The Miami Dolphins secondary is thin and set to get thinner with seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey expected to be traded this summer.

While the Dolphins have been poking around the veteran free agent market, and haven’t ruled out a trade for a cornerback either, for now, the Miami secondary is filled with young, inexperienced players. According to ESPN’s Ben Solak, it’s not just an area of weakness on the Dolphins roster — it’s the worst spots on any roster in the NFL.

If the Dolphins trade Jalen Ramsey, their starting secondary will be Storm Duck and Cam Smith at outside corner, Kader Kohou in the nickel and Ashtyn Davis and Ifeatu Melifonwu at safety. I’m sorry to say that’s an early candidate for “worst position group” in the league.

It’d be a surprise if the Dolphins didn’t add at least one more starting quality cornerback before the season starts this fall. The list of players who have been in contact with Miami reportedly includes Rasul Douglas, Asante Samuel Jr., and James Bradberry.

But the Dolphins replaced the loss of Jevón Holland with discount free agents at safety and the team is, at least for now, hoping that young players like Duck, Smith, and Patrick McMorris will make marked improvements.
