The Miami Dolphins<\/a> have lost some key offensive line depth this offseason, as Larry Borom and Cole Stange have signed with new teams, while James Daniels, Kendall Lamm, Liam Eichenberg, Germain Ifedi, Daniel Brunskill, Yodny Causte and Obinna Eze are still on the market.<\/p>\n

This has left Miami thin at offensive tackle, as Charlie Heck and Carter Warren are the only backups for Patrick Paul and Austin Jackson at this point in the offseason.<\/p>\n

With a host of picks in the 2026 NFL draft, the Dolphins<\/a> should consider adding at least one offensive tackle, and one of the prospects that Miami has shown some interest in is Travis Burke, who is taking a top-30 visit with the team pre-draft.<\/a><\/p>\n

Burke was a three-star recruit at South Broward High School in Hollywood, Florida, before committing to Gardner-Webb in 2020. He transferred to FIU in 2022 and transferred to Memphis in 2025.<\/p>\n

In his five years between the three schools, Burke mostly played left and right tackle, but he did see a few snaps at both guard spots as well.<\/p>\n

This past year, Pro Football Focus graded<\/a> the 6-foot-9 prospect as the 11th-best offensive tackle of 632 qualified tackles in college football with an 84.5 overall grade. He was also the ninth-best run-blocking tackle with an 84.2 grade.<\/p>\n

Burke is projected to be a Day-3 pick in the 2026 NFL draft, so Miami could address other, more important needs before grabbing the prospect later on.<\/p>\n
