Brothers... it's gonna be tough to make this roster

the first name that jumped at me was you have the second Washington making the team......I think he'll go to the PS.....highly doubt we only keep 3 RB's.....not so sure EZ makes the team but the one thing he's got going for him is he's a bigger WR so that will help him.

If I was a free agent OL or DL, I would think it wouldn't be that hard to make the roster

Unfortunately, injuries will shape this roster anywhere from 5-10 spots. Even minor injuries could slow or derail a borderline player's hope to land a spot. Hopefully, not many season ending ones.

Chris Brooks isn't going anywhere!
While they do have a lot of talent at some positions, I am not that impressed with the players they have at DT except for Sieler. I think the loss of Wilkins is going to severely hamper this unit.
The need for a #3 WR is still apparent unless EZ can show he can stay healthy and fill that position.
They haven’t yet found an adequate replacement for Hunt on the offensive line, so hopefully they can sign a veteran free agent to come in and fill that position for at least the 2024 season.
Hopefully Cam Smith steps up in this new defense and is able to get on the field this coming season. Because I’’m not that impressed with the CB’s behind Ramsey and Fuller. Needham was better a few years ago and Kohou didn’t play nearly as well last year as he did in his rookie season.
Until Phillips and Chubb get fully healthy and back on the field, I see a big dip in their pass rush. I don’t see a DT who can replace Wilkins in providing pressure up the middle and I don’t think Robinson is ready to come in and play at this time. The Barrett from 3 years ago would be great but I just don’t see him as the same player he was earlier in his career.
The depth at safety is very questionable if Holland or Poyer are injured during the season. I would love to see them add another veteran safety before the season begins.
Overall I think the roster was better going into the 2023 season than it is right now because of the loss of Wilkins, Williams,and Hunt. Along with the fact Phillips and Chubb are both coming off serious injuries and when they will return and how effective they will be once they do return is a huge question.
Hopefully some of the young players taken in the draft and as UDFA’s will be able to come in and contribute immediately on the field.

Thanks for doing this. It puts into perspective how much talent Miami has.
Maybe Grier can make a few trades too. Jeff Wilson could have some interest. With the addition of Wright, he definitely seems like the odd man out.
Picking two wide receivers in the draft was interesting, but I still think OBJ could be in play.
Definitely don't love the Dolphins choices at guard, at the moment. That jumps out as the weakness. Maybe also safety depth.

Yeah, looking at Feverdream's projections Miami would lack that bigger back. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.
Nice big picture overview, brother.
Appreciate you taking the time and effort in putting it together.
I wouldn’t be too sure of that. It’s possible he could even end up on the practice squad.

I also think more talent has left the building, than entered this offseason. Although, I do think Grier pivoted pretty well.
Wilkin's pass rushing ability wasn't replaced, although interestingly Chop Robinson was used inside as a pass rusher at times by Penn State. Maybe that will factor in some?
I do wonder what/who Grier was targeting when he indicated an attempt to get back into the 1st round? Newton was rumored. Hall went one pick before Paul too.
Agree, safety depth is lacking and I don't like the options at guard as things stand right now.
Great job. Will have to see on Tindall and Riley. 
These days, with the "call up rules" the PS is essentially an extension of the roster to have reserves as needed on a game by game basis. Having plug in players, familiar with the system has more value than some give credit for, and McD takes advantage of it regularly.
Of course there is the risk of players being poached.

Not if I have anything to say about that!
