RB : Gore and 2 young guns (Dobbins and another would be my choice)
OT : Conklin (I paid what he want he's my favorite signing for this year), Castonzo and 2 draftee
OG : Thuney, Scherff and 1 draftee
C : Biadaz and a veteran (perhaps Karras) if we choose to not keep Kilgore
DE : I would not go for NGakoue here but 2 Solid experienced guy like Ansah, Griffen, Pierre Paul and 2 draftee for the futur
DT : If we don't keep Jenkins why not resign Suh for a good price if he want to return........his experience could be good for Wilkins and our young draftee DE
LB : Shaquill Barrett or Van Noy or Judon
CB : Bradberry, Roby or Apple

That's a nice list. The thing with NFL free agency is who actually gets there. A lot of the pass rushers are essentially being locked up with the franchise tag.

If Miami could get Conklin and Thuney, that would be a huge step toward building the offensive line.

I love the idea of bringing Gore back to Miami, in what would probably be his final season.

Does Gore really have much more to give VS. a younger RB we could get? I like and know Frank but if it doesn't help us, I don't do it. He'd love it though. he'd take a hometown deal to be here.
 
Just take these players off your list because they will be tagged or re-signed....

Scherff, Justin Simmons, Judon, Ngakoue, Chris Jones, Anthony Harris, Bud Dupree...

And there might be more.
 
If we draft a Rb like Dobbins, you can bet Gore will be on our FA list to groom him.

As for Conklin? An RT making that much?
 
I'd like to have some offensive guards. Problem is there isn't much out there. Scherff is going to get paid but he is hurt too much. To me that leaves only Thuney, Glasgow, and Blythe. Not sure the team willing to pay for Thuney. Blythe shouldn't cost a lot so I'd call him the smart value pick.

Castonzo and Conklin are the best tackles out there but Castonzo might retire and Conklin is going to be overpaid and isn't that good at pass blocking. Amoung LOT's Whitworth might be affordable and Peters is still playing at a good level. Bulaga and Williams are probably the best remaining ROT's. I'd try for Whitworth or Peters if fairly cheap in case our draft pick needs a year or two to develop.

I don't see any LB'ers, TE's, or edge guys I would consider worth the price. If I felt I had to get one I'd see what Armstead wanted.

I like Ryan as a slot CB, otherwise Waynes might do as a #2 CB.

At safety I see good value out there. McCourty doesn't make many mistakes. Boston is a good FS (only). Joseph looks like the best value so I'll take him.

To me far and away the best value/depth is at DT/NT. Reader and Hargrave are darn good players. At hopefully lower price you have some solid rotational guys like Pierce, Harris, and Reed. I'd look there. We could make use of a 2 down run stuffing NT and those guys even offer a bit more than just that.

Thuney, Melvin Gordon
 
Mid tier FAs on the line. Invest at least 3 picks on it, and look for cuts after the PS.

This isn't the year to start dumping massive amounts on FA contracts.
