A Former First-Round Pick Is Ranked 67th: Why Miami's Rebuild Is THIS Deep

The NFL offseason is wild, right? But Miami's Dolphins? Next-level crazy! These guys are heading into training camp at the end of July with a completely different squad from 2025. It's a full-blown roster overhaul: massive veterans out, new faces, young and old, rolling in. After their moves this week, they’re sitting at 91 players, plus an exemption for rookie tight end Seydou Traore from the International Player Pathway Program. This screams how much work GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and HC Jeff Hafley face with their rebuild!

Long Shots and Comeback Hopes

When you're rebuilding, every player counts, and some are just fighting for their NFL lives. Take Donovan Edwards, ranked 70th. This Michigan standout didn't click with the Jets as a late-round pick. Now, he's trying to jump-start his career in Miami. Honestly, tough to see him making the team or snagging a role. Brutal reality. Then there's Omar Brown at 69th. He was among the first players GM Sullivan signed, coming from the Green Bay Packers. Kicker? He didn't play last year, waived with injury settlement.

ameron Goode, coming in at 68th, has been with the Dolphins since being a seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft. He's mainly been a special teams player and, man, he's had more than his share of injuries. The kicker? He didn't practice during the spring sessions open to the media. So, 50-50 for the 53-man roster, and a big defensive role? Tough to envision.

The First-Round Pick Fighting for Air

But here’s the one that truly slaps you in the face: Jalen Reagor at 67th. A *former first-round pick* ranked 67th on a rebuilding team! Seriously? Dolphins felt it was right to take a shot, which I get. Gotta kick the tires on talent. But let's be realistic, my friends. History tells us: player without a team who signs in June? Odds of making team, let alone impact, are incredibly slim. It screams desperation. This highlights how deep Miami's rebuild really is when a former top-tier pick is this far down the depth chart, struggling. These rankings are just a taste of what’s to come as Miami preps for training camp. For these guys, it’s all on the line. Every snap, every practice, it’s a make-or-break situation for their NFL dreams. We'll be watching to see if any of these long shots can defy the odds. The stakes for their careers couldn't be higher!
