I don't see this posted anywhere, please delete if it has been already. We do have multiple key players just over 25 but still, I thought this list was surprising

Ranking all 32 NFL teams by under-25 talent: Which teams have the best -- and worst -- young cores?

We stacked every team's core of young players heading into the 2024 season. Which rosters have the best under-25 talent in the league?

I’ll take your word for it since I don’t pay to read ESPN’s opinions.

Only thing I look at on espn is scores .. their opinions are as good as mine.

Sorry, it's behind a paywall

How about a summary?

 

[The Goat]

Miami is an old team, relatively speaking. But far, far too much is made of this.

There's a paywall? Hmmm..not for me and I haven't given ESPN a dime in my life, weird. Sorry about that. Anyways, here's the Dolphins assessment

32. Miami Dolphins​

2023 ranking: 24

Blue-chip players: None

Notable graduated players: WR Jaylen Waddle, OT Austin Jackson, EDGE Jaelan Phillips, CB Kader Kohou

It's hard to know how much credit to give Miami for 22-year-old running back De'Von Achane. He had an incredible rookie season, with 7.8 yards per carry and 11 combined touchdowns. But that's over just 11 games and 130 touches. He's a great player but also a great part-time player.

The other main youngster with NFL experience is 24-year-old safety Jevon Holland. In three NFL seasons, Holland has posted four sacks and five interceptions. Otherwise, the top talents here are rookies: first-round edge rusher Chop Robinson (21) and second-round offensive tackle Patrick Paul (22). There's also cornerback Cam Smith (23), last year's second-round pick who hasn't earned a starting job yet.

Austin Jackson is 24

My guess is the lack of draft picks through trades and tampering penalties has much to do with this low ranking. There have been some misses and "to be determined" players, but the list of players in the review is pretty impressive IMO.

Austin Jackson is 24

He'll be 25 before the season starts

Not surprised at all. How many draft picks did we hit on in 2022 and 2023

Is this an issue?

We did sign a lot of vets this off-season.

Miami didn't have a first or second in 2022, or a first in 2023, so it's difficult to hold them accountable for that.

I did not have a paywall issue.
