4. Miami Dolphins (via TB)

59. It really does feel like the Miami Dolphins are groping for instant fixes every time they change the front office and coaching staff. Lack of continuity must count for something. In truth though this team is suffering from some serious issues on offense. They can’t run the ball with any consistency and now questions have finally been leveled at Ryan Tannehill. Does he deserve to the be the long-term starter anymore? <p>Adam Gase was hired to do everything possible in order to make that a reality. Tannehill has thrown for over 4,000 yards and a number of touchdowns. The problem is he doesn’t perform when his team needs to win. His performance thus far in 2016 isn’t helping with five interceptions and four fumbles in four games. If that keeps up then there is a real possibility the team may go hunting for his replacement in 2017.</p> <p>That is just what they do in this scenario. They make a calculated jump up the board in a deal with Tampa Bay to secure the rights to Clemson star Deshaun Watson. He may not have quite the arm or size of Kizer, but he’s a proven winner. His outstanding athleticism will give Gase options in play calling and he makes good decisions with the football. The trick will be finding a scheme that maximizes his skill set in the pros.</p>. QB.
