Making back-to-back playoff berths for the first time in more than 20 years, the Dolphins have elevated their operation under Mike McDaniel. The drivers of that effort became more expensive this offseason, and the team again replaced its defensive coordinator. The Dolphins ranked first in total offense for the first time since Dan Marino‘s age-33 season (1994), but another late-season letdown — albeit with significant injury problems — became the lead story for this team.

One of those undrafted free agents is safety Tyler Owens. A former five-star prospect, Owens committed to Texas out of high school, where he played three seasons before transferring to Texas Tech for the last two years of his college career. A phenomenal athlete, Owens wasn’t drafted but was a priority undrafted free agent. Washington signed Owens, and he made the 53-man roster after a terrific training camp and preseason.

The folks out in Vegas are skeptical of this year's Vikings. Skeptical, or on top of it. Minnesota's over-under win total is mostly hovering around 6 1/2. That's what happens when you play in an ascending division, lose your starting quarterback and, frankly, have talent voids at numerous spots. Those holes leave uncertainty, but also, potentially, opportunity. Spots to surprise. Places to pluck potential advantages.

• Myles Garrett is the best No. 1 overall pick since 2015: It was a close call between him and Joe Burrow, but Garrett is working on five straight years of elite PFF grades, with his best yet coming in 2023 alongside a historically high pass-rush win rate. • Three edge rushers take the top three spots: The Bosa brothers round out the top three as elite draft picks at the Nos. 2 and 3 spots.

The term “upside” is thrown around every draft season, and it is often used to describe athleticism or measurables. But one problem with assuming upside is figuring out where to weigh it in the process. Does it matter more than the film or a player’s character evaluation? Athleticism is often used as a proxy for implying that “this guy will get better” at the next level, but is that always true?

The NFL Draft is under a month away, and the frenzy of 2024 mock drafts has reached peaked heights. Football analysts and draftniks across the board are attempting to piece together plausible and convincing real-life draft selections for all 32 teams. The primary rationale behind these choices usually comes down to “team needs” or “best player available,” but there’s a third factor that isn’t considered enough: the historical track records of GMs and other decision-makers in the team war rooms.

More than any other American sports league, the NFL has made all of its ancillary, non-game events required viewing. This is most true of the draft and the scouting combine, two events that get covered with overwhelming enthusiasm and scrutiny. The combine has become a true made-for-television event, as drills and testing take center stage. Naturally, with so much attention, and draft prospects training specifically to ace their testing, the drills themselves yield crazy performances.

• The Cowboys have few first-round misses in their recent draft history: Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb and Leighton Vander Esch are among the team's hits over the past decade. • A decade of first-round struggles for the Raiders: Perhaps the team most known for reaching in the first round, the Raiders turned six first-round selections from 2019-21 into one capable starter — a running back. • Try PFF's Mock Draft Simulator: You can trade picks and players and draft for your favorite NFL team.
