Not saying they should or shouldn't use this approach, but if Miami were to focus most of their 2020 draft and free agency attention on either the offense or defense which one is the closest to being a top caliber unit? Could either unit go from poor to pretty good in one season with the right use of the current cap space and draft picks? I don't know about top 10, but the offense could be really fun to watch next season if you added the right pieces at the skilled positions and overhauled the o-line.
 
With as many picks as we control and all that money under the cap, we will work on both sides of the ball.
That said, our defense really doesn't need much other than a couple of serious pass rushers. Add that and our defense will be much improved.

Can't see them not looking both sides of the ball
O - QB, OL, RB
D - pass rush and secondary
as the primary choices.
Then depth any where in the later rounds.

When I started this post it wasn't to debate if the team should or shouldn't take this approach, just asking if they did which unit is the closest to being a top 10 unit in one season using all the draft picks and free agency $$$ Miami has?
 
I think it could go either way.

We have some solid players on both sides of the ball. Our pass rush was so awful though... it single handedly wrecked us. Add 15 sacks and our secondary looks pretty good.

The Offense needs at least 3 new linemen, 2 RBs and another QB... so yeah, it might take a lot of picks.

I just think the defense is closer.
 
I love defense. Spend the majority of of resources on defense and oline. Not saying in which particular order. But trenches on both sides, with a running back or so and perhaps a TE.

I get where you are coming from but Flo's way of thinking is what is best for the whole team that's why in reality it won't happen.
But to answer your question - defence as with 2/3 pass rushes and more secondary help with the early draft picks/FA would transform this unit a lot quicker.
Offence - developing cohesion within the OL with 3/4 new starters will take time while grooming a young QB will take longer.

To state the obvious, let's wait til Miami has signed some FAs. That will likely change the emphasis. I expect at least 2 OLmen and a RB. If I'm right, most picks will go D.
 
The first 6 picks (1a 1b 1c, ,2a 2b,and 3). I think it should be QB (1), OL (3), Edge (1), and maybe a stud RB (1) or stud CB (1).

This is not a tough question to answer. OL DL OL DL OL...... build the lines on both sides of the ball this draft

I think the offense is closer anyway. Our skill players are pretty good, we need lineman, of course an RB (probably more than 1) and a QB to lead it for years to come. Defensively we need a lot more starting right off the bat with real 3-4 pass rushers.
