The whole article is a good read.,

“This year’s offseason for the Dolphins was all about drafting the best players and leaders and filling holes left vacant after an offseason which saw the Dolphins get into the black in terms of cap space and straighten out their balance sheet.

Gone is the rather needy Landry.

Gone is Suh who could never build a consistent portfolio of games even though he was the highest rated player according to PFF.”

“Clearly, Head coach Adam Gase, GM Chris Grier, and finally VP Mike Tannenbaum had a plan in mind and they all made sure that one: the Dolphins locker room didn’t divide when dealing with a tough loss or two and players were traded or rumor to be traded and two-add depth to every position.
As of now, OTAs have passed and the Dolphins like the look of their team with both young players and veterans buying in to Adam Gase’s system-straight laced, fair, and learn the X’s and O’s before you step on the field.”

Pretty significant comment from the article - "The Defense has a new leader and his name is Raekwon McMillan..."
I was also interested to observe that Tannehill had his new buddy, Raekwon with him on the fishing trip the other day. These guys had ACL surgeries on the same day and competed every day with each other in rehab for months. Both are now healthy but the other real positive to come out from this is that our leaders on Offense and Defense are close. I sense that Tannehill has had to learn how to be a leader, while Raekwon is very young (just 22) it is far more natural for him - the guy is just quietly confident and Urban Meyer saw it at Ohio State straight away. These are still early days in McMillan's comeback where he is essentially a rookie but it is significant that the author, Mike Oliva, has already identified Raekwon's natural leadership.
