The Miami Dolphins have attempted to get better in certain areas during the offseason, but much of it has centered on what they still need to do.

I like the idea of bringing in Malik Willis, as he's proven during his young career that he has a lot of tools and could be a decent player one day, something the Dolphins need, but that doesn't mean he'll find success if the rest of the roster isn't up to the standard it needs to be.

Sticking with the offensive side of the football, the Dolphins could use a lot of help in their wide receiver room. After moving on from Jaylen Waddle in a deal with the Denver Broncos, and also getting rid of Tyreek Hill, the Dolphins simply have one of the worst wide receiver rooms in the NFL, and that's putting it nicely.

A recent trade idea wouldn't fix all of that, but it would certainly bring Miami closer than it is now.

“Miami desperately needs weapons because they want their new quarterback to have a shot to be successful; however, they are also on a tight budget due to all the dead cap space they have taken on from moving on from stars to start this rebuild.

“What they do have is a ton of draft picks. It's unlikely they'll find a more talented receiver with more upside than Legette on Day 3 of the draft. This is a low-risk, high-upside move on a young player at the start of a rebuild,” Mark Morales-Smith of SI wrote.

Legette is a really tough player to evaluate in some sense. The hope for him coming out of college was that he'd be an elite player and a big target for the Panthers.

Unfortunately, that hasn't really been the case so far. Some Panthers fans have also grown frustrated with him, but he could just be a guy who needs a new chance elsewhere.
