With four picks in the first two rounds, including the #3 overall and with free agency, can Miami fill all of its needs?

Here's where I see the biggest holes in the lineup.....

Wide Receiver --- need someone to complement Parker and Geisicki. Smith would seem like a perfect fit as a player who can get separation. Maybe add two receivers? Samuel as FA?
Running Back --- Harris or Williams in the draft would be great fits. Stevenson from Oklahoma is a bit of a sleeper. Avoid free agency?
Pass Rusher --- Doesn't seem like a great year in the draft for pass rushers. Who is the best FA fit?
Offensive line --- Maybe center, maybe guard. Humphreys in the draft?
MLB --- Another tough spot to fill. Ideas?
Safety/Slot --- Someone who could fill both needs would be very valuable to Miami.

Last point, I think that #3 pick will traded potentially giving the Dolphins more picks in 2021 and 2022.

Yes they can if they use free agency and the smart wisely. one thing tho......we need a WR that can be complemented by Parker, not the other way around. You can't count on any of our WR's so really we need a 1 and a 2 with Parker being #3......if he can actually stay healthy.
 
It is unusual for any draft to provide more than 3-4 solid starters when they have as many high picks as the Dolphins have in this years draft. In fact we can only hope the Dolphins hit on that many starters. If they do, the draft should provide them with upgrades at several positions. Yet I think they need at least two more defensive ends, upgrades at safety and an impact MLB.

On offense they need an upgrade at guard and center, RB, and at least 2 WR’s.

Hopefully they can find solid starters in the draft and free agency to fill most of these positions but I think it might take at least two more drafts to fill all their needs and that is assuming they hit on the players they draft and sign in free agency.

This is exactly what our needs are. That's 6 positions with probably 2 players needed at WR and Oline. That makes 8 players. With 4 guaranteed picks in the first 2 rounds, and the fact I believe we can pick up 2 impact players if FA. That addresses 6 of the 8 players needed. I also believe without a combine this year some players may fall to the 3rd round that will be at a position of need. That would make 7. So if we can trade back with #3, no reason we can't address every need. If we can't trade back to get that 8th pick, what position of need would you be willing to address in 2022 when we have our own picks available, and hopefully a nice bump in salary cap?

That's a great question.

You never want to reach in the draft. But teams are going to with pass rushers in this draft. Miami might as well, as that is big need on defense.

Maybe the Dolphins can find a pass rusher in free agency? Maybe they can gamble in the middle rounds? Can they wait a year if the offense is dramatically improved?

The talent is there at wide receiver and running back in the draft. Miami can't wait at either of those positions. I don't think they can wait at offense line.

Inside linebacker is the toughest spot to fill. Parsons is the only really quality guy in the draft.

I agree..... But I’ve even soured on Parsons a little lately. I actually see him sliding in the draft. I think he goes mid first round.

That seems to be the concensus of most reputable mock draft experts.

I do think, because of scheme fit, he may have more value to Miami, than most other teams.
