Dolphins should have an interest in either superstar.

The Dolphins made a huge splash (no pun intended, we swear) during Day 1 of 2020 NFL Free Agency, and we discuss the team's moves we loved and didn't love so much (we signed off literally seconds before the Kyle Van Noy signing, so we'll hit that in our next episode). Zach also totally prognosticates Jordan Howard to Miami, so that's something. Last, we talk about how Free Agency will affect Miami's selection in the 2020 NFL Draft next month.

In this episode of Phinsider Radio, Matthew Cannata (@CannataPFN) Jake Mendel (@JMendel94) and I (@Houtz) breakdown the latest signing from a wild and crazy first day of NFL Free Agency.

First, we take a look at the Dolphins newest signing Byron Jones, who just inked a 5 year, $82.5M contract, making him the highest-paid defensive back in football. What does his signing mean for Miami’s defense? Were the Dolphins interested from the start, or did they make a last-minute move to sign the shutdown corner? We then breakdown whether or not Jones, alongside Xavien Howard, make up the best cornerback tandem in football. Could they be a modern-day Patrick Surtain and Sammie Madison? Lastly, we discuss what it could mean for Howard. Is he on the trade block? And is Jones the best defensive back on the roster.

Next, we take a look at the former Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy. His 4 year, $51M contract is anything but cheap. But he fits exactly what the Dolphins need at linebacker and has proven to have success in a New England-style defense. What does it mean for the Dolphins, now that Van Noy reunites with Flores in Miami?

We then discuss offensive guard Ereck Flowers and defensive end Shaq Lawson, two moves that fans have mixed feelings about the signings. Should Dolphins fans be excited about Flowers 3-year, $30M contract? Can Shaq Lawson live up the hype he had in college? Will both players start in 2020?

Lastly, we discuss the Tom Brady to Miami rumors. Could the Dolphins have legit interest in the man that has wronged them for so many years?

In this episode of Phinsider Radio, Jake Mendel (@JMendel94) and I (@Houtz) breakdown the Dolphins offensive line, secondary, and quarterback position.

First, we start the show by discussing the latest news surrounding the Miami Dolphins and their newly acquired compensatory draft picks. What will the Dolphins do with 14 draft picks and $100-million in cap space? Next, we discuss Trent Williams, and whether or not the Dolphins could have interest in the 31-year-old tackle? What type of contract is Williams looking for, and what might type of compensation would it cost? How would landing an offensive tackle that can play on both sides of the line, positively affect the draft and free agency?

We then shift our focus to the secondary and try to figure out where the Dolphins should be looking in free agency and the draft. Could the Dolphins pursue Jets defensive back Tremaine Johnson? After all, a large portion of his contract will remain on New York’s books. Why not sign a player that before his time in New York, was considered one of the better defensive backs in football.

Lastly, we take a look at the latest news on Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa. Is Burrow QB1? Could Tagovailoa fall to #5, or will the Dolphins have to trade up? What other options could be available if the Dolphins choose not to address the position in the draft.

In this episode of Phinsider Radio, Matthew Cannata and I discuss the latest news and rumors from the 2020 NFL combine.

Which Quarterback do the Dolphins have their eyes set on? Will they trade up for Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa? Or do they have their sights set on Justin Herbert or Jordan Love? Could they make a play at LSU QB Joe Burrow? We give you a behind the scenes look from the Combine in Indianapolis.

We then break down Free Agency and discuss which players Miami could be interested in as we approach Free Agency on March 18th. How does the Miami Herald report about Miami's interest in Logan Ryan, Joe Thuney, and Devin McCourty play out? Could the Dolphins spend big money on Jadeveon Clowney or Yannick Ngakoue? We discuss the latest news and notes from Pro Football Network's Tony Pauline.

Lastly, we each give one player we think the Dolphins will take in the draft. Could that be Tua Tagovailoa? What about Antoine Winfield Jr.?

In this episode of Phinsider Radio, Jake Mendel (@JMendel94) and I (@Houtz) breakdown the strengths and weaknesses of the Dolphins roster.

First, we look at which positions Miami might not have interest in this offseason.

After the emergence of DeVante Parker and Preston Williams in 2019, is WR a top priority? How will the position look in two or three years from now? Could Miami address the situation in FA or the draft? We then turn our attention to the Dolphins defensive line. Besides pass-rusher, can Josh Boyer’s defense get by with Davon Godchaux, Christian Wilkins, and the rest of the big guys upfront? How might they improve Miami’s group of linebackers this offseason?

We then shift our attention to Miami’s running backs, how many RBs can we expect the Dolphins to sign this offseason and is a veteran FA the right route to go? Should Miami address the Tight end position, with Mike Gesicki’s big season and the recent signing of Michael Roberts? And is there any chance the Dolphins sign an FA Quarterback? (Spoiler alert: No)

Lastly, we break down Miami’s offensive line and try to figure out who stays and who must go. Is there any unit more important to upgrade this season than the offensive line? How many new starters could the Dolphins be looking for?
