OL and safety are big needs. To qualify, once we have a safety drafted, the other safeties would not be a priority. I would love to get a qb, a safety, a rb, 2ot, and a center in the first 3 rounds. I would not reach to do it though. Well I’d reach a little.
 
That #18 spot will be very interesting assuming Miami keeps that pick. I could see one of the top four tackles if one drops. McKinney is also a player to watch there. I think he'd be a perfect fit.

I would love to be able to get Swift or Taylor in the 3rd, but can't see either of them lasting that long. Hard to predict where the run on running backs will begin, but likely early second round.

If things fall right and you get QB, OT, S all in the first round, that would free you up to take a RB in the 2nd.

I think that would be a great scenario. Tua or Herbert at #5, Thomas at #18 and Winfield/McKinney at #26.

Would like to find a way to get Ruiz as well. I don't think he gets to #39.
 
Agree with a lot you have, specifically priority positions being QB, OT, WR, RB, Edge and SAF.
 
If Miami gets their QB without having to trade up then they will be in good position to target a OT and move up a few spots from 18 without giving up too much.

Whether Miami drafts their future QB this year or next it is imperative to have a good OL for him to play behind. Nothing sets a young QB back more than poor OL play.

The more I look at the many mock drafts simulations I am doing(too many)the more I expect this to be an offensive heavy Draft.

I think they will be looking for Safety(or two) and they surely would not pass up a truly talented DL or LB, or even CB if they fell to them, but I expect QB, multiple OL, a speed WR(I hope)and probably more than one RB.

The thing to keep in mind is that Miami has multiple 1's and 2's NEXT year so this particular Rome does not have to be built in a day. They do not have to fill every need in this Draft. That kind of checklist Drafting always burns you. Do not pass on talent for need.Maybe you get 1 good OT in this Draft and target another NEXT year.The same with safety or running back.

That being said the Fins still have enough needs that they should be able to match talent and need.

When looking at this draft we should be thinking about what the team is going to be in the 21-22 season not next year.
 
I've said this before... @18, my man crush is, and always will be, K'Lavon Chaisson. This is my KEY guy in this year's draft.

He is the younger, more athletic Kyle Van Noy and he totally fits what Flores wants to do. For you old guys... A.J. Duhe.

All the things that the previous regime thought Charles Harris would do... Chaisson.
 
I think a good player will surprisingly fall to 18. It may not be an OT. Maybe it’s Jeudy or Lamb. But, I hope we pick the best player. If the four tackles are gone, and someone good surprisingly falls like Jeudy, you gotta do the right thing and take him. Lots of picks after 18 and we do have five picks on days 1-2 next year, plus we will have more free agency cash next year.

I think (hope) we will be really happy with our roster by the time that day 3 of the 2021 starts.

You take the stud player at 18 then use you draft capital to move up to get the other guy you want, be it Jackson, Jones, Cleveland, etc.

There's just no way those 5 RB's are going to be there for the 70th pick. Maybe one would be there but don't be shock if all 5 are gone before that.

Agree completely. List the 17 best prospect. what are the odds all 17 will be gone in the 1st 17 picks? We know, every draft, there are a handful of prospects picked before many would expect. All teams rank differently and have different needs, thus, a 22nd best may be taken at #14, Happens every year. There WILL be some good talent available at #18. The downside is they may not be at a position Miami needs or may be a prospect Miami has rated at #22. But they'll be there.
 
One thing that bears watching is the Trent Williams thing. We know Cleveland has expressed in the past. If he can get traded to an OT needy team, be it Cleveland or another team, that may push one of the tackles down to 18.
 
I think you have to go BPA for now. We have way too many holes to fill and 14 picks may not be enough. I think if we stay at 5 we could get Tua or Herbert. If both are gone, we could trade down slightly and pick Love within the top 10. If we stay at 5 with no QB, then I'm going OT because the top 4 will be gone by pick 18.
If we go QB at 5 then pick 18 is a dilemma. Do you draft a 2nd tier OT due to need or top tier player at another position such as safety or receiver, like you mentioned. Or what about Edge Rusher like Chaisson or a LB like Murray?
At 26 - I could see them drafting OT Jones or Jackson here. Could also see Depit or Mckinney.
At 39 - I really hope Cushenberry is drafted here because he won't be available at 56. If they drafted Swift here, I wouldn't complain. We would be lucky to get Winfield here.
At 56 - You and I are higher on Kindley than a lot of other people. A WR like Reagor or a Safety like Duggar would be great here. A flyer I would not mind could be TE Cole Kmet of Notre Dame.
At 70 - Kindley, OT Matt Peart or big back from Boston College, whose name escapes me would be nice.

Agree with the first part not including QB, that position has it's own rules and sometimes you have to reach for one.

As for the second part yes the Fins have many holes to fill but who says they have to fill them all in this Draft?

This should be a 2 full off seasons rebuild and Miami has the extra picks next year to make noise in that Draft as well.

They should be trying to add as many good football players as possible, while addressing needs when the value lines up with the need.

There is no reason to expect the rebuild to be complete after this Draft. I have no interest in Miami being as good as the can possibly be NEXT year, I want them strong and competitive for many years to come.

I am much more concerned with how the roster looks in May 2021 than I am with the roster right after this Draft is over.

If they fail to address a need or two that is fine, they will have another FA period with Cap Space and a Draft with twp 1'2 and two 2's to add more talent.

Don't worry about checklisting your way through all the needs Miami has.That is the surest way to make mistakes.
