This Former First-Round Pick Is Ranked 67th on Miami's Roster and Their Rebuild Is Already Facing Questions

Alright, hold up, 12s, you gotta hear this. While we're out here in the Emerald City getting ready for what's next, down in Miami, things are getting WILD. The Dolphins just tore down their roster after the 2025 season and are going full rebuild, bringing in a ton of new faces. But get this, they’ve got a staggering 91 players on their roster right now and they’re already ranking them by importance. And when you look at the bottom of that list, a former first-round pick is barely clinging on, and honestly, it makes you wonder what kind of mess they’re even building down there!

Miami’s Massive Offseason Overhaul

So, GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and Head Coach Jeff Hafley are deep into a full-blown organizational rebuilding project. They’ve waved goodbye to a bunch of veteran guys and welcomed newcomers, young and old. After their roster moves on Monday and then signing former UFL tackle Gottlieb Ayedze on Wednesday, they hit that 91-player mark. And yeah, they even got an exemption for England-born rookie tight end Seydou Traore, thanks to the International Player Pathway Program. It's a whole new squad, but not every player is created equal, as we know in this league. They’re ranking everyone based on ability, expected role, and how much they matter to the team's progress. That’s a lot of churn, and a lot of uncertainty as they head into training camp at the end of July.

The Bottom Rung: A First-Round Bust and Long Shots

Now, let's talk about the guys barely making the list, specifically players 66-70. It’s a rough look for some of these hopefuls. At number 70, you've got running back Donovan Edwards. This dude was a standout at Michigan, but he never really panned out with the New York Jets as a late-round pick. He's trying to restart his career in Miami, but honestly, it’s tough to see him getting much of a role, even if he makes the team. Number 69 is safety Omar Brown. He was one of the first guys the Dolphins signed after Sullivan got hired and he came over from the Green Bay Packers. Problem is, he didn't play last year after getting waived with an injury settlement. Yeah, Miami has openings at safety, but Brown looks like a serious long shot.

Then there’s EDGE Cameron Goode at number 68. He’s been with the Dolphins since being a seventh-round pick back in 2022, but he’s mainly been a special teams guy and has dealt with a ton of injuries. He didn't even practice during the spring sessions open to the media. Right now, he's only 50-50 to make the 53-man roster, and a big role on defense? Forget about it. But the real kicker is wide receiver Jalen Reagor at number 67. The Dolphins took a shot on a former first-round pick, which I get, but let’s be real. History shows that a player without a team who signs in June isn't likely to make the squad, let alone make an impact. This kind of situation, with a former top pick ranked so low, tells you a lot about the uphill battle this team is facing.

So, as the Dolphins march towards training camp, these early rankings aren’t just about depth. They’re a harsh reality check on just how much work this rebuilding project needs. Can these fringe guys even make the cut? More importantly, what does it mean for the season when players this high profile are struggling to find a place on the team? We’ll be watching to see if any of these guys can surprise everyone and find a path forward.
