Most of the NFL mock drafts have Miami taking a WR, a RB, and two defensive players in the first two rounds of the 2021 NFL draft. And with the latest rumors hinting at a salary cap closer to flat than a $20 million drop, we will be able to add at least one player (and possibly two) from the top shelf of free agency.

Among our position needs, which would you prefer to address through free agency instead of the draft? If you have a free agent signing, list him and why you think that player is a better fit for our roster than a draft prospect.
 
The answer is inside linebacker. We need a tackling machine in the middle of the defense that can make tackles from sideline to sideline. There aren’t many of those in the draft this year.
 
He would work. Who else?
Best to see for yourself.
Opinions vary. Actual milage may differ.

 
Those guys are edge. We need a mike. Parsons is great, but not a good year for mike linebackers.

What free agent inside linebackers are there that fit here?
 
Those guys exist. I could list a bunch, guys like Ray Lewis, Zach Thomas, Nick Buonticotti, John Offerdahl, Roquan Smith, Luke Kuechly, Jack Lambert, etc. That is our biggest need on defense. Miss on Parsons and you may not find one. If you can get a guy in free agency then it’s easy to get WR, RB, C, edge all in the draft. There are a lot more of those in the draft.
