Considering the Dolphins have gone for quick fixes as much as any team in the first 2 decades of the 21st century,   the long term approach they are taking makes plenty of sense for their franchise.  

On the other hand,   the product the Dolphins put on the field this season isn't good for the NFL.  Even if the Dolphins win 1 to 3 games ( big IF they will win any games) , most of their games will be probably be unwatchable for most, sometime in the 3rd QTR.

If the NFL doesn't like it then they should change the draft ordering formula. I've suggested in the past it would be based on a rolling 2-3 year window of record rather than just one year so that a team can't just tank a year like the colts in 2012 and grab a #1 overall pick. Also it wouldn't punish bad teams for always winning 3-4 games like the jags between 2011 and 2016 so they never get the best draft position, sustained losing would get the best draft position over near term losing.
