8. Justin Smiley, Offensive Guard, Miami Dolphins
New head coach Tony Sparano’s forte is the offensive line. In an attempt to rejuvenate an offense, Sparano is making every effort to have his blockers intact. This signing couple with the drafting of Jake Long proves this. Now, with Long as the bookend on the left side and Smiley as the left guard, the Dolphins left side of the line is potent. Ronnie Brown, an already formidable NFL running back, should have a ton of holes to hit towards the left side of the line, and the quarterback — whoever that may be — won’t need to worry about his blindside. We always hear the offensive line is the most important component of an offense; the Dolphins are putting that theory to the test.
