2 days ago | phinphanatic.com | Brian Miller

The Miami Dolphins need leadership on the field, leadership they can rely upon. Jaylen Waddle is one of those players who needs to become just that. OTAs don't mean much in the overall plan for an NFL regular season, but they do set a tone of expectation for players and coaches. While they won't answer a bunch of questions leading into training camp, they can provide glimpses of what could be expected.

It's not going well. The Miami Dolphins' OTAs are underway, and it has already exposed a major problem without Jalen Ramsey. Ramsey is not among the Dolphins players participating. He continues to wait for his Miami exit via trade, a move that could happen by the end of next week. Without him, the Dolphins' depleted cornerback room is under serious pressure.

The Miami Dolphins lost several free agents in 2025, and some of them will return to face them. When the 2025 free agency period began, it was presumed that Jevon Holland would be gone. The Dolphins' former second-round pick had made it clear over the last year, and especially the final months prior to his departure, that he wasn't likely going to come back. If there were any ill will or internal issues between Holland and the Dolphins, they kept it in-house.

Can he make this year's roster? The Miami Dolphins saw enough in undrafted tight end Julian Hill that they signed him after the 2023 NFL Draft completed. So far, there have been flashes of his potential, but there is also enough to see that he may not end up with a spot on Miami's final 2025 roster. Jonnu Smith clearly showcased his ability to handle the Dolphins' offense.

Would make a lot of fans happyThe Miami Dolphins made a move this offseason that had fans wanting Chris Grier's job more than normal. Mini-camp and OTA season are upon us, serving as a reminder that training camp is still a long way away, and there will be a drought when it is over.

It's a reminder that football season will returnThe NFL schedule was released in full earlier in May, but there have been some questions regarding the first action of the season. Preseason isn't real football, but it is when you have waited months for some action on the field. The NFL has reduced the exhibition season to just three games as part of the CBA negotiations for a 17th game. Eventually, there may not be preseason games of any kind.

Another coach and another clueEveryone knows that Jalen Ramsey and the Miami Dolphins are standing on opposite sides of a nearly destroyed bridge, despite nothing being done to change it. Dolphins general manager Chris Grier stood at a podium before the NFL Draft and confirmed the rumors that Ramsey and the team were going to seek a trade. That hasn't happened yet. Miami head coach Mike McDaniel would later dismiss all questions about Ramsey while talking about this year's draft picks.

Dolphins' baffling draft tradition refuses to die after 2025 pick

All the problems on the roster, this wasn't one of themIt wouldn't be an NFL Draft without the Miami Dolphins spending a draft pick on a running back, and that's exactly what they did on Saturday when they selected former Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon in the sixth round. Gordon is two years removed from winning the Doak Walker Award for best back in the country. Now, he will join a Dolphins team that is stacked with running back talent.
