My would be:
Get rid of Burke (Dc) and Christensen (Oc)
Get an established Oc and Dc, Norv Turner maybe and someone like Vic Vangio or Mike Nolan, Gase must be relieved of his playcalling..
Other things, Draft a Qb for development get a playmaking tight end, get a premier guard in Free Agency and cut some players to get some more cap...
Draft could be
1Rd: Hayden Hurst Tight End
2Rd: Lamar Jackson or Baker Mayfield (Qb) if they fall..
the rest BPA.
Also get a new Punter Haack is really bad Darr was much better

And here's a link to all the other Offensive Linemen available this offseason:Steve-Mo likes this. -
I agree with adding a guard through free agency. The line must be tuned up just a bit. I like DJ Fluker in terms of age and fit. Some depth through the draft, I'd give Asiata a look and maybe see what a healthy Larsen can do. Jesse Davis is actually going to be decent and the move to tackle may either signal James leaving, Tunsil switching to Guard or just some extra depth? Either way, I don't see our O line in the peril that others seem to view it.
I'm definitely an advocate of NOT being bigspenders in free agency. I'd like us to add a big blocking tight end for depth, and then draft one that can catch the ball and make plays. Gase seems to like to throw to the TEs, and he really hasn't had a good one to work with. Finding a mainstay at that position should be a goal this offseason.
As for drafting a quarterback to groom under Tannehill? Why waste the pick if Tannehill is going to be the guy anyway? We definitely need a backup for him, assuming Moore and Cutler leave. But do we sign a player that can take his job or just provide security in case of injury? Do we draft his replacement and eventually let it create controversy?
Aside from drafting a dynamic TE (assuming a good one is available) I'm really all about us improving on the defensive side of the ball through the draft. We need a pass rusher, and we definitely need to upgrade at linebacker. Assuming Raekwon comes back healthy, we should be decent. This team isn't as far off as some think it is. We were killed by injuries this year and above all, we lost our starting quarterback. I think the main thing is to hit a home run on whoever this first round pick turns out to be. Whatever position we address with that pick, please let it be a franchise player. That's where the change begins.
Other than that, I think we need to find a complimentary back for Drake. We definitely need to bring back Williams, and maybe sign a vet in free agency. I like Isaiah Crowell from Cleveland, and either Alfredo Morris or Jeremy Hill can be signed for cheap.
So....Free Agency
(G) DJ Fluker
-Blocking TE (Lee Smith-Raiders)
(RB) Jeremy Hill/Crowell/Morris
(DE) De Quan Jones (Titans)
????
If we made four affordable free agent signings like that, I would be ecstatic.
The main thing (always) is that we have a good draft. -
Miami Dolphins: Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State
A quarterback will be debated here if there is a worthy one available, but I think the Dolphins will continue to start Ryan Tannehill next year. They'll focus on another position, and perhaps that'll be cornerback. Byron Maxwell was released, so Miami will need to find a replacement.
- Miami Dolphins: Hayden Hurst, TE, South Carolina
The Dolphins could add another offensive weapon. Addressing tight end makes sense, as I don't have much hope for Julius Thomas. - Miami Dolphins: Sione Tehuema, LB, Southeast Louisiana Miami has a poor linebacking corps that is relying on Lawrence Timmons. That obviously needs to change.
- Miami Dolphins: Royce Freeman, RB, Oregon
The Dolphins traded Jay Ajayi, so they'll look for a new running back this upcoming offseason to pair with Kenyan Drake. Miami Dolphins: Martez Ivey, G, Florida
Miami's offensive line is an absolute mess. Laremy Tunsil has never adjusted to left tackle. Center Mike Pouncey needs hip surgery. And yet, both players have been much better than either of the two starting guards.
That's how a Mocksite has our first 5 Picks

Also....I see your point on signing Williams. Either we re sign him or we go for a different option in free agency. -
I’m all in on Lamar Jackson, people are sleeping on him for whatever reason. But they slept on DeShaun Watson too and look how that worked for Houston.

Lamar is the next Vick of the NFL. I would absolutely love to get that on to my team. I will place whatever bet you would like on Lamar being the first QB pro bowler out of this draft class. Your very adamant about this so don’t back down now. -

The issue over Gase's playcalling is old-hat at this point. As the season progressed the offensive gameplan and the playcalling were both very, very good. He adapted perfectly. There's nothing wrong with Gase calling plays.
