No doubt Willis’ ceiling is higher. Only question I have is how he reacts when defenses have a bigger sample size and start punching back. That’s where Tua (& the whole offense) fell short.
NEW: I watched the Malik Willis tape again, and it’s still good! What he does well and where he can still improve: www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...
God this is so funny

NEW: The Dolphins simply don't have the cap space to make splash free agent signings this year (and that likely includes Malik Willis), so instead here are five lower-priced options they should at least explore.

NEW: I did a new Dolphins 7-round mock following the combine. I tried to incorporate some new names while sticking to Miami’s likely size + testing thresholds.

I don't plug my Substack much since it's been a side project, but I've been doing weekly content all offseason, and I'm close to 300 subs. It's free, and it would mean a lot to reach that goal before the draft.

Yeah once receivers started becoming more involved/better at blocking, I started asking myself why I’d even bother with a TE who can’t block.
In most scenarios, they’re just worst receivers who are also a huge tell to the defense.
Went about 16 deep on the TE class because Grier + McDaniel’s handling of that position drove me up a wall. A few names I like: Sam Roush (Stanford), Dae’Quan Wright (Mississippi), and Nate Boekircher (A&M).
Fwiw, I’m out on the “receiving TE” archetype. If you can’t block, I’m not interested.
NEW: I did my best to rank the Dolphins' top 11 options at pick 11. There's not much consensus on how this year's draft shakes out, so this was a fun challenge.

Yeahhhh, Malik Willis rocks
Totally down with taking a Day 3 lottery ticket (like Allar) in this class. I just want to make sure the expectations are set there. Seen some strange hype for QBs with awful tape.
I think there will be a lot of analysts who try to sell Dolphins fans on “the secret sleeper QB who is actually good,” and I’m gonna be honest, I don’t think that player exists.
NEW: Where the significant Monday roster moves left the Miami Dolphins at some key positions.
www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...
Oh, I’m assuming it’s worse than I can imagine
Alright, this gave me a good laugh
NEW: The Dolphins are moving on from one of their biggest misses from last offseason.
- James Daniels' weird 2025 season
- Pre June 1 vs. Post June 1 cap implications
- Where does this leave Miami at guard?

Very happy Tyreek Hill isn’t on my favorite football team anymore.
I've finally scouted and fully written up 100 non-QBs for the draft class, so it's time for my annual bender of watching the QB class.
Given Miami is likely to select one late, I'll try to get through as many as possible. Just have to hope I still have hair when I'm done.
Got rage baited into a Tua debate on the other app. Need to install a machine that hits me over head with a comically large mallet every time I think about doing that from now on.
I think it’s realistic based on what I know today, yes
NEW: I wrote up a new Dolphins 7-Round mock draft after my trip to the Senior Bowl. Miami has so many paths to take in the top-100. Which way did I go?
