2017 NFL Draft Order: Updated Selections Heading Into Divisional Round
By Dan Parzych
22. Miami Dolphins
The argument will be made that if Ryan Tannehill was fully healthy along with numerous other key players, the Miami Dolphins would have played a much better game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs. With that being said, the Dolphins deserve plenty of credit for making the playoffs in the first place after how all hope seemed lost at the beginning of the season.
To see Miami make the postseason after a 1-4 start was simply phenomenal, as there was even a point where they went on to win nine of 10 games. They may have been eliminated from the playoffs early on, but there’s no reason why the Dolphins shouldn’t be able to carry this success over to the 2017 season.
Once again, Adam Gase continued to prove he’s an offensive genius, and it’s obvious Miami made the right choice by making him their head coach prior to the start of the 2016 season. Don’t look now, but the Dolphins may be a dangerous team in the AFC for the next couple of years is if this season is any indication of what to expect.
After watching their performance against Pittsburgh, this Miami team has no reason to feel disappointed about their season.
