I'm not sure if there's a worse roster in the entire NFL, and that's putting it nicely. Overall, Miami seems to be in a full rebuilding mode, as they have many holes throughout their entire team. I do like the addition of Josh Rosen, who'll get a fresh start with the Dolphins this season.

Firstly, I have major concerns with Miami's offensive line, though. By my calculations, it isn't drastically better than Arizona's. And, as far as I'm concerned, the only offensive line position the Dolphins have solidified is their left tackle with Laremy Tunsil. Rookie Michael Deiter and Jordan Mills are solid additions, but they won't resolve all of Miami's offensive line struggles.

Don't get me wrong, the Dolphins have some nice pieces on both sides of the ball. Xavien Howard, whom they just signed to a five-year, $76 million dollar extension recently, is an elite corner who recorded seven interceptions last season. Minkah Fitzpatrick is an intriguing player heading into his second season, too. Meanwhile, Kenny Stills, DeVante Parker, and Albert Wilson are a more dynamic group of receivers than what Rosen had to work with during his short stint in Arizona.

Some might even argue that Kenyan Drake is a better running back than David Johnson. Regardless, it certainly takes more than just a couple of solid players on both sides of the ball to create a formidable team. There's just too many questions surrounding the Dolphins right now, which is why I can't see them winning more than six games in 2019.
