Here’s the bottom line on Miami’s offensive line: Per PFF, it allowed the third-most sacks (31), the most quarterback hits (54), the most pressures (237) and was partly responsible for a running game that averaged a league worst 3.3 per carry.

There’s a glaring need for at least three new starters - four if Miami moves on from Kilgore. I expect the Dolphins to try to fill at least a couple of those spots in free agency or via the trade market and then seek a starting tackle high in the draft. This will be a high priority all offseason.

It's hard to find a keeper on the offensive line. Davis was maybe the best one and, in the best case scenario, he's probably your sixth guy. Deiter was just a rookie so maybe he can develop. I'd try Davenport at guard. Boehm might end up starting somewhere, either center or guard. He's interesting.

Bottom line, Miami probably needs to get three or four starters through free agency and the draft.
 

Ted Karras G, New England Patriots


The Miami Herald reports the Dolphins have interest in free agent Ted Karras.

Karras started 15 games filling in for David Andrews last year — grading as a top-20 center at PFF. With Andrews healthy, the Patriots are expected to let Karras walk this offseason. Signing with a team like the Dolphins would give Karras his best chance to remain a starter.

So what do you guys think about Ted Karras being our starting center? Was he actually good, or just on a good OL?

We should be fine at Center. Either Kilgore or Boehm can handle it. Not sure if we need to draft one.

Or graded as bottom 12.....depends how you look at it.
 
I've got three rookies Josh Jones, Metane Muti and Matt Hennessy, two fa signings Joe Thuney and Jack Conklin joining my roster and keeping Daveport, Brown, Davis and either Calhoun, Isadora or another rookie. I'm thinking starting ol Jones, Thuney, Hennessy, Davis and Conklin.

Netane Muti is an absolute stud BUT the dude is always hurt.

2016 - Achilles, missed the whole year
2018 - Achilles again, and only played 2 games
2019 - Lisfranc injury, only played 3 games

You draft him on day 3, with one of the several picks Miami has in that range. You plan on starting Davis and Thuney in 2020, plus you still have a young Dieter as depth just in case. I wouldn't draft and then try to rely on him out the gate. Anything you get from him the first couple of years is pure icing on the cake.

Ted Karras III's father and grandfather grew up two doors down from my family in Indiana. You couldn't have asked for nicer neighbors. My sisters used to babysit his dad (who played for the Redskins) and his brothers. His great uncle was Hall of Fame d-lineman, Alex Karras, and his grandfather won a championship with the Bears. He's got NFL bloodlines and a terrific work ethic and attitude, as does his family. We'd be lucky to sign him.
