It’s a strange feeling being that it’s the first week of January and we’re not talking about offseason plans for the Miami Dolphins.
Although they’re likely to get blasted in the first round of the playoffs next Sunday on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers if the point spread (10) is any indication, they’re in the playoffs, which is a miracle considering the 1-4 start and the lack of talent across the roster.
With the regular season over, let’s check out how the Miami Dolphins fared on a positional basis, per Pro Football Focus rankings. The Dolphins’ top five graded players are as follows:

  1. Reshad Jones (88.5)
  2. Ndamukong Suh (88.4)
  3. Cam Wake (87.4)
  4. Jay Ajayi (86.8)
  5. Jarvis Landry (85.1)
Note: Grades range from 1 to 100
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill ranked 13th among NFL passers this year, while backup Matt Moore, who was thrust into action in Week 14, would rank 27th if he had enough snaps to qualify.
No running back graded out as high as Jay Ajayi, who experienced a breakthrough season in Year 2, rushing for 1,272 yards and eight touchdowns on 4.9 yards per carry.
The Dolphins have a solid trio of wideouts this year. Jarvis Landry ranked 10th, DeVante Parker ranked 22nd, and Kenny Stills ranked 54th. Tight end Dion Sims ranked 40th while Jordan Cameron missed most of the season due to injury.
The offensive line didn’t seem to be as inept this year but players didn’t fare well individually, with Ja’Wuan James ranking 32nd and Branden Albert ranking 65th among offensive tackles. With the 32-year-old Albert due over $10 million next season, expect a restructure if he returns.
At offensive guard, rookie Laremy Tunsil ranked 48th while Jermon Bushrod ranked a putrid 74th of 76 players and was PFF’s lowest graded run blocker of the year. All three of Miami’s centers ranked in the bottom nine at the position.

hope BA restructures. Give tonsil one more year so we only have to fix one guard this off season.
 
Those grades seem about right to me

Ozzy rules!!
 
Jay ajayi has become a mission critical

ha ha brandon albert 65th rated ot :lol:
 
Seems bogus to say our OL was still that bad. They were quite solid for most of the year. Bad at times, sure. But harsh grades.. stills 54th? Idk on that
 
Yeah as really however the O.L. needs just a bit more beefing up.

i thought the same thing. How does Parker rank ahead of him when they have similar catches/yards? The scoring algorithm must not factor in, oh I don't know, when a guy has TDs of 25+ yards.

Also was Bushrod really that bad?
 
The o-line wasn't all that great but they've been bad for so long and I mean real bad that this year they were average and people on here think they were great but there weren't. Lots of those yards for Ajayi come after contact.

Ozzy rules!!
 
the OL couldn't pick up a blitz if they knew who was coming from where. Horrible in obvious pressure downs in most cases.

Yet there are those who think that the next draft should be all defense because the o-line is fine. Personally, I'd love to see Albert, Pouncey, and Bushrod replaced for next season... I'll give James another year.
