I said A for the combination of values on contracts and addressing of needs relative to the talent available in FA and the upcoming Draft.
Smith, Brewer, Barrett, Brooks, Fuller, and Poyer are going to see a lot of snaps, and they're all good, smart players.
I also like how Miami has attacked DT and OL with volume, value signings, and I like the bets they made, because they got guys who fit what Miami is trying to do, particularly at OL.
They got a lot more done than I was anticipating, and I like Wilkins and Hunt, but I don't think those are crippling losses. I think it was much wiser to spread those resources around and create some more balance along both units.
I changed my vote from B to A
J knows these guys way better than I do
Here are some grades from post a couple days ago.Give a grade to the Dolphins pickups thus far.

Added a tweet from CK that highlights the OL approach.
Dude chubb and Phillips are on track to be available week 1. What 30+ year old did we sign? We are not forced to do anything as we have one of the best rosters in the league. Are you actually following this team?The Dolphins tend to “win” the off season - it’s December that they tend to suck…
Paying for a bunch of 30 plus year olds could be boom or bust…
The dolphins are approaching desperation mode…. The franchise needs a playoff win or things are gonna get really ugly…
The silver lining of Phillips and Chubb getting seriously injured is the Dolphins are FORCED to get another serious pass rusher or two….
This team is now a boom or bust… I want to be optimistic but it’s so tough!
