What are the Miami Dolphins’ three biggest offensive needs in 2021?

The Miami Dolphins’ offseason is well underway — the team is bracing for a critical week of evaluation next week in Mobile, Alabama as the 2021 Reese’s Senior Bowl marks the official beginning of the NFL Draft process. Between now and the draft, Miami will of course have to tackle free agency; but both landmarks offer the Dolphins a critical chance to level up their roster and position the team to contend in 2021.

What are the key points of emphasis? Where must the Dolphins invest their time, energy and resources? Here are Miami’s three most pressing needs on the offensive side of the football entering this critical offseason for Miami.

Wide Receiver

The need of wide receiver isn’t a question of which one to add but rather how many receivers the team will add. The good news for Miami is that this is a great offseason to need wide receivers from both a free agency and NFL Draft perspective. The team may avoid to make the premiere investments into position (although we still consider DeVonta Smith at No. 3 overall to be the most likely outcome for April’s draft) but the tier 2 wide receivers of both free agency and the draft would be upgrades over what Miami currently boasts on the roster.
