[h=4]Quarterback:[/h]
  1. Ryan Tannehill
  2. Matt Moore
  3. Pat Devlin
Remarks: Pretty obvious that the team is happy with this as the depth chart heading into the season. I still think another quarterback is added to the roster, either late in the draft or, potentially, as an undrafted free agent. Most likely, however, this is the opening day depth chart.
[h=4]Running Back:[/h]
  1. Lamar Miller
  2. Daniel Thomas
  3. Marcus Thigpen
  4. Mike Gillislee
  5. Cameron Marshall
Remarks: Everyone seems to agree that Miami will address the running back position at some point. When they will do it is the question still to be answered. Players like Maurice Jones-Drew and LeGarrette Blount have fans wanting a free agent signing, but drafting someone like Tre Mason or Storm Johnson could also be the way the team looks.
[h=4]Wide Receiver:[/h]
  1. Mike Wallace
  2. Brian Hartline
  3. Brandon Gibson
  4. Rishard Matthews
  5. Armon Binns
  6. Ryan Spadola
Remarks: There's not a lot of reasons for Miami to spend a lot of time addressing the wide receiver position this offseason, given the amount of money they sunk into the spot last year. That doesn't mean they won't add either a veteran or draft a rookie late, but, it would nto be overly surprising if this were the draft chart when the season opens.
[h=4]Tight End:[/h]
  1. Charles Clay
  2. Michael Egnew
  3. Dion Sims
  4. Kyle Miller
  5. Emmanuel Ogbuehi
Remarks: There's probably a move still out there somewhere, and perhaps it's signing Dustin Keller to come back. More likely, Miami would want to get a true tight end, one who can compliment Clay, but is also a better blocker than Egnew or Sims, both of whom are developing, but still have a way to go to be a good in-line blocker. Miller is clearly a developmental player, and Ogbuehi is a training camp body at this point, though the fact that Miami lists him as a tight end/fullback does make him a little more interesting when it comes to projecting a roster spot.
[h=4]Left Tackle:[/h]
  1. Branden Albert
  2. Jason Weaver
Remarks: Depth is needed, but the left tackle position was locked down when the Dolphins signed Albert in free agency.
[h=4]Left Guard:[/h]
  1. Shelley Smith
  2. Sam Brenner
Remarks: Right now, this is probably the best battle on the offensive side of the ball. Both Smith and Brenner have a few starts under their belt, but neither is head-and-shoulders above the other at this point. The Dolphins could still add a veteran or high-draft pick to take the starting position; if they don't, this will be a position to watch this summer.
[h=4]Center:[/h]
  1. Mike Pouncey
Remarks: Pouncey is the one starter from last year's opening day who should be back at the starter in 2014 (assuming no suspension is coming from the league for the bullying scandal, but that's another issue). Brenner will likely serve as the backup behind Pouncey.

[h=4]Right Guard:[/h]
  1. Nate Garner
  2. Dallas Thomas
  3. David Arkin
Remarks: Garner appears to be the early favorite to start at guard, if no one else is added to the roster. We are also making an assumption here that Thomas is moved to guard, rather than tackle where the coaching staff had him all of last year. A drafted guard could be the right player to slide into this position.
[h=4]Right Tackle:[/h]
  1. Michael Ola
Remarks: Expect this to look a lot different by the time the season rolls around.
Ha ha ha!!!! laughable.


Me think this group gets us 10 wins, for sure. Addition of a "true" Number One WR, Big time RB and "real" seam threat TE would add a couple of Playoff wins for sure...

what a poor man's offense at the skill positions...save wallace who we are paying dearly for.
 
I would make a run at Alex Mack. See if Banner matches our offer. If we can land him and move Pouncey to Guard, we're that much closer to a real nice OL.
 
i agree if we sign mack and move pouncy to og then draft martin then we will have a 90+ overall o line, thats something a lot of teams cannot say
 
Garner is the back up center IMHO. Brenner is not big/strong enough to neutralize the NT/DT. When he filled in last season, the running game and protection actually improved.
Brenner is unproven at either position.
I am a fan of signing Alex Mack. First is that Pouncey is a FA at the end of 2014. Second is that Pouncey may have substance issues, and his connection to Martin gate. He might be a better RG anyways.
As I said above, Garner played quite well when Pouncey was "injured". He is replaceable.
RT is open. Ola is not a starter. We need a FA signing and draft a RT.
At TE, Kyle Miller might be a dark horse. He has the right build/speed to be an every down TE. I am still hoping for Ebron, but he will likely be gone. Absent of Ebron, i think we stay with the guys we have this year.
At RB, we need a true hard running 235 lb running back. Diane Thomas is not that guy. I would like Carlos Hyde. I like his running style. Miller is explosive. I want to see him with blocking. The other guys are back ups.
We are set at WR if everyone is healthy.

No chance they win 10 games

In other words, we are a starting TE, a #1 WR, and a starting RB away from being any good. Sure, no problem finding all that...

There are EXPANSION teams that are better at the skill positions.

That is nothing remotely resembling a 10-win offense.
 
Not sure what some of you saw In Brenner...but he is not as good as Smith and graded out much lower on his snaps last year. Brenner is a backup at best...If he makes the team it is only indicative of the lack of depth on our line.

It's looking like a heavy O-line draft is coming...which is good because it's a deep O-line draft.

I'll be shocked if 2 out of first 3 picks are not lineman.
