Sun Sentinel’s Omar Kelly, who covers the Dolphins on a daily basis, considers tight-end Julius Thomas and linebacker
Raekwon McMillan as 2 of the most disappointing players in camp on the offensive and defensive side.
Julius Thomas was acquired from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a Dolphins 2017 7th-round pick back in March. The trade was seen as a low-risk, high-reward move for Miami. Thomas struggled on the field and dealt with injuries as a Jag, but the Dolphins desperately needed a tight-end as their group ranked in the bottom categories of the league, and did not get better with the eventual departure of Dion Sims to the Bears. Thomas’ big contract with the Jaguars was restructured, lowered, and filled with incentives as he switched teams. Dolphins lost left tackle Branden Albert(along with his pricy contract), but broke even as left guard Laremy Tunsil would take his place.
As far as 2017 2nd-round draftee
Raekwon McMillan goes, Kelly is not convinced he has won the last open spot for linebacker and thinks other players could still be in the mix.
