Fansided

● By Wayne Gregoire
The Miami Dolphins started their season on fire. It really was a tale of two halves, as the team's offense cooled significantly toward the end of the season. It was literally cold when they played their last game and lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round of the playoffs. The team enters the off-season $52 million over the cap. Contracts will need to be renegotiated, and several players will likely be released to get back to level. Among those could be edge rusher Emmanuel Ogbah, and linebackers Jerome Baker and David Long. This will put a premium on defensive players in the draft, and the team will also need to address the interior offensive line. They are likely to lose several key contributors in free agency since they won't have the means to sign them. The team will use six draft picks as best they can to address these holes. Since there are no trades in this mock draft, they will make their selections where Pro Football Focus has them scheduled to (21, 53, 158, 186, 199, 242).
