The Miami Dolphins have come a long way in the last few seasons, with general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel working together to construct one of the league’s best rosters.

By the looks of it, the rest of the league is finally taking notice.

ESPN’s Mike Clay and Seth Walder released their rankings of all 32 NFL rosters, and the Dolphins managed to snag the #4 spot on their list.

In full, the list is as follows:

1. Kansas City Chiefs
2. Philadelphia Eagles
3. Buffalo Bills
4. Miami Dolphins
5. Cincinnati Bengals
6. Dallas Cowboys
7. Los Angeles Chargers
8. San Francisco 49ers
9. Cleveland Browns
10. New York Jets
11. Baltimore Ravens
12. Seattle Seahawks
13. Denver Broncos
14. Pittsburgh Steelers
15. Jacksonville Jaguars
16. Minnesota Vikings
17. Detroit Lions
18. New York Giants
19. New Orleans Saints
20. New England Patriots
21. Las Vegas Raiders
22. Chicago Bears
23. Green Bay Packers
24. Washington Commanders
25. Carolina Panthers
26. Atlanta Falcons
27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
28. Tennessee Titans
29. Houston Texans
30. Indianapolis Colts
31. Los Angeles Rams
32. Arizona Cardinals

In terms of Miami’s strongest unit, Clay mentioned the Dolphins’ cornerbacks, with Jalen Ramsey, Xavien Howard, Kader Kohou, and Nik Needham making up an impressive group.

As for Miami’s weakest unit, Walder pointed to the Dolphins’ tight-end group as particularly weak, as Durham Smythe, Eric Saubert, and Tyler Kroft managed just 227 catches in 250 combined games last year.

Finally, Miami’s “X-Factor” for next season is the team’s offensive line, as the Dolphins’ offensive line ranked 24th in the league in pass-block win-rate last year. Improve that, manage to stay healthy, and the Dolphins are sitting pretty next season.
