I don't quite remember the last time the team has these many needs going into the draft. Since losing leading rusher Lamar Miller (Houston Texans) to free agency, and pretty much losing out if the Denver Broncos;s CJ Anderson and host of other running back, the team needs a dynamic running back.

The Dolphins needed cornerback help before free agency began -- and that's still the case. They essentially swapped Maxwell, who struggled last season, for Brent Grimes, who made three straight Pro Bowls with Miami. That isn't considered an upgrade so corner is a big need.

The Miami Dolphins have mostly ignored one of their biggest holes this offseason. The team needed an upgrade at both guard positions and, so far, made one risky move to add competition.

Miami signed veteran offensive lineman Jermon Bushrod in free agency from the Chicago Bears. Bushrod played nine years as an offensive tackle and says he has zero experience at guard. Yet, the Dolphins view him as a viable option to compete.

Dolphins acquired Alonso to play middle linebacker but we all aware of his injuries so a back-up plan is essential. Now we have 4 major needs going into the 2016 NFL Draft-RB,CB,OG,MB. Phew! God help us!
 
This is a very bad, top heavy roster its going to take several years and exceptional drafting to fix it
 
We still have the draft, preseason cuts, and UDFAs.

Noway we go another year with 0 starting caliber guards on our roster.

But the good news is Williams is out of Buffalo and cant plant RT on a 3rd and long.
 
What needs? The starters are penciled in no less than last year. The team's problem has been depth, especially due to Hickey's and Irelands awful 13 and 14 drafts and acquisitions.
