The Miami Dolphins have been one of the most active teams in the NFL since the end of their 2025 campaign, which saw head coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier lose their jobs. Over the last few months, the Dolphins have found a new duo to lead their front office and coaching staff, while almost completely turning over their roster through free agency, trades, and the 2026 NFL draft.

With 13 players selected in the draft, Miami's roster looks vastly different than it did just a few months ago. But how do they stack up against the rest of the league at this point in the offseason?

ESPN recently released their post-draft NFL power rankings, and the outlook isn't pretty for Dolphins fans. Miami landed at the very bottom of the list at No. 32, dropping three spots from their pre-free agency ranking of No. 29. That means ESPN believes teams that were previously below the Dolphins—namely the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, and Las Vegas Raiders—all improved more than Miami did since the start of the league year.

It's a tough pill to swallow, but context matters here. The Dolphins are clearly in a rebuilding phase, and sometimes bottoming out is the best path to long-term success. For a team that's essentially starting fresh with new leadership and a revamped roster, hitting rock bottom could be the foundation for a strong comeback.

On the bright side, this means there's plenty of room for growth, and for fans, it's a chance to watch a new era unfold. Whether you're stocking up on Dolphins gear to show support during the rebuild or just keeping an eye on the league's shifting landscape, one thing is clear: Miami has a long road ahead, but every great comeback starts with a low point.
