The Miami Dolphins have wrapped up their offseason training program, as rookie minicamp, organized team activities and mandatory minicamp are all in the rearview.
Now, there are a few weeks of downtime before Mike McDaniel’s squad meets again for training camp and joint practices starting in late July.
Until then, the NFL world doesn’t sleep. There will be plenty of transactions to keep everyone busy and entertained, and as always, there are discussions regarding where players rank among their peers.
Pro Football Focus has been ranking each position, and Sam Monson was responsible for ranking entire offensive line units for each team. The Dolphins landed at No. 20, as Monson has the team going into the season with the same starting five as last year.
Here’s what Monson had to say about Miami’s big men up front:
“Miami’s line improved last season, but they haven’t attacked the weaknesses as much as they could have this offseason. Adding Isaiah Wynn does provide an upgrade in Terron Armstead insurance, however.
Austin Jackson and Liam Eichenberg are significant weak links on paper, with Eichenberg earning a 39.8 overall PFF grade last season.”
Shockingly, Miami’s line is ranked as the second-best in the AFC East only behind the New England Patriots, who came in at No. 13.
The Dolphins recognize that they can’t go into 2023 with exactly the same group, so they’ve brought in players to compete for starting roles. Interior offensive lineman Dan Feeney and offensive tackles Isaiah Wynn and Cedric Ogbuehi could push Eichenberg or Jackson from their starting jobs.
At worst, Miami has added some solid depth, which, as we saw last year with Armstead, Eichenberg and Jackson dealing with injuries at points, is extremely important for this group.
