Miami Dolphins team needs

A season after their surprising playoff appearance the Miami Dolphins struggled with injuries and inconsistent play. The offensive struggled to make big plays in the passing game and the defense had trouble getting consistent pressure on the quarterback and stopping the run. If the Dolphins want to get back to the playoffs they need to fill some important holes.

1. Wide Receiver

- It’s time to consider Ted Ginn Jr. a bust and a big play threat needs to be found. If the Dolphins want Chad Henne to succeed they need to provide him with weapons. I think that Dez Bryant would be a nice fit for this offense and could be around at pick # 12.

2. Nose Tackle

- The nose tackle position is arguably the most important position in the 3-4 defenses. Current nose tackle Jason Ferguson is aging and constantly injured. I think it’s time to start looking for a replacement and Dan Williams could be the Dolphins pick at #12. They also could gamble that Terrence Cody slips to them in the second round.

3. Linebacker

- Miami could use upgrades at both the inside and outside linebacker positions. Jerry Porter will be moving on and Jason Taylor is inching closer to retirement. They signed Cameron Wake last offseason but he still has to prove he is the long term solution. Channing Crowder continues to struggle with staying healthy and when healthy he could use a playmaking partner inside.
