What is up, Dahlf fans, and welcome to the Draft Time podcast.

I am your host, Travis Winkfield.

And on today's show, I am fired up because we are breaking the format of the previous two weeks here on the show.

We're talking all things.

Roster evaluation, where things stand following the first couple of waves of free agency with an eye towards the draft.

Kind of a comprehensive look behind and look ahead on this edition of the podcast from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.

This is the drive time podcast.

So as free agency has wound down rather significantly, we are well past the first phase, obviously,

and maybe even past the second phase entering the third one

here. And the dolphins kind of showed you their plan through their actions, in my opinion.

Let's spend mid-market money on one guy, really, and then kind of go roll shopping the rest of

the way. That player, of course, being James Daniels, the very, very good

guard. And that right there, I think, signals something of a change in terms of philosophy because

of the past thought that $8 million for a guard was just something you would not see in not just

this offensive system, but the other offensive systems across the league

that share our core philosophies. And I do think they looked at James and said, this guy is

probably closer to a $15 million player. I mean, he's a better player than Aaron Banks. And it's

not even close in my opinion. And because of his injury situation last year, we can capitalize

and get him in a

massive reduction of the cost, which, yeah, that's not a shift, not a shift in organizational

philosophy, because that has clearly been the MO of Chris Greer, who has told you in the past,

like this league in sport has an injury rate of 100%. And so I don't think they factor that as much as other teams do for better or worse.
