I think on defense, the team has some really good and exciting youth development going on especially from last year’s draft . Players like Walt Aikens and DE Terrence Fede, Jordan Tripp, Anthony Johnson and Chris McCain are expected to step up and contribute. Coupled with Jenkins, the youthful defense is going to be great for years to come.


The offense, on the other hand needs Closure of some sort. Year after year the team is always missing something somewhere. Last year, it was big red zone target and terrible OLine. Year before, no running game and also offensive line. Year before that, no receivers. And so forth. The team just can’t seem to put together a good offense draft. This year should be different, we’ve had great defensive offseason and we must end it with a great offensive draft to bring a superb offseason to a close.

Next question: How do you build the offense? For starters, a better and stronger Oline that will help keep Tannehill upright will be good. Need­- a guard. The run game needs to be more effective especially in short yardage situation. Need – a big back. Finally, it is imperative that the receiving corps must include a red zone target.

Currently, Miami has six draft choices, if no trades Miami should use their first round pick, number 14 overall, on talented wideout. Any of the top 5 would do, preferably Devante Parker. He will be an icing on the cake for this team right now with those other three WRs doing underneath stuffs. In the second round, Miami should invest in OG or a tackle that could also play guard. AJ Cann or Tre Jackson would be great. To complete the offense, in the fourth-round, Miami must find a big bruising back in the likes like a Jeremy Langford or David Johnson.

Any draft that does not address these apparent needs on offense will be a total failure and would live the season imperiled. God help us.
 
I'd keep adding to the defense *shrugs*

Our blue-chip players on defense, Wake and Grimes, are 30+ and are not guaranteed on the roster in 2016. We need to find a difference making LB or CB in this draft. I would trade down if Gurley, Parker, etc. are gone and target Eric Kendricks then go from there.

If they're gone, yes!

Our blue chip player on defense is 28. SUH
 
these guys on defense still need to prove themselves though... this is the year for many to do so, even on offense too. cant just go with hope, and expecting to though.

funny thing after couple comments above is that it shows that we still have many holes to fill defensively and offensively, especially depth too. we hopefully can fill some needs, but in this draft (especially without a 3rd round pick) we are going to miss out on a position no matter what.
 
Yep

WR
G
RB
TE
OL depth

And then let the chips fall where they may after that
 
We can't cover every need with the picks we have. Take top talent when possible. Playmakers first then get the rest next year.

Ozzy rules!!
 
that or we could try and fix our utterly broken d?
 
keep on building that defense!! honestly I would take Shelton imo.
 
Keep building a monster O-Line so we can impose our will on other teams, keep the ball longer, keep our QB upright with more time to go through reads, and improve red zone offense
 
Every year our offensive line sucks when the games really count. We can never run the ball when we need to run the ball, either to kill clock or get 1-3 yards on a key 3rd down. We ALWAYS fail there.

Pretty F'n Clear what we need to 'FINISH' the offense.
 
It's pretty obvious that the Offense needs more work then the defense, and in this draft Miami will need to come out of this draft with a quality big Receiver that can be counted in the RZ, and quality Guard that can fit in our zone blocking, and a powerback that can be counted in 3rd and short situations, and become a good option once inside the opponent 5 yard line.

Miami does need some pieces on defense, a M-LB, CB, as well as another DT, S, and Pass-rusher, but the defense's problems are more with how they are being used and coached, then talent, as proven with how good they were early and in some game later in the season. The coaching needs to put the defense in better position to do their job.
