The Mock
2. San Francisco 49ers (projected trade w/ New York Jets): Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State
2021 Offseason Outlook: Safety
So much of the conversation about the future of the Miami Dolphins revolves around Tua Tagovailoa and the offense, but this team s early success came from the stellar play of their defense. Josh Boyer s (and Flo s) squad improved from the worst scoring defense in the NFL (30.9 ppg) to sixth (21.1 ppg). So, how did they do it? Chris Grier spent an exorbitant amount of money building up this side of the ball through free agency. They are now in the advantageous position of returning ten of their eleven starters on defense. With the cap shrinking for the 2021 season, they won t have a ton of money (they are projected to have just 25 million in cap space) to spend improving the defense. Though, a couple small-scale signings could go a long way towards adding depth in a few key positions. What follows is a break down, by position group, of the defense and what we can expect moving forward.
