Nah, our window isn't even open yet, no need to rush anything. Build through the draft and do it right.

If the right move at the right price had been there, that would have been one thing. Trading draft picks so good young players wouldn't have the playing time they need to develop would be foolish.
The Rams seemed to draft well this past draft, despite having traded several valuable picks away. I want to see what McVie does with an actual first. I would love to see what he would do with a full draft, as he rebuilds the Rams to fit his system.

Watched him closely in college. Very talented he's just one of those guys with a bad maybe even chronically bad injury.

Gase delivers pointed message
BY BARRY JACKSON
The message, delivered by coach Adam Gase to his players this week, couldn’t have been more clear:
“He said, ‘This is where we’re at, this is where we’re going to go; if you’re not on board, you’re going to be the hell out of there,’” center Mike Pouncey said.
One prominent player is already gone, running back Jay Ajayi dispatched to Philadelphia for a fourth-round pick because of substandard performance (running and blocking) and what was portrayed as a questionable attitude and occasional penchant for complaining.
That left the locker room stunned and left Miami without an established lead running back.
“Didn’t see it coming,” DeVante Parker said Wednesday.
“Shocked,” Kenyan Drake said.
Although multiple sources said Gase was displeased with Ajayi — it was the Dolphins who initiated trade calls to dump him — Gase did not specifically criticize him on Wednesday, saying only that it “was just time for us to move on. We’ve got some younger players there that we feel like we were going to move forward with.”
Gase said the Dolphins made no attempt to acquire a veteran running back before the trade deadline: “We didn’t inquire about anyone else. For right now, I like the group I’ve got.”
Asked about the Ajayi trade in the context of the business side of football, Pouncey said: “It sucks. It could be any one of us. Jay was really good to us.”
Gase didn’t directly answer when asked whether the Ajayi trade was designed to send a message. “I don’t know,” he said. “That’s something you would have to ask those guys.”
What disappointed Gase most about Ajayi’s 21/2 seasons with the team?
“We’ve had ups and downs, but that [happens with] a lot of players,” Gase said. “It’s just [about] getting on the same page and sharing the same philosophy of how we want to do things. I think he tried to do what we were asking him to do a majority of the time. He had a lot of really positive games. It was just time for probably us to go separate ways.”
Asked if the Dolphins are better off now than they were with Ajayi, Gase said: “I like where we’re at right now.”
The 2018 fourth-round pick that Miami will acquire for Ajayi likely will be a low pick, in the high 130s or low 140s. The Eagles own Minnesota’s, New England’s and their own fourth-rounder, and Miami will get the middle of those three picks. That’s probably going to be a low pick considering all three teams have three of the five best records in the league.
• Ajayi told Eagles reporters: "Those are the criticisms that are out there. I can only speak on how I view myself. I view myself as a 'team guy'.

I like Gase....was mad we didn't get a shot at him while Fish was here....he's done pretty well after losing his QB...
But
If he thinks whatever he's doing is sustainable...he better think again. Players HATE losing guys that can help them win....Ajayi had three 200 yard games....you can't just replace that type of production. You can't...don't care who you have on the team now...they can't do that either...They better draft one just like that or...
I see a mutiny in 2018...if Gase has this team so...so...just watch out...if they start losing this year...watch how 2018 begins...
It's not Ajayi that has the offense looking like shit...it's the line...followed by the crappy QB play...dudes see what Cutler does...but Gase isn't trying to trade him....the QB that played the other day, Moore...was AWFUL!!!
