While the Dolphins have positions that need to be addressed they have some that don’t. At least not now.

Quarterback

Tannehill will be able to return in full for off-season work and Matt Moore is under contract for one more season. The Dolphins will shop for competition for Brandon Doughty but drafting a mid-round quarterback to replace Moore in 2018 isn’t out of the question either.

Running back

The Dolphins might look for depth but they have to be thrilled with the play they got from Jay Ajayi and Kenyan Drake’s potential. Add to that the improvements made by Damien Williams and the Dolphins should be fine.

Wide-receiver

The biggest question is whether or not the Dolphins keep Kenny Stills. If they don’t, it will be Leonte Carroo’s job to earn, win, and succeed at.

Safety

Reshad Jones and Isa Abdul-Quddus will be back. Miami might draft a safety for the future, which they should but they have solid players in place.
