Running Back

No one should be overlooking the quality season Myles Gaskin had for the Dolphins in 2020. He was effective as both a rusher and as a ball carrier. But Gaskin’s athletic profile doesn’t necessarily mesh with the rest of Miami’s recent investments in the running game. The Dolphins went out and secured a bunch of big bodied bruisers in the run game and Gaskin, at just over 200 pounds, can’t really back up their punch at first contact and power through gaps and create added yardage in the hole.

Miami can go about this one of two ways: they can look to add explosive speed or they can look to add size and power. We lean towards power being a more likely addition; and there’s plenty of options in the early portions of the 2021 NFL Draft to bring tackle breaking abilities to the backfield.
