They now have TWO 1st round picks, TWO 2nd round picks and TWO 3rd round picks all coming in 2021.  They also have TWO first round picks in 2022, and TWO first round picks in 2023.

This is how you do it.  They got a quality coach hired for their rebuild and their GM immediately started moving players for draft capital.  They've since used that draft capital and turned into even more draft capital.  All in all, their use of both trades and the cap has been masterful.

Now take all of those picks listed above, and consider that they have a head coach who went 10-6 last season, and is 15-9 since starting 0-7 with a depleted roster that featured many of the trades referenced above.  The future looks very bright in Miami.

But hey, we got Zac Taylor, right?  And we got a 6th rounder for Carlos, so we're not doing to shabby ourselves.

The Huge difference is to start building their capital they traded away their great young talent Minkah Fitzpatrick and Laremy Tunsil to acquire extra first round picks.

The Bengals would have had to trade away guys like Jessie Bates and Tyler Boyd to gain capital and still wouldnt have gotten what the dolphins pulled off.
