East. Miami Dolphins. 59. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. AFC. 2. player

Ideally, state tax usually isn’t something players look at when negotiating deals. If they did, the Dolphins would always be a home run team in free agency each offseason. This year though, the team just needed to add in a young quarterback and enough pieces on offense to make South Beach incredibly enticing.

Tua Tagovailoa hasn’t been asked to do much on his 3-0 run as the Dolphins starter. How much can he do with the receiving corp at hand though? DeVante Parker always has played a better supporting role than No.1 receiver, even in his breakout 2019 campaign. Preston Williams was an undrafted gem find before he got hurt, now putting his production moving forward in jeopardy. Those are the two best players at the position and it’s not even close for a bronze option.

Brian Flores has Miami winning in the middle of a rebuild. Imagine what they could do with another weapon to heavily command plays in the slot. Next season after another loaded draft haul, the Dolphins will hopefully be in contention.

Surrounding your young quarterback with quality weapons is essential to their success. Smith-Schuster easily becomes the team’s top target and with $37 million in cap space, he’s affordable for Chris Grier to grab.
