ESPN put together a “way too early” list of candidates who could be shipped at the trade deadline and who did they pick to trade away from the Dolphins? They picked an Edge Rusher, Josh Uche. I wondered how could they pick an edge rusher when our guys can’t get home with him on the team. How will they fare with him gone?
Then I realized the flipside of the argument would be, well if he isn’t getting home anyway, then why not flip him for a draft pick next year? In that respect, it makes sense. So you tell me. The trade deadline isn’t for another 1.5 months, but what would be your opinion on shipping out Uche for a draft pick and what kind of compensation do you think they’d get? A 6th or 7th rounder? What are your thoughts?
Josh Uche, Edge, Miami Dolphins
There are a lot of edge rushers on this list, but it’s a spot at which teams are always looking for help. Uche signed a one-year, minimum deal with the Dolphins. He’s a seven-year veteran who’s playing well for a team in the first year of a significant rebuild. If the Dolphins get the opportunity to turn this signing into a useful draft pick, it’s not at all hard to imagine them jumping on it.
