The Dolphins were fairly quiet this offseason in stark contrast to their activity last season. The major exception to that of course being the blockbuster trade that brought superstar DB Jamal Adams to Miami in exchange for Miami's 2 current 1st round picks as well as LB Jerome Baker. While it was a steep price, the team firmly believes the addition of a defensive playmaker like Adams can help take the defense to even greater heights. In free agency, the team did not make a single signing as they were right up against the NFL cap. The team has earned poor initial reviews for this year's draft class. While some of that may be attributed to not having picks in the first 2 rounds, the team did not seem to make use of the picks they had in the later rounds. With the 3rd round pick acquired from Denver, the team drafted local WR Nick Braman from the University of Florida, a rather confusing pick given the team has 3 solid starters entrenched at the WR position. Other noteworthy Miami draft picks included QB Sam Cutler (another headscratcher), DE Devon Traynor (expected to contribute right away), and FB Damarious Lewis (perhaps the only Day 1 starter drafted by the team).
