1 pending free agent Dolphins should target from each NFC West team

The Dolphins will enter 2020 free agency window with 1 of the biggest cap totals in the league. Who should they target from the NFC West?

Arizona Cardinals – Nose Tackle Zach Kerr

(We almost said RB Kenyan Drake — just to see the look on your face.)

Nose tackle isn’t a sexy position, but it is a needed one for the Dolphins. As good as Christian Wilkins and Davon Godchaux can be, the team is doing both a disservice when they placed either in the A-gap. Neither Wilkins or Godchaux has the ideal skill set of a nose tackle — someone who can eat up space and occupy gaps to let their teammates make plays in the backfield.

But Zach Kerr? The 334 pound defensive tackle is absolutely a nose tackle and for the 40% snap rate he’d probably command in this Dolphins defense, he’d be a perfect fit.

The addition of a nose tackle would allow Wilkins and Godchaux to occupy the B-gaps more freely and gain more one on one opportunities to shoot gaps and create chaos.
