The Dolphins enter the upcoming draft with many holes they need to fill. From depth on offense at tight end and running back to adding more quality pieces on the offensive line and maybe finding a starter at left guard.

On defense, Miami needs help at cornerback, safety, linebacker, and defensive line (DE and DT). They will have their work cut out for them, but having this many picks will go a long way in helping address the many needs this team has.
