The Miami Dolphins’ offensive line is slowly looking more and more like a viable group. The team added two starters in free agency between Ereck Flowers and Ted Karras, whittling down the Dolphins’ pressing needs up front to include likely two more starters still needed before the team can consider the rebuild “done”.

The team seems committed to trying to make a quality starter out of Jesse Davis, although that could potentially come at right guard or right tackle, which is where Davis spent most of his 2019 season.

If the team commits to playing him at one tackle spot, the team will still need another tackle — they’re likely to add that early in next month’s NFL Draft. But what about right guard? Who can step into that void for the Dolphins?

Dolphins’ Michael Deiter

Cost: Nothing

Deiter should be considered the de facto leader in the clubhouse — mainly because he was drafted with a top-100 pick by this regime and got a lot of run as the team’s starter at left guard in 2019. Deiter will need to clean up his technique and mental processing if he’s to claim the job; and it’s unlikely the Dolphins don’t introduce some level of competition this offseason regardless.

Michigan’s Cesar Ruiz

Cost: 18th/26th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft

Ruiz played center for the Wolverines, but he’s got the build and mobility to find success at guard as well. Ruiz could be a long-term answer at guard or, if things don’t go well with Ted Karras, Ruiz could kick inside to center in 2021. Ruiz should be considered a “plug and play” starter, even if the Dolphins move him to guard.

Ohio State’s Jonah Jackson

Cost: 39th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft

Jackson ideally is a candidate with the team’s second 2nd-round pick — but there’s some significant scarcity for starting interior blockers and Jackson faces a ton of hurdles between 39 and 56 that would make the Dolphins need to prioritize him sooner rather than later. He’s physical and fits the mold the Dolphins want up front with their presumed gap/power rushing attack.

Louisiana’s Robert Hunt

Cost: 70th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft

Hunt played tackle for Louisiana but projects more favorably at guard in the pros. He’s an absolute house — a mauler of a man that the Dolphins are sure to love if they’re committed to creating running lanes by moving opposing defenders against their will.

Dolphins’ Jesse Davis

Cost: Another tackle in the draft

Again, perhaps the answer here is really Jesse Davis. If that’s the case, the Dolphins would need to ensure they come away with two potential starting tackles in this year’s NFL Draft instead. Davis doesn’t seem to have ideal power, but if the team likes him as much as it is reported they do, odds are they’re going to find a place for him to start up front regardless.
