The first wave of free agency has come and gone and most of the big ticket players have found new homes. Le’Veon Bell joined the New York Jets, Nick Foles flew south to play for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Earl Thomas swapped coastlines to team up with the Baltimore Ravens. With the Miami Dolphins sitting out and saving cap space for the team’s rebuilding project, who’s left to help fill Miami’s vast set of needs?

Thus far, the Dolphins have signed Dwayne Allen and Clive Walford to bolster a tight end group that is now the deepest position on the team. General manager Chris Grier also added former New England Patriots cornerback Eric Rowe to provide depth and competition at cornerback, while also bringing on journeyman quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick as a stopgap option before a new face of the franchise is drafted. Most recently, Miami acquired former Jaguars guard Chris Reed to add to an interior o-line rotation in desperate need of help.

They should bring in as many DL and OL as possible. Darius Philon and Quinton Spain to name one of each.
 
Whatever remaining free agents we sign will have had to been cut from their previous teams. We don't want to mess around with the comp picks we're going to get for James & Wake.
 
With our cap room, some "feeler" 1 or 2 year deals to gauge a player should be attractive to us. Find a few players we can snag and make something out of for cheap. We don't need any big ticket starters or superstars for atleast the next season.
 
Bringing other teams garbage leaves you with a pile of trash.
 
Worth noting that Miami may be narrowing its focus to players who were cut - for the sake of comp picks.

McDowell and Marsh were both cut by their teams I believe

Malik McDowell (assuming that's who you're referring to) is very talented, but due to his character, I had him as undraftable. For Seattle to cut him, he's either still too hurt to play, or his character is as bad as advertised - maybe a combination of the two. Curious to see how his career plays out, but he was labeled a locker-room cancer at MSU.
