I have suggested this on other threads.
Trade our 1st pick for Surtain and Dolphin 2nd pick. That means like last year, that our rookies don't get guaranteed contracts but get money only if they make the team. And we still have 2 picks in the first day. The money we would have had to delegate to our 1st round pick would be freed up to pay Surtain and we would make the hard choices of who to cut based upon who is being productive on the field for those 2nd round choices.
If nothing else, if the Dolphins balked it would most likely be because they can't afford to pay two 1st round contracts for rookies who have 50% chance on not playing and meet CAP. What this says is that the CAP will be the reason Surtain is let go in June anyway in order to meet these new rookie contracts.
