The Dolphins will be itching to boost their offensive line here but they have to resist the temptation. As critical as that is, the talent just isn’t there. They have to think about getting the best players they can regardless of position. Since the defensive line remains a strength for them, it’s quite an opportunistic moment getting Dexter Lawrence. While he’s not the most polished defensive tackle in the class, he might be the most physically gifted. Size, strength, speed, quickness, he has it all. When his motor is revved up he’s proven he can take over games and make it almost impossible to do anything offensively.
