Hello,

First, I must tell that I am very happy and very impressed with our FO in this FA class.
They waited that price lower and sign many solid guys on 1 year prove it deal.....for me it's a masterful plan.

Now, I really would like we sign a RB (Carson, Fournette or at least Duke Johnson), an OT with experience on cheap deal (Eric Fisher or Mitchell Schwartz), and a LB and after that we would have a completely open draft board without be in position to pick for needs

We could draft player we like ( In exemple Pitts at 3) or Humphrey at 18, we could trade back and collect pick for next year because that seems to be a blueprint for this regime to built in the draft and I am 100% agree with this thinking.

I think you can just keep Jessie Davis and between Jackson, Hunt, Wilson, Davis and either Pankey or a project tackle in the late rounds or as an udfa and be ok at that spot. I'm guessing the oline will be Skura and a rookie at center with Kindley, Flowers, Jackson, Hunt, Wilson, Davis and eith Deiter, Pankey or a rookie project rounding out the unit.
 
I don’t think any of the remaining FA RBs really move the needle. None of them are that much more exciting than Brown other than maybe Fournette who I don’t really want for the price. We have great depth there now with Brown, Ahmed and Gaskin, we’re just missing a blue chipper. Still think we badly need to be taking one in the first two rounds.

I think inside LB is fairly set, we do still definitely need pass rushing specialists though. Not a lot left out there in FA, maybe Melvin Ingram but certainly wouldn’t overpay. Think we need a blue chipper here in the first two rounds as well.

Unless we go Sewell, I don’t see any reason to take another OT. No one outside of him has that much more potential than Jackson and Hunt.

A three down ILB is still a priority imo.

My opinion is we're done with free agency and are on to the draft now. We might bring in a guy or two after the June cuts but right now the money is gone.

Ingram IMO is going to want Dupree type $$. I believe Justin Houston is still out there. He'd be my preference w/ a reasonable 2 yr deal

I don't think the phins will draft Sewell. If Eichenberg (Notre Dame) is still there at 81; I would think about selecting him

Yah if Ingram wants anywhere close to that I’m definitely not interested, but I doubt his market will be that high. He’s fallen off the last couple years. Houston would be interesting for cheap but he might be close to done too.
 
If Fuller can stay healthy, that's a tremendous addition for Miami. A bona-fide deep threat that teams have to account for, Fuller will help the running game as well.

Brown complements Gaskin and Ahmed with his physical, get those tough yards, style. Carson, if added, probably signifies that Miami won't draft a running back early.

I do hope the team is still focused on drafting a wide receiver early.
 
I agree. Everything points to Sewell, and I am resigning myself to that, and I am okay, I will not scream. It's okay.
