The Miami Dolphins are amid an important NFL offseason as they look to build off of last season and take their explosive offense to new heights in 2024. With much of their game-changing talent coming at the skill position, their focus will be on adding and building their offensive line.
The latest move to do so is by re-signing versatile offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn and signing former Philadelphia Eagles OL Jack Driscoll.
With Wynn staying in Miami following Monday’s re-signing, and Driscoll now in the fold what does the Dolphins’ OL depth chart look like? And the burning question — what will the starting five look like following the draft?
Miami Dolphins OL Depth Chart
Projected Starters:
- LT Terron Armstead
- LG Isaiah Wynn
- C Aaron Brewer
- RG Robert Jones
- RT Austin Jackson
Projected Backups:
- Ryan Hayes
- Lester Cotton
- Liam Eichenberg
- Chasen Hines
- Kion Smith
- Jack Driscoll
After the re-signing of Wynn and , the Dolphins currently have 11 offensive linemen under contract, according to Ourlads.
With Armstead also staying in Miami, the Dolphins are expected to return three starters across the offensive line. The team has lost Robert Hunt as well as center Connor Williams with newcomer Aaron Brewer penciled in at center to take his place. Wynn will serve as a depth piece on an offensive line that will be looking to improve in 2024.
Having Armstead in the fold at left tackle is important, but the job is unfinished up front for the Dolphins this offseason, and the team recognizes they still have work to do to build a complete unit for Week 1.
Will the Dolphins Add an Offensive Lineman in the First Round of the NFL Draft?
While free agency is an important tool to use, it’s oftentimes more expensive and less successful than hitting on a pick in the draft. The Dolphins, by many draft experts’ estimation, are expected to covet OL help early in this year’s upcoming NFL Draft.
Many have mocked Georgia tackle Amarius Mims and Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson to the Dolphins since the season has concluded. You can also throw names like Duke’s Graham Barton into the mix as well.

There are multiple ways the Dolphins could decide to go in the draft, but it’s clear that their biggest needs as a team reside along the offensive line. With talent and speed on the outside and a stable of game-breaking running backs in the backfield, having the right big men up front to keep the QB upright will be paramount to their success.
The Dolphins have begun to lay the groundwork to do so, but it’s clear that the job in their minds is not done yet.
