The Miami Dolphins are next up on the clock. The Dolphins have been very active this offseason, making a few big signings to address some needs. They made the biggest splash with Mike Wallace, a vertical threat to stretch opposing defenses and Dustin Keller to give Ryan Tannehill some opportunities for big plays. They also re-signed Brian Hartline and Matt Moore. On the defensive side of the ball, they grabbed linebackers Dannell Ellerby and Phillip Wheeler and brought in Brent Grimes to help their secondary.
Where do they look in the draft? Another cornerback could make a lot of sense. A defensive end or defensive tackle would also help bolster an improving defense. Do they double down and add another offensive weapon like another top wide receiver?
