Right now every team in the league could make the playoffs next year. The Dolphins though will likely win 5-6 games and that won’t be nearly enough to make the playoffs. They are either going to have a career backup or a rookie playing QB for them next season and I just don’t see either one of them leading the Dolphins to the playoffs.
The defense should be better than last year but since they were the worst defense in the league last year, it shouldn’t be hard to improve on that side of the ball. I still think they will be in the bottom half of defenses in the league.
I don’t see Fitzpatrick playing well next season as he will be a year older and his history shows he just doesn’t play well year after year. If they draft Tua, I doubt he will play at all in the 2020 season because they will want to give his hip at least a year to fully heal.
If they draft Herbert or Love, I just don’t see either of them being ready to play immediately and certainly they won’t be ready to lead the team to the playoffs.
I think it is going to take at least the next two drafts and another free agency period before this team possibly gets back to 8-8 and I think it will be 2022 before they are a legitimate playoff contender.
