According to an app on my phone, "theScore". The Dolphins obviously won't sign everyone mentioned but it's an interesting take nonetheless.

Offense

20. LaGarrette Blount (RB) - Ideal fit is New England but Miami is listed as a potential suitor.

19. Michael Oher (OT) - Ideal fit is Oakland but Miami is listed as a potential suitor.

16. Rashad Jennings (RB) - Ideal fit is Oakland but Miami is listed as a potential suitor.

15. Knowshon Moreno (RB) - Ideal fit is Miami. "The Dolphins need to figure out a way to keep Ryan Tannehill upright, and Moreno's pass blocking prowess is what allowed him to edge out rookie Montee Ball for starter's carries in Denver. A one-two punch featuring Moreno and Lamar Miller won't strike fear into the hearts of opponents, but it's good enough to free up the Dolphins to use their draft picks on areas of greater need."

13. Anthony Collins (OT) - Ideal fit is Cincy but Miami is listed as a potential suitor.

12. Rodger Saffold (OT) - Ideal fit is Miami. "The Dolphins need to upgrde at least three of the five positions on their offensive line. Saffold surely can earn a starting job at one of those spots. The Dolphins' desperation makes it easy to overlook Saffold's injury concerns".

11. Darren McFadden (RB)- Ideal fit is Cincy but Miami is listed as a potential suitor.

8. Ben Tate (RB) - Ideal fit is Cleveland but Miami is listed as a potential suitor.

4. Branden Albert (OT) - Ideal fit is Miami. "Ryan Tannehill will fail to reach his potential if the Dolphins fail to upgrade his protection in a big, big way. Albert alone won't solve the Dolphins offensive line woes, but he'll help fans of the team forget the names Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognto."

2. Jared Veldheer (OT) - Ideal fit is Oakland but Miami is listed as a potential suitor.

1. Eugene Monroe (OT) - Ideal fit is Baltimore but Miami is a listed as a potential suitor.

Defense

The only mention aside from Randy Starks not re-signing in Miami is:

2. Jairus Byrd (S) - Ideal fit is Miami. "Bills fans will be angrier than an old man trying to send soup back in a deli is Byrd ends up with division rival Miami. However, if Chris Clemons leaves the Dolphins via free agency, Byrd could easily step in. With the re-signing of Brent Grimes at corner, adding Byrd would give the Dolphin a very potent secondary."
 
I wouldn't be mad if we signed all those ideal fits, especially Byrd.
 
SO READY FOR TUESDAY @ 4:00! Looking forward to see what direction we go in, I want an OT to start it off then we can build from there.
 
Ill puke if we give big money to Moreno or McFadden.
 
Rumors should start leaking out today at noon. Just can sign until Tuesday
 
Obviously Monroe at this point is the crown jewel.

I think Moreno would be nice at the right price. I don't see him as the biggest run threat but he is very good all around.

McFadden is interesting, honestly, for the right price I would be happy with him. I have no problem assuming Oakland was such a dismal experience for him that it just effected everything about him. He also has "going to the Patriots and becoming elite" wrote all over him.

Byrd would be an under the radar coup, if the Dolphins got Monroe and Byrd I would like to see how the haters explain that away.
 
Dream scenario would be:
Monroe or Veldheer at LT
Saffold and/or Beadles at OG
Byrd at S
Moreno or McFadden at RB

Probably not realistic, but definitely would be nice.
 
Byrd's impact on our D would be incredible. Adding him and a smart LB addition would really elevate our D to where we want it to be.

Tate is most intriguing to me, but big money on a RB is wasteful. Impact RBs are plentiful enough now that we can get a substantial upgrade without breaking any banks.

They'd still need a DT or 2
