Being the photo negative of the Conference Champions is generally a bad way to build a winner, yet here we are. As we head into cuts, the Dolphins are short at LB and CB, two positions the Broncos have covered with class. Thankfully our head coach may still know a person or two in Denver: time to get on the phone?
Corner: The last corner on the Dolphins roster is currently likely to be Chimdi Chekwa. Meanwhile, the Broncos are likely to cut a highly talented player (Taurean Nixon) becuase he is too far down their depth chart. We might not want to wait and see if Nixon falls to us, either. The Dolphins now have an additional seventh round pick to play with- why not try to deal it for Lorenzo Doss? Doss is the Broncos CB 4 but would likely be our CB 2 or 3 until Culliver comes back in October. I'm sure the Broncos like Nixon enough to let Doss go if the price is right....
Linebacker: We need help. Currently, Mike Hull likely makes our roster as LB 6. The Broncos are likely to cut a player named Vontarrius Dora who could be a difference maker for us. Dora could supplant Paysinger as LB 4, and almost certainly would surpass the undrafted Zach Vigil.
Coach Gase: Please make a call to Denver. They might even want Jamil Douglas, and wouldn't it be nice to get something back for that panic buy?
A final thought: Don't be surprised if Ronnie Hillman winds up our RB 4... he's almost certain to be cut in Denver where (you guessed it) they are long on running backs.

If we sign Hillman that means Damien Williams is gone right?
DOLPHINS HAVE A CONDITIONAL 7TH ROUND PICK FOR MCAIN. WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS? HE MIGHT NOT MEET THEM SO DOLPHINS MIGHT GET NOTHING
Yes- Williams would be the cut. We might be able to keep Pead on PUP
Chris McCain may not even make the Saints 53 man roster therefore we would lose that conditionla 7th rd pick

That's true- and in that eventuality, I think it might be worth dealing one of the picks we acquired trading down at the end of last year's draft if we can get a promising young corner. Such a player will cost us a 4th round pick in next year's draft- might as well take advantage of the Bronco's squeeze to get something for (nearly) nothing.
Keep Wormsley and cut Earl Mitchell
McCain will make the Saints roster.

They will keep both Wormsley and Mitchell. Carl- I agree.
I like Foster, Ajayi, Drake and Pead.
Williams is cut. Might keep Thomas.
I think both Wormsley and Mitchell hang on.
