ESPN analyst suggests one move the Dolphins should've made this year
· Yahoo Sports
The Miami Dolphins made massive changes to their roster this offseason, including trading two of their best players, Jaylen Waddle and Minkah Fitzpatrick, away for draft picks and to get money off their books.

However, ESPN's Bill Barnwell believes that the Dolphins could've gone further, as he recently suggested that Miami should've been more willing to ship out running back De'Von Achane.
"The Dolphins aren't likely to field much of a passing attack anytime soon, and [Malik] Willis probably will shoulder some of the rushing workload, which will combine to limit Achane's ability to impact games," Barnwell wrote. "He's a very good running back, and it's reasonable for Sullivan to see Achane as a core component for the Dolphins moving forward, but I don't know if these Dolphins will be able to get the most out of him. Achane could have thrived elsewhere. If the Dolphins could have landed a second-round pick for him, I would have preferred to see them move on and try to land the next Achane in the middle rounds of the draft over the years to come."
It's unclear if a second-round pick was on the table for Achane in a trade this offseason, but Miami decided to give the running back a four-year, $68 million extension with $32 million guaranteed.
Barnwell credits the Dolphins for getting the deal done before Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs sign their extensions in the near future. Had Miami waited, they probably would've had to give Achane more than they did.
