    The Dolphins will have a full contingent of scouts at the Senior Bowl this week, and there’s one player in the game who would make a lot of sense with the 14th overall pick, if he’s still available (a huge if): Washington defensive tackle Danny Shelton.

    “An absolute force at his position,” NFL Network’s Charles Davis said today. “Can run all day. The stamina is what will surprise. When he runs, the ground shakes.”

    Besides being a force against the run, “the upside is this guy can rush the passer,” Davis said.

    Said NFL Network's Mike Mayock: “He’s awesome. At 350, 360, he has great feet. He’s relentless."

    Mayock said the only nose tackles like Shelton, "who can play every snap, [are] Vince Wilfork and Dontari Poe. That cat’s special. I believe he’s a top 10 pick.”

    Shelton compares himself to Baltimore’s Haloti Ngata: “Has always been an idol for me growing up.”

    The Dolphins, who say they are not sure if Mike Wallace will be retained, will be closely evaluating several deep threats at this week’s Senior Bowl, including Ohio State’s 6-1 Devin Smith, UM’s 5-10 Phillip Dorsett, and Kansas State’s 5-11 Tyler Lockett.

    “Tyler Lockett is going to win in man to man all day long,” Mayock said. “He’s going to have a dominating week.”

    There are also three 6-3 possession-type receivers in the game: UNLV’s Devante Davis, Washington State’s Vince Mayle and Michigan State’s Tony Lippett. All would be possibilities if the Dolphins cut Brandon Gibson.

    Interesting. Having a big body in the slot could change things.
