I am torn on what Mia needs to address this offseason. I always thought once you have linemen, and can effectively pass and run block, that you can score. However, after seeing what we have on the field now with skilled players, And knowing the fact that our offensive linemen will be better next year, I am convinced we need an overhaul on talent at running back and wide receiver. There is a need for a linemen or two so the dilemma is who do we draft, sign in FA, and continue to develop.
 
The team absolutely has to get Tua some weapons at receiver. If they dont do that in the offseason then they will have failed. At the same time however this team is probably going nowhere without fixing the OL and ground game.
 
I think like you said, the OL should be better next year with some experience under their belts. Would really like to see Kindley drop some weight so he can move around better

I’m not opposed to adding more talent there, but we need receivers and a running back more IMO

4 first and second rd picks! Hou is like 7th right now but there are a loss away from being #4
 
WR then HB are our biggest needs. The OL needs work. I’d move Hunt to RG and draft a RT (keep Kindley at his college position LG). That being said, some of the pressure is the result of missed reads/calls before the play. That is something you expect with a rookie QB and something that will improve as Tua learns.
 
All three of our rookie OL guys have played and showed promise. We should see what a year with a real training camp, along with strength and conditioning can do for them. Jackson looks the part at LT. At worst Kindley and Hunt should hold down LG and RG. Hunt might do at RT but if I draft OL early, I'd go RT, bump Hunt inside, and resign Karras.

If they want to get an OC, between Humphrey, Myers, Dickerson, and Empey we should be able to find someone with potential later on in the draft. Dieter could come into play eventually.

Personally I'd put LB'er at a higher need than OL.

Me, I'd like to see something like Chase/Smith, Waddle/Moore, Etienne/Harris......and then maybe Leatherwood/Collins/Moses/Surratt/Freiemuth. In other words, a great #1 WR, a fast and elusive slot WR, a very good RB.....and then a good LB or RT, maybe even a stud TE.

I can get by with what we have at pass rush for now.
 
WR and RB. No reliable top tier talent at either position. The OL will get better. Let's start a season with some continuity on the line for the first time in over a decade. Draft depth in the middle to later rounds. The only way they should take a lineman early is of some generational talent falls in their laps, especially a center since that wouldn't need to be the earlier pick. I would LOVE for the Dolphins to develop a dominant OL.
 
I think the OL has some potential, and will develop and get better. I still would like to see us make a run for Joe Thuney again. I think having a veteran player like that who can play every position on the line will help those young guys develop
 
Miami does not have a single reliable receiver nor a running back. And they want to compete for SB.
