ESPN tabs late UDFA addition as Dolphins' sleeper to watch

The Miami Dolphins are, by most accounts, absolutely loaded in the defensive backfield. Head coach Brian Flores’ defense finds much of its identity in the opportunities to match personnel and…

If he sticks, I think he could be listed as a safety. Despite having three good players there, our depth is... well... shallow.

Holley? 34 year old McCourty?

Currently the Dolphins list him at CB, but his eventual landing spot could be as a back up safety.

I like the way this team develops players. I have no idea if Trill will develop or not or even make the team. But I do believe that Miami will find players and develop them at a higher rate than they have over the last several years. The Pats always had players come up from seemingly nowhere and play well. A big factor was that they had so much else in place that they had a bigger margin for error, but it was also how well they found and taught players to fit into those sub-package roles. I always saw a stark contrast between Pat's fans and Miami fans in that regard. They could lose a player to injury, trade or whatever and the fans trusted the team enough not to panic. Miami fans are more like a battered spouse. They panic all the time and want to bring in some "established" FA or use some other big asset. I have always believed in the importance of development. If I see a good process then I trust that good things will come more often than not. That's what I see in Miami under Flores. I trust his process and expect that the good times will come.

I agree, this coaching staff seems to thrive in wanting to develop players for the scheme and roles they envision for them.

Spot on. Think he's more of a combo type player, who may be better as a safety?

Yes but lately there have also been some pretty good ones Like Needham & Williams

Was just gonna say. We might hear a ton more hyped up that never make,but plenty do.

Trill would have been a mid rounder if he hadn't gotten injured and was able to display his size/athleticism combo at the combine.

He's over 6 feet, 208, vert of nearly 40, ~4.4 speed, and benched 20 times. He made Bruce Feldman's Freaks List for a reason. He was still recovering and has even said he felt forced to do his pro day even tho he wasn't healthy.

He could be just another name we never hear of after this offseason. But he's easily one of the most likely UDFA's we have to be the next Needham/Preston.

I have nothing invested in him. He's just found money if he's ever a rotation player.

Not to be a Debbie downer but every year is filled with stories around this time of UDFAs destined to make an impact. And almost always they are never heard from again.

Which may be true but I enjoy rooting for these kids regardless. If he sticks great for the team and him.
 
Who knows, maybe we have another Preston Williams on our hands. He was prohected as a mid round pick, so he’s worth keeping an eye on.
 
It's looking like the Dolphins are going to have to cut a lot of good players to make 53. That sounds like a 'good problem'....until it's later in the year and we have injuries and there's none of those 'good players' available, or we cut the wrong guys and the guys we kept suck.

I think the most likely scenario is practice squad. Of course, you never know.
