IMO we need to found 2 solid CB, 1 to start opposite of Xavier and a second in addition to Needham (not really sure about him for the future) in injury case.

When I look at FA and the draft.........IMO it's obvious we can found them in the draft Pool.

Look at this listing (I looked at their stats and many are approximatively the same) :

Trevon diggs, Jeff gladness, Cameron Dantzler, Bryce Hall, Damon Arnette, Kindle Vildor and why not Trajan Bandy.

We really could pick 2 of them with our 2b round and our third round pick.

Opinions on them, who is the best choice for our defensive backfield scheme ?
 
FA CB's are EXPENSIVE but if we could get Logan Ryan at a decent price, I would do it.

The draft has a sweet spot from 18-56 for CB this year which is great for us. Considering the best tackles may be gone as well as s shortage of edge rushers, CB may be the best option in 1 or top of 2. Best value at a premium position.
 
I'd expect at least one F/A CB, but who that is, remains to be seen. In the draft, it looks like Miami may be in the position to snag a quality starting type CB at either #18 or #26? It could be, they select one on the first 2 days and then again another, on day 3?
 
I believe we will see CB in both FA and draft. I think Flo will bring in a couple mid tier guys in reasonable contracts. No big names. He can coach cbs. What he did with needham makes me believe we don't need to spend big in that area.
 
Maybe both a free agent and a draft pick. I think Miami will be smart in free agency, but if the team splurges it will be for a prime position like a pass rusher or corner.

Logan Ryan.

Trumaine Johnson just got cut by the Jets, he'd be a solid #2 corner.

Ryan yes.....Johnson no.....the jets are taking a 12mill dead money hit to let him go. That should tell you something. I'd draft one in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Actually I think if we spend big it'll be on the OL when it comes to free agency. We really need help there....well we need help everywhere. I agree we'll get at least one corner in free agency.

Value combined with Miami's draft position is shaping up like this....

5 QB
18 CB
26 OT
39 Edge
56 and beyond IOL/FS/RB/DT

A lot will depend on how things shake up at the top of the draft and free agency will play a part on how the top of the draft goes.

That is VERY true. Especially with where all the FA QB's fall....but just going by what I perceive as the BPA/big board combined with value, I thing the top 17 are not hard to project. Also a very deep class at WR & CB. WR having a good top end as well as good depth.

I also think teams in the top half will approach FA knowing where this class is at the top as well as depth.

Top 16-20

3 QB
4-5 OT's
1-2 LB
2 Edge
3-4 WR
3-4 CB

sounds about right. Could be 4 QB's because teams reach for those. At least one DT (Brown) will go top 16, most likely higher with another one possibly going top 16.
 
Logan Ryan, 4 yrs, $50 million with an easy out at 3yrs $35 million, $0 dead cap.

He's worth it, 29, we need him. What if X gets suspended or injured? If X plays our CBs would be awesome, X, Ryan, NN, Wiltz, Lewis and Lammons. Every single one had at least one pick last year.

Jones is a must cut for me. I would like to move on from McCain but we might just keep him. Rowe, Parker, Hartage and Colbert, we might not even need to draft a DB at all.

Definitely the offensive line as well, but I could see them going for the solid starters rather than the pricey ones there.

Of course it depends on the depth of offensive linemen in free agency.
 
Keep in mind Logan is a slot CB. IMHO would be better off getting a safety and moving McCain back to slot (dollar wise).
