Of course Miami is last, seems many so called experts are just plain lazy.
If Dolphins were interested in losing enough to pick a QB next year, they would not have been so aggressive to take Rosen.
Miami lost quite a few starters, but not one will hurt Miami from being the team they were in 2018, except maybe early healthy Tannehill.
There is a reason why Miami last year came out hot, and were in 1st place before losing to the Pats (Where nobody wins). Injuries yet again became a problem, including the QB position.
With the players Miami lost, compared to what they got back....
1.The WR position still should be very good when Wilson gets back.
2. At RB, though I admire and think highly of Gore, to me Drake should have been starting from day one.
3. The O-line lost a solid to good R-Tackle, but let us not a try to act like 1st he was a Pro-bowl player, or that he was not fighting injuries.
4. At QB we now have a solid QB with quality starting skill for 4-5 games, and a young QB that could have franchise QB skills...Probably where we have best improved.
5. TE was not used the right way, so worst case is just as bad, best case we find a star in there.
6. D-line we have interior linemen that can play inside when we are 4-3, and can take over a 3-4, line with no problem. Though we lost Wake, he was somewhat declining, thanks to the draft, we got a DT, that can be disruptive at DT IN a 4-3, or at end in a 3-4.
7. The LB squad got a lot of competition, and with a defensive minded HC, this squad will get fixed quick...especially when in 3-4.
8. Though there are not much new blood that we can say will make this secondary better, there is good to great talent here already (with 3 players that have pro-bowl talent), so at worst, this squad should be as good, though I think with Flores as HC, this squad, even more then LB will have his undivided attention.
The only thing that makes me feel Miami could fail is, as this Coaching staff is trying to find themselves with these players...The schedule is brutal.
