I have seen offseason 'wishlists', wanting Manning, Wayne, Nicks, Mario Williams, Laron Landry.......etc etc

I would love to see a realistic list of underrated Free Agents and reasons why you would want them in Miami.

My list would include:-

Anthony Collins OT. He is the backup to, IMO the most underrated pair of tackles in the NFL, Whitworth and Andre Smith (PFF had Andre Smith as the most improved player from 2010). In 2011 according to PFF, Collins played a total of 89 pass blocking snaps and allowed no sacks, no QB hits and just one pressure. In 2010 he played a total of 151 passing snaps, no sacks, no QB hits and 3 pressures. He is only 26 and IMO would slide right in at RT as a massive upgrade over Columbo and allow us to look elsewhere with 1st pick of draft.​

Jonathan Fanene DE/DT. In the last 2 season he has played, (injured 2010) in limited playing time he has put up 12.5 sacks. He can play DE on run downs and slide inside on pass downs. When you consider around the league Langford is rated as one of the better 3-4 DE and has only put up 7.5 sacks in 4 seasons, if I was in charge of the money in Miami, im sure Fanene could be signed for a lot less and contribute a lot more.

Dan Connor ILB. Blue collar guy, intelligent football player, who came out of college as a tackling machine, but fell due to 40 time and the devalue at the ILB position. Now we are switching to 4-3, IMO he would plug the gap as a slighty 'poor-mans' Zach Thomas and allow Dansby and Burnett to play OLB. He is also only 26.

Richard Marshall CB/FS. IMO is very underrated. He is only 27 and has been consistantly good for 6 seasons. He has averaged over 60 tackles a year at corner and played very well at CB & FS last year. When you think people are clamouring for the 'overrated' Reggie Nelson after one good season, Richard Marshall put up similar numbers and would be a lot more versatile and cheaper. I would put him at FS, Reshard Jones SS and release Bell as cap casualty.
 
Jason Campbell. I'd like to get him if we don't end up getting Flynn or Manning. If the Browns end up trading early for the 2nd pick then I see the Redskins grabbing Tannehill so I'd like to bring Campbell in if he comes in cheap to compete with Moore. He's a solid option at QB and I wouldn't mind seeing a healthy competition next year at the QB position.

I think he is the league's unluckiest QB and would be happy to bring him in to compete with Moore.
 
I like a lot of your list but Dan Connor has insane injury history. No thanks. Not sure why people are convinced that Dansby isn't playing MLB in the 4-3.

I like Dansby but IMO he is a better OLB in a 4-3. I would love a major tackling machine on the inside of 3 and fair comment I take on board your concerns with Connor, but I think he could be signed to a 1 yr deal and would be ideal as a 2 down MLB.

I would then take DeCastro at #8. In my mind he is a sure pick and would allow Incognito to play his best position of RG.

Because it's been said that Koa Misi is our starting MLB in the 4-3.

No thanks..... he is terrible. I wacthed alot of redskins games when he was there and he is bad. Would rather have moore as the back up. and pick up a guy in the 3-4 round and have is learn behind hopefully Manning. I like the rest of the list of FA u picked especially the RT.

Campbell is the epitome of mediocrity. This team cannot compete against Brady/Pats if they keep pursuing mediocrity. He has nothing to offer the Phins n terms of getting to the next level.
 
Collins I totally agree with. Marshall somewhat. Not a fan of Fanene, and hell no to Connor.

I dont understand the hate for Dan Connor. Dont get me wrong I would prefer a Tulloch/Lofton/Hawthorne but they would cost big money and I would only want a run stop LB who would drop out on passing downs. Connor has mostly played OLB in Carolina, but in my mind would be a far better ILB where he was projected to play coming out of college.

CAMPBELL is overrated d**k. He couldn't compete w/my Grandmother--and she's been dead for 25 years.

With all the teams desperate for a starting QB, how come they are not lining up to sign the great Campbell.
Campbell is no competition for Moore, and likely no competition for Devlin.
