Unfortunately, the Dolphins don't/didn't have even an average offensive line. More like 28th-32nd somewhere.
Personally, I'm all set on Alberts. Constantly hurt, costs a ton. He can move to guard, or he can go and the team can take the cap hit. Leave Tunsil at LT and let him grow. Bushrod has already said he's excited for his move to guard. The incumbent guards can all go (or sit). Thomas, Douglas, Turner. ... take care. None of them can play. ... Heck, newcomer Urbik is a bum.
James at RT is just a guy. An OK pass blocker who offers very little in the run game. Plus, he's injury prone. There were times last season that I swear his true weight had to be under 285 last season. He looked like a tight end.
I didn't love the move up 3 or 4 spots to take Caroo. That screamed of panic, to me. It's absolutely not a position of need, and another interior lineman or a decent safety could have been used on the lost pick. I guess it will be worth it if they're planning on letting Landry walk and Caroo turns out to be a stud.
I see a lot of pundits giving them an A. But depending on how Xavien pans out at corner (a true X factor, no pun intended), a huge IF, I'd give their draft a B/B- grade.
