While the Miami Dolphins are hot on the trail of a postseason berth in 2020, the future of this team is still impossible to ignore — because of all of the resources at the Dolphins’ disposal. Which makes forecasting the future very exciting. The latest? Draft Wire’s 2021 NFL Mock Draft. And inside, the Dolphins got a very significant boost to their offensive depth chart — including key reinforcements to their skill groups and a potential upgrade in the heart of their offensive line.

No. 7 overall – LSU WR Ja’Marr Chase
Chase’s addition would be a big boost to Miami’s wide receiver corp, which needs more playmakers and more dynamic play as they look to build the optimal supporting cast around QB Tua Tagovailoa. What makes Chase an interesting pick is that he’s largely an outside receiver and his addition would likely push Preston Williams into a depth role in the Dolphins’ offense opposite DeVante Parker on the outside. That may not be a bad thing given the questionable durability of Williams, though.
