ESPN - Miami Dolphins 2014 Projected Roster

Examining the Miami Dolphins’ roster:

QUARTERBACKS (3)
miapngw80h80transparenttrue-1.jpg



The only question here is whether Devlin can hold off undrafted rookie Brock Jensen for the No. 3 quarterback job. Neither quarterback stood out in the offseason. But Devlin has the slight edge because of experience.

RUNNING BACKS (3)


The Dolphins would like to have someone step up and challenge Thomas. Undrafted rookie Damien Williams from Oklahoma could be a sleeper to watch. But it's too premature to put Williams on the 53-man roster over the veteran Thomas before the pads come on.

RECEIVERS (6)


This is a deep group with a lot of competition. Williams will be pushed for the final spot by Armon Binns and rookie Matt Hazel, who is practice-squad eligible.

TIGHT ENDS (3)


New Dolphins offensive coordinator Bill Lazor uses some two-tight end sets. So there might be room for a fourth player such as Dion Sims. But we are sticking with three for now.

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10)

Pouncey’s hip injury puts a major dent in this much-maligned group to start the season. Miami will have five new starters in Week 1.

DEFENSIVE LINE (8)


This is the strongest area of the team. The Dolphins can come at opponents in waves in the trenches.

LINEBACKERS (7)


This group must improve its play from 2013. The Misi experiment at middle linebacker is particularly important to watch.

CORNERBACKS (6)


This is a solid mix of youth and experience. As long as second-year players Taylor and Davis come of age and Finnegan stays healthy, the depth will be improved from a year ago.

SAFETIES (4)


This group is all about position flexibility. All four players must be able to play back in coverage and closer to the line of scrimmage in defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle’s scheme.

SPECIALISTS (3)


This trio will remain the same for the second straight year.
 
Few notes on my side.

Don't see us carrying 6 WR's.

Add a 4th RB in (interesting Thigpen is not listen, wonder who is returning KR/PR)?

Anthony Johson DT makes the 53, period.
 
The only ones I see missing is Sims and Thigpen at this point.
 
Agree with you about Johnson. If they try and put him on the practice squad I do not see him lasting long before getting snatched up. I don't see us keeping Egnew over Sims. I know Sims is very similar to Lynch but in my opinion Sims has more upside than Egnew. I see someone like Jalil Brown not making it and Johnson getting slotted into that spot. But again it is very early. That's what I would do though as for some changes.

Going by the ESPN projected roster I guess wr Damian Williiams would return kicks.

My roster is similar, however I'm going with 9 offensive linemen and Sims making it as a 4th tight end. I also have Hazel beating out Williams for the 6th receiver spot.

I think the AJ Francis/Anthony Johnson battle could get very interesting. I can't see five dt on the 53 man roster and Odrick, Starks and Mitchell look like locks.
 
If we keep 6 receivers I think the 6th will be Hazel at this point. Also, I think we are almost certain to keep 4 TE's, especially since we use Clay as an Hback at times.
 
Just saw this thread. Funny to have 2 of the same and 5 posts combined in a few minutes. Think the forum is looking for something to talk about? lol

Back up Safety spot in interesting as neither Don Jones or Kovac makes the squad.

10 O-line seems like a damn stretch, but the Pouncey injury forces the extra slot.
 
That's a pretty decent attempt at projecting the roster.
I expect that we will have 4 RBs with either Gillislee or Damien Williams from Oklahoma as the 4th. Kovacs and Don Jones both missed out on a Safety slot to Michael Thomas. Somebody will miss out but I would have liked to keep 2 of the 3. This list also has Anthony Johnson the promising undrafted DT, Terence Fede, Dion Sims the TE and Thigpen all missing out.
I state the obvious, but we have lots of talent who will miss out on making the roster. There will be some great battles in Training Camp.

Thomas was the best of the 3 on ST's, with Kovac playing well, and Jones missing 4 tackles..

The Pouncey deal could also save a player from being plucked from the practice squad. Doesn't the Jordan suspension open a spot as well?
 
I wouldn't count out Binns either.

I'm not sure how suspensions affect roster spots.

I would think Jordan and Pouncey both count against.

Pouncey would not count to my knowledge if he went on the short term PUP. (8 weeks)
 
-Jalil Brown and Daniel Thomas do not make the 53.
-Anthony Johnson and Damian Williams do.
-Sims vs Egnew vs Hoskins should be interesting for the #2/#3 TE spot. Lynch is guaranteed a spot imo.
-Did I miss something or is Tripp's first name Jordan instead of Jordie?

Yeah, Pouncey depends on how long he will be out. I know that a suspended player cannot be on the active roster, as he is not getting paid. I believe we can keep someone in Jordan's place for the 4 weeks.
