As Ndamukong Suh will reportedly be gone next, it appears that the Miami Dolphins are in full rebuild mode. So they must turn to the draft to speed up the process.

Miami Dolphins executive vice president Mike Tannenbaum and general manager Chris Grier are cleaning house. The executive duo is ridding the Fins of a number of Pro Bowl players, which means the Dolphins are in full rebuild mode — now they must rely on the NFL Draft.

If you turned on the radio Monday morning to WQAM 560 in Miami, you would have heard the division among fans as it pertains to former second-round pick turned three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry. There were some fans ranting about his price tag being too high and others were gloomy at the loss. No matter what side you’re on, one thing is for sure Landry left a lasting impression and void at the wide receiver spot, but he’s not the only one.

Tannenbaum and Grier are apparently planning on releasing another talent in defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh according to NFL.com. This will be the third Pro Bowl player the Fins brass has parted ways with, after initial trade where they shipped running back Jay Ajayi to the Eagles during the season.

They are officially void of their best defensive tackle, running back and wide receiver. With a weak free agency class, they must rely on the 2018 NFL Draft to speed up the rebuilding process. These targets would certainly help.
