I found a pretty good article from PFW talking about how the Dolphins have a very good nucleus of young players.

I have to agree with the writer quite a bit and he doesn't even talk about the O or D-lines, which is where we probably have the most young talent. Our front office is finally building a team who will be perenial playoff (possible SB) contenders for years to come.

What do Henne, Bess, Hartline, Smith and Davis have in common? All four have less than two years of experience. Henne is in his first season as a full-time starter, and Hartline, Smith and Davis are all rookies.
This team is being built for sustained success over a long period of time, and, as Sunday showed, if these young players continue to develop, Miami has a good chance of competing for playoff berths for many years to come.
