We will NOT fill every perceived hole this offseason

[freak_of_nature]

Sorry to break it to everyone.

Between:

- creating more holes by not signing our own FA's
- missing on key FA's
- rookies in the first 3 rounds that will disappoint
- drafting a 1 or 2 players in rounds 2 & 3 that are more for depth

A mock offseason not filling very hole isn't a bad mock offseason.

Just sayin'...

We seem to regularly create more holes than we fill each and every off-season. The regular gutting of this team paired with the history of sub-par drafting makes having a competitive roster of talent nearly impossible.

Add talent, build continuity, produce on the field, add more next off-season.

I've said it before, but this organization has been going after band-aid fixes since the 80's...Ireland finally broke down the roster and has created this off-season of abundance (cap space and picks). Its not enough to completely revamp the roster, but it a very nice start to build according to what Philbin wants. We can debate needs, deals, value and desires, but I'm sure this may be the most excited many of us have been for an off-season due to how much can be done.

Free Agency and draft can get here soon enough....I love speculating and debating on that speculation, but its going to be a lot more fun to discuss the actual moves.

I was thinking about starting a post but this seems a good place.

Would you consider it a wise investment to grab a guy in round 4 or later that had slipped due to injury? For example, John Boyett was once considered a darn good safety. Would you think it a wise risk if he could be had in the 7th round and be allowed to rehab for another year?

To me, if a guy was once considered a lock for 1st/2nd round.....fills a team need....and can be had in rounds where you wouldn't hope to get a starter....why not? Jackson Jeffcoat is another I'd risk a late pick on.

That's why you prioritize.

What was the biggest reason we were not successful offensively? Sub par offensive line play from, specifically RG and RT. We also lacked any kind of big play ability from our WRs as a group. Only Hartline and occasionally guys like Clay, Moore, Mathews were in any away electric.

What was our biggest problem defensively? Our pass rush had a tendency to disappear and our CBs couldn't step up when that happen.

Therefore, our priority should be:
1. RG / LG
2. RT / LT
3. WR
4. DE
5. CB

Out of all these position we need to fix CB is the most obvious one that we can go without addressing for another year. If we improve the pass rush, we are also helping out the DBs.

The Dolphins can get by without adding either a DE or a CB and also by not adding either a OT or a OG. Everything else is necessary.

Depends on what you consider a hole. I hate the current pay level for the cornerback position. I would be annoyed if we sign one in free agency even though thats a problem. I'd rather snag two in the second, third or fourth rounds.

The positions that I absolutely need to see addressed are OL, receiver, and tight end.
