The Miami Dolphins roster could certainly use a few upgrades — but we already knew that. The Dolphins’ needs span from a sure thing at quarterback, some effective offensive line play across the board and some boosts to the pass rush. Only every major position on the team, no big deal. Perhaps there are some answers lingering on the roster. The Dolphins will certainly get the chance to address their needs come next offseason with all of their 2020 NFL Draft capital.
But what if we could take one player from any other team in the NFL and plug him onto the Dolphins? Who would be the most impactful addition? The quarterback position makes this hypothetical too easy to answer, so to keep things interesting consider it barred!
(Plus, the Dolphins need to find out what they have in Josh Rosen first!)
There is one perfect answer — a young difference maker who plays a position of need for the Dolphins and has found production through his first few years in the NFL despite not having a lot of help beside him on the line of scrimmage. The only answer for our money is Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett.
Garrett, just 23-years old, has already logged 20.5 sacks in 27 career contests after the Cleveland Browns made him the #1 overall selection of the 2017 NFL Draft. With 67 total pressures in 2018, Garrett was one of the most productive pass rushers in all of the NFL. He’s got surreal size, speed, power and mobility — all of which would make him the perfect addition to the Dolphins’ roster and immensely boost the Dolphins’ ability to get after opposing passers.
Garrett and new teammate Olivier Vernon will get a chance to shake up the Dolphins this year — the teams are scheduled to play in November.
