With our last Season Weakness…..a logical pick would be

[fastball83]

Last season our 2 biggest weakness was OL and Rush Defense.
So if we are logical and at the seing of our FA, we are fine to fill some holes in draft, the pick seems to be either Conklin (an OL Albert,Bushrod,Pouncey,Conklin,James would be very attractive) or Billings ( an interior DL of Billings next to Suh would be very special) and could mask OV departure and an older Wake.

I know we need a CB too but I think Xavien Howard and James Bradburry could be our target at this position.

I believe a run stuffing DT/43 NT is a huge need. Do not like Mitchell at all. Deep draft for DT so #42 could be a good spot. I would not have an issue with Conklin at 13 and one of several DT's at 42.

A change in defensive scheme and the hopeful progress of NT Phillips should go a long way in fixing some of the fundamental problems we had vs the run last year. No need to take an interior DL early.

If you draft Conklin it's to probably place him at LG and then eventually LT (or RT).

Bushrod is a backup tackle option in that situation and Miami has to find the best player out of Douglas, Turner, Thomas, Urbik to play RG.

We need a starting corner, preferably 2

That would be Urbik at RG most likely. At least the first person off the bench is Bushrod instead of Dallas Thomas or one of the other turnstiles....Young, etc.

I've said elsewhere, IIRC, Taylor and Grimes gave up half the Ds TDs in the last half of the season. Yes, the DL had problems - run D and pass rush - but Williams should help the pass rush and in setting the edge, and just about anyone's grandmother is better than Mitchell. I agree with Conklin if you're thinking post-Albert, but R1 or R2 HAS to be CB.

I think it's Turner. Watching a Jay Ajayi video that was posted on here earlier in the year . . . . that cat can move with the best of them. Just a big ball of clay that could be a special player on this offensive line. I think Douglas will serve as the active backup Center/interior player while Bushrod will be the active swing tackle. Urbik will be inactive along with Sam Young. Thomas will be the odd man out (he'll need to make one hell of a turn around for us to keep that 1.7 million on the books).
