The Miami Dolphins entered the latest NFL Draft focused on strengthening their defensive lineup, successfully drafting three defensive tackles. However, they overlooked a crucial area, the offensive tackle position, which became even more pressing after Terron Armstead's retirement. Jonah Savaiinaea, their second-round pick, is expected to play guard, leaving the Dolphins with Patrick Paul as the current starter. Despite his potential, Paul's inconsistent performances raise concerns about his ability to protect Tua Tagovailoa's blind side.

To bolster their offensive line, the Dolphins may consider trading for New Orleans Saints tackle Trevor Penning, who could be available following the Saints' recent draft selections of Kelvin Banks Jr. and Taliese Fuaga. Though Penning's performance has been mixed, he showed improvement while replacing Ryan Ramczyk last season. Bringing him on board would not only provide competition for Paul but also offer a safety net at a vital position as the Dolphins gear up for a pivotal season.
