The Miami Dolphins had a great first year under Bill Parcells team but they had their sophomore slump last year. One of the reasons for their great success their first year with Parcells and company was due to Joey Porter. In that season he recorded 17 sacks! Last year though his role was reduced and then released and now plays for the Cardinals. The first area would be in outside linebacker or defensive end. The second area would be in the secondary, which is an area I do not think they will address early in this draft.
The reason they will wait on drafting players in the secondary is because they spent 2 of their tops picks on that position last year. They picked up Vontae Davis and Sean Smith (from Utah). They both played decent last year and will look to make a large jump in their production this coming season. For that reason I do not think they will address this need with their 1st pick.
I believe they will address the need for a pass rusher with their first pick. I watched Parcells do the same thing in Dallas… that is draft an OLB with your first pick year after year. They will end up picking Jason Pierre-Paul from Southern Florida. Before the combine he was just another DE but since then he has shown that he has all the tools and ability to be a force in the NFL.

Yea, he really could be a legit pass rusher. I expect the fins to make a big push this year...pending too many injuries.
