Comprehensive offseason plan — The Dolphins roster will look drastically different

Good plan. Bowden will go before round 3, long before where you projected. i would also draft a rb in that range, but much prefer Edwards Helaire, and Akers. I would target Perine late as well. I would also be looking at IOL more closely rd 3-4. Guys like Hennessy, Ruiz, bredenson, Lemieux and my favorite Logan Sternberg
Also am not a big fan of Proche would prefer Duvernay/Mims/Bryan Edwards and my favorite Bowden who i would take in rd 2 and play slot and return all kicks.

Bowden had some flags pop up at his bowl game with the pregame fight he started. Not saying it will devastate his stock but it will be taken into account for sure.
 
I'll likely make changes to this list when we get closer to free agency and cuts/franchise tags are announced.

Cuts

Reshad Jones - 7.5 savings, 8 dead
Albert wilson - 9.5 savings, 1.3 dead

The Jones cut is pretty self explanatory. I think the Albert Wilson contract is too rich for what he offers. He'd be worth about half that on the open market.

Extensions/tenders

Isaiah Ford - 660k
Zack Sieler - 660k
Trent Harris - 585k
Vince Biegel - 2nd round tender, 3.3M
Matt Haack - original round tender, 2.1M

Biegel, Ford and Sieler showed more than enough to be brought back. Harris has potential and Haack, while not the greatest punter, has shown enough to stick around too.

Re-sign

John Jenkins - 1 year, 4M, 2.5M GTD
Walt Aikens - 2 years, 5M, 3M GTD, 2M first year cap hit

Aikens brings veteran leadership to the special teams unit and can play in a pinch. John Jenkins played much better than expected and earned himself a spot in the rotation.

Cap room: 96.8M

Targets in free agency

I picked these players on who I would potentially target in free agency and used the aid of Pro Football Focus' free agency tool. The OTC contract indicates the projected contract by the website overthecap.com. For the players who didn't receive an OTC projection, I offered my own projection. It's purely guess work on my part.

Players will be cut and others will be franchise tagged, so this list could look quite a bit different at this time next month.

Draft needs remaining (in no order): QB, LT, RT, RB, EDGE, S, CB

I used the mock draft machine on The Draft Network for these selections. There's no guarantee that players will or won't be available at these slots, but I tried my best to be realistic.

Pick 5: Tua Tagovailoa, QB - Offers the most upside of any QB not named Joe Burrow, but health is by far his biggest concern.

Pick 18: Josh Jones, LT - Offers everything you want in a left tackle. Will need some refinement in terms of technique but he offers a high-upside player that can anchor the LT position for many years.

Pick 26: Xavier McKinney, S - My favorite safety in the class. He's an explosive athlete. He's lined up almost everywhere on the field. He's a multi-faceted player who can cover, blitz and tackle.

Pick 39: Zack Moss, RB - The running back that few people are talking about, but after JK Dobbins, offers the most upside IMO.

Pick 56: Bradlee Anae, EDGE - Had a great showing at the senior bowl and may not even last until this selection now. Offers skills as both a rusher and as a linebacker.

Pick 70: Darnay Holmes, CB - Another player who played pretty well at the senior bowl. Not a sure-fire day 1 starter but enough upside and talent to get on the field as a rookie.

Pick 142: James Proche, WR - A do-it-all receiver that won't wow you with athleticism but can be reliable.

Pick 153: Yasir Durant, iOL

Pick 162: Lamar Jackson, CB

Pick 165: AJ Dillon, RB

Pick 185: Harrison Bryant, TE

Pick 197: Lynn Bowden, WR/RB/Electricity

Pick 245: Tipa Galea’i, EDGE

Pick 250: Tanner Muse, S

Impressive work
Sub Herbert for Tua tho
 
Great post. I’m a big fan of your free agency signings. Thuney is my number one want. Not a huge fan of your draft but it’s very realistic.
 
I hate the thought of spending big money for any RB...have not seen one that was special in a long time.

Great job! Tons of work put into this. My only sort of point I would make is that Jesse Davis is really a guard and only played some tackle last year because the line was a hot mess. I would imagine therefore we would need another starting tackle in your scenario as Jesse Davis would likely kick inside to compete at starting right guard.

But otherwise, nice work!

Great work. Total crapshoot but you put a lot of effort into it and I think we'd have a great team. I guess we didn't get an FA RB?
 
just looking at the numbers that robby anderson would make got me sick. I wouldnt pay him half that.
 
Great stuff man, I really enjoyed reading that and I appreciate your efforts! You think Melvin Gordon takes less now on the open market? I think he was wanting something like 10 million a year or more during his holdout last year. You think he softens up?
 
Very nice. I can't imagine doing an exercise like that.
Like the draft a lot- only nitpick is what a previous poster said about Zach Moss...are the other RB's gone already? Then I might take someone else in his spot and go Cam Akers or Dillon with the second number 2 or the 3rd round.
I would also keep Albert Wilson, and bypass a FA WR. He was starting to round into shape; could maybe want to restructure his contract. I don't see weakening a position of strength (WR) when we have SO much else to focus on.
But very interesting. I like Trae Waynes A LOT
 
Solid plan.
