If they only go with 5 WR’s, I think Bowden will make the team over Williams. Two season ending injuries and numerous dropped passes just doesn’t make Williams a sure thing to make the final 53. I think his only chance to make the final 53 is if the Dolphins decide to keep 6 WR’s on the roster.
Until Doaks actually comes in and shows he can play in the NFL, I wouldn’t count him on the final 53. He lost his starting job in college after starting earlier in his career. I see him more of a practice squad player in 2021 and the Dolphins looking to upgrade the RB position in the 2022 draft.
Even though he is a free agent after the season. Unless Smythe is traded before the season, I think he will make the final 53 and it will be either Shaheen or Carter who ends up getting cut or traded. I think they will look to trade one of the TE’s and they would probably like that TE to be Smythe because they will likely lose him in free agency. I just don’t think they will cut Smythe if they can’t trade him.
