The Miami Dolphins have had a solid offseason, becoming a more financially fit franchise, and producing a stellar draft, one that added some playmakers and continues to build in the trenches.
But those roster moves made this offseason don’t ensure that the Dolphins closed the gap between themselves and the Buffalo Bills, the reigning AFC East champions, who dominated Miami in the 2020 regular-season finale, an embarrassing 56-26 loss with a postseason berth on the line for Miami.
During the 2021 NFL draft the Dolphins added the team’s highest-rated pass rusher (Jaelan Phillips) and safety (Javon Holland), and the second-highest rated receiver (Jaylen Waddle) and tight end (Hunter Long) on their draft board.
