Where did it all go wrong for the Dolphins – The Splash Zone 10/17/25

The Miami Dolphins were all the rage two years ago with their high octane offense. Things were looking good, but things are definitely not good at the moment. So how did the team get to this point? Well, they let plenty of talent walk out the door and brought in cheap, often injured, players to replace those that they lost. They also didn’t make a ton of draft picks from 2022 – 23 and the only play that has survived is running back De’Von Achane. Besides Achane, they really haven’t hit on many draft picks and the most recent ones are going through some growing pains.
