IYO does our bigger position of need (IMO OL,DE and CB) must be upgraded on FA or Draft ?
I don't think they are very deep on FA and I don't see many collège football here in France.

Gonna need it all in FA. That allows you to draft best available. Then, if your draft pick surpasses your signing in camp you are ahead of schedule
 
Don’t waste the draft on need. Attack positions of strength for the next two years. It doesn’t matter if we have a massive hole at one position and are strong in another. Get better talent.
The draft is pretty poor for DE so I would consider just letting it be unless there is value. Over drafting a position player doesn’t really add talent it just fills a roster spot.
 
Even though the draft is strong on the offensive line, I'd spend there in free agency. I don't really like the idea of taking at OT at #5 and I think the top four will be gone before Miami picks at #18. Miami could trade up, but I like the idea of signing two starting caliber offensive lineman in free agency. Conklin and Thuney would be nice.

That would free up the draft to get either a quarterback at #5 (most likely), or one of the top defensive players --- Simmons, Brown, Okudah. I'd still draft some offensive lineman along the way.
 
I like building from inside out. For offensive line I would use the draft for OT as that would save us future cap costs and OTs are very good in the draft. I would also look for a starting center in the draft as I think there are some very good ones there.
For Free Agency I would definitely sign a starting OG as there are very good ones there. Maybe a Center or Tackle only if it is a reasonable cost (not overpaying).
I think edge rusher should be gotten in this draft. There are good edge rushers in this draft in second and third rounds.
For CB I would go Free agency as there are very good ones we can sign. If yes then wait for third day to draft another CB to develop.
I would use the draft for a safety to replace Rashad Jones.
 
The early Draft should be where you concentrate on the hard to find positions that cost the most $$$ and have the biggest affect on the outcome.

FA should be for patching obvious holes and the occasional big splash player.

They should find two starting interior OL guys in FA and then try to find OT in the next 2 Drafts.
