The big news out of South Florida is that Anthony Weaver will return for a second season as defensive coordinator after flirting with the Saints' HC job. Weaver's defense were 4th in yards per game (314.4) and 10th in points per game (21.4) in 2024. Darrell Bevell will also return to continue working with Tua as the QBs coach. Bevell lost out on the Raiders' OC job to Chip Kelly.

Craig Aukerman arrives as the new special teams coordinator. Aukerman replaces Danny Crossman who overstayed his welcome on a unit that had underperformed since he arrived. Wes Welker lost his job as WRs coach and will be replaced by Robert Prince. Whether Prince will get to work with Tyreek Hill remains to be seen. Reggie McKenzie left the front office to take a similar role in Tennessee.

With the coaching staff in place, attentions turn to Free Agency and The Draft. The Dolphins have a very distinct set of needs. In no particular order, Miami must:

  • Get a better backup QB for Tua
  • Improve the interior of the O-line
  • Add depth to the interior of the D-line
  • Reset the secondary.
At safety, Jevon Holland should be allowed to test the FA market. Holland, in 2024, didn't perform as well as he had in previous seasons. Jordan Poyer was a liability in coverage and gave up some dumb penalties; he surely won't return. Patrick McMorris, a RD6 rookie, may get a chance to start, but Miami should be looking to add two new safeties.

DOLPHINS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS

Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.
Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".

Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
