    If we can land Logan Mankins, then I would consider free agency a success.

    Unfortunately our biggest need on the team is a QB. There is no free agent QB which would upgrade this position. So the QB position will have to be upgraded through the draft or through a trade.
    There are several free agents which I would love the Dolphins to make offers to. At wide receiver. I would love to see the Dolphins go after Vincent Jackson or Sidney Rice in free agency. Santa Moss would be a possible option if Jackson or Rice were not able to be signed. I would love to see the Dolphins go after Logan Mankins. He would not only upgrade the offensive line. This would also take a quality player from the Patriots. Two other offensive linemen I would love to see on the Dolphins are, Tyson Clabo from Atlanta and Carl Nicks from NO. While I would love the Dolphins to resign Paul Soliai at nose tackle. I would not be disappointed if they signed Haloti Ngata from the Ravens instead. At linebacker. The one free agent I would be quite happy with is Tamba Hali who plays for the Chiefs and he would be a great complement pass rusher with Cameron Wake. At tight end. I think Owen Daniels who now plays for the Texans would be a definite upgrade. Two running backs the Dolphins should be interested in are Ahmad Bradshaw with the Giants and Deangelo Williams with the Pathers. Either of these backs would instantly upgrade the backfield speed. Obviously the Dolphins will be lucky to sign one or two big free agents in the off season. These are just the names of the players I would hope they are interested in signing.

    My opinions change every day with Free Agency. Before, I just wanted to make 1-2 small moves, have a good draft, then head into the 2011 season. Now, after thinking about some things and looking at the FA list, I am pretty excited. If we can grab Logan Mankins, I don't think we would need to make any other changes to our O-Line...Long-Mankins-Berger or Incognito-Jerry-Carey. That would be very solid.

    WR:
    Vincent Jackson
    Sidney Rice
    Santonio Holmes
    Malcolm Floyd

    I don't think we could get any of the above^, but if we could, the only one I would really want is Vincent Jackson...maybe Sidney Rice. But again, I don't think we could get any.

    James Jones- I want him the most. He could replace either Wallace or Moore and our top 4 receivers would look like: Marshall-Hartline-Bess-Jones. That could be a night and day difference for our depth and for the improvement of Henne. Plus, I am hoping we take a WR in the 3rd round or 2nd if we can get back into the 2nd. That would be my dream.

    I wouldn't mind either Doucet or Santana Moss also. Not 100% sure on Moss though.

    RB:

    I don't see how anyone would want a RB in free agency. DeAngelo Williams is one of my favorite players, but will be 28 next year. Foster is staying in Houston, Benson is 28, BJGE is staying in NE, and Darren Sproles wouldn't really fit anywhere for us. Michael Bush is pretty solid imo, but that would kinda force us back into the 2008 run game. Pound the ball, pound the ball more, and pound it even more. That is not exciting.

    No other RBs stand out to me in Free Agency. Let's get Mark Ingram or Ryan Williams in the draft!

    LB:

    I don't think we have an immediate need at LB, but I think Crowder will be gone very soon and we need another pass rusher. I kind of like Tavares Gooden, but not as a starter really. Antwan Barnes could be our 3rd down pass rush solution...But, the OLB I would like the most is Kamerion Wimbley. I think he could be pretty nasty in a Mike Nolan defense.

    CB:

    I love Vontae/Sean and Nolan Carroll looked like he was coming on towards the end of the season, but we need more help in our secondary. Benny Sapp is downright awful and I don't even know if Nate Ness was activated once this year. I want Al Harris back somehow or possibly Phillip Buchanon. idk really. No CB really stands out to me in Free Agency, but a lot of them would be better than Sapp.

    Until there is a CBA, there is no FA. No one knows if an UFA is going to be based on 4, 5 or 6 years.

    I understand.....this discussion is based on going into next year like a normal year of free agency, simply meant to talk about some "possible" FA players we could use to upgrade our team next year
