Tank for Tua. That was the mantra of many Dolphins fans heading into the 2019-2020 NFL season. And tank the Dolphins did... sort of.
Heading into former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores’ (still feels weird to type that) inaugural season, Miami traded several key players including Minkah Fitzpatrick, Laremy Tunsil, and Kenny Stills en route to demolishing the roster and preparing for a rebuild. The top brass in Miami was all in on sacrificing the present for the future... or so we thought. It turns out that Brian Flores and his staff were able to conjure up five wins that season, giving Miami the fifth-overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
