One point the Dolphins have continued to raise during pre-draft conversations is the inevitability of players from other teams being cut loose once the fresh crop of rookies arrives. But the rest of the league is eying Miami’s roster for the same opportunities.
While the NFL Draft, which begins Thursday in Philadelphia, brings a wave of optimism for management and fan bases, it can be an uneasy viewing experience for some veterans. A cornerback at the tail end of his prime, for example, can’t possibly enjoy watching his bosses draft a 22-year-old version of himself this weekend.

Very few if any. The team is still full of holes.
The cut of Albert was the biggie.
 
I didn't read the article but I hope it isn't implying that Jordan Phillips might be in jeopardy of being cut. Not a chance that would happen.
 
Who's vulnerable? Ya that's funny. Jordan Phillips has zero chance of being cut.
 
"When the Dolphins get through their seven picks, three of which are in the top 100, they’ll need to make room for promising young talent. Some veterans could be waived or traded, while others will be thrown into competition to maintain their standing on the depth chart."

wow, that's a totally new concept. quick, let's write an article about it

HAHA that's funny. I think sometimes the reporters think fans are idiots.

Meanwhile, there's many on here who know way more about football (especially fins football) than these reporters who spill BS.
 
Ok I read it, took me about 20 seconds to get through the "article".

So basically Thomas Duarte will be in a battle for the No.3 TE spot IF we draft a TE. There, that's the whole piece.

I think by and large we know what our roster will look like heading into the season. I don't anticipate any surprises.

There might be more drama involving who is going to be released after week 8 to make room for TJ McDonald's roster spot.

REALLY???

Tunsil was drafted to be the franchise LT. He wasn't drafted to play guard in year # 2

really. cutting albert opened a hole in the offensive line that we will have to fill with the draft. Our attempts to do so during FA once again were futile. They keep underestimating the market for mid-tier guards, and or don't have the funds budgeted to acquire one.
 
I dont think there will be many, if any guys we'll miss too much. Maybe a guy like Mike Hull who showed flashes of talent. No way Phillips should even be pictured.
 
well, briefly glancing at the current roster on the official website, these players appear to be the most vulnerable (not all veterans, some may still have practice squad eligibility):

Lamin Barrow
Jake Brendel
Winston Chapman
Jesse Davis
Brandon Doughty
Thomas Duarte
David Fales
A.J. Hendy
Storm Johnson
Deon Lacey
Jordan Lucas
Arthur Miley
Lawrence Okoye
Chris Pantale
Senorise Perry
Lafayette Pitts
Terry Poole
Trevor Reilly
Rashawn Scott
Julius Warmsley
Brandon Watts
Nick Williams
Avery Young
 
Hopefully Matt Moore gets shown the door since he's proven to be a bum.

I dare not imagine how we'd do without those
