The 2022 season just came to a close with the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, and that means that the page turns to the next year right away.
While there’s still so much that can happen before the NFL draft, Touchdown Wire’s Mark Lane recently put out the post-Super Bowl power rankings for the 2023 season, and the Dolphins find themselves at No. 8 overall.

Quarterback may continue to be a problem for the Dolphins going forward if Tua Tagovailoa’s concussions affect his playing time. Coach Mike McDaniel was 1-4 when Tagovailoa was not in the lineup. Not having that first-round pick in the 2023 draft hurts being able to add more weapons.
There are many things up in the air for the Dolphins. They have no running backs and are without a true top tight end. It also wouldn’t be surprising to see them try to move on from Byron Jones, making Kader Kohou the starting cornerback opposite Xavien Howard, who also has a lot to prove.
Regardless, Miami has a lot of talent, and if they can play to their potential as they did at points in 2022, they could be true contenders.
