IMHO there are five guys that are hand in glove perfect fits for the Miami Dolphins: 1. James Lynch: play inside or out, brings pass rush inside or out, can set the edge outside, plays with power and has some advanced pass rush moves. Versatile, Quick twitch guy that is a high end workaholic. Dolphin type written all over him. 2. Cam Akers: Upside is significant and best football is ahead of him. Plus hands and if you want someone to steppe put a hat on someone coming after Tua this is your guy. By far the best pass blocker at RB in the draft. a patient runner with hands is perfect for a Chan Gailey offense. 3. Ezra Cleveland: Power built RT with the ability to hit the second level that brings versatility...gonna be an 8 year starting tackle or a ten year starting guard that could probably snap in a pinch. More plug and play although he needs strength and would be a good pairing with a project like Jackson. 4. Prince Tego Wanogo: Nowhere near a finished product so might be too much to ask to have two project tackles but he is a lot like Cleveland just not as finished as Cleveland is. 5. Robert Hunt: Aggressive powerful built guy that has snappy hands and can play inside or out. Versatile and will bring draft value. Despite small school guy he can play early. 6. Matt Hennesey: tough aggressive power game but brings position versatility and can hit the second level. These are 6 guys that appear to fit exactly what this team appears to value.....
I think our FO will surprise us with DT Raekwon Davis at 39 Swift or Dobbins at 56 Henessy or Tega Wanogho or Biadasz in the third for Tomorrow I would like Driscoll OT from Auburn and Salomon Kindley or Lemieux
I think if you take a second tackle you have to take a more game ready tackle...either Hunt or Cleveland. If not for the injuries Niang. This draft has a gazillion tackles that could end up high end...Alex Taylor is a freakin mountain that has been discussed among some people around these parts and he would be a fantastic developmental tackle...but I expect Jackson to be your "developmental guy" and I expect for them to double up but take a more game ready "swing guy" like Hunt or Cleveland.....gotta realize Jackson played last year at 20 years old........ Davis gets turned and spun ... A LOT...not a fan......
Ashyten Davis or Winfield? If you want a thumper then it is Chinn, and if you want a guy to develop with huge upside it is Dugger...if you want an over rated bust waiting to happen then it is Mckinney. Sleeper late is the kid from Baylor Chris Miller.
I would be happy with either Winfield Jr or Chinn. Dugger is interesting but his lack of competition is not impressive, given this FO' propensity for drafting developmental types I wouldn't be surprised if they take him.
I definitely like the idea of going with Cleveland. Consider what's left at tackle, would we have to use pick 39 on him?
This team needs to focus in impact players today -- wide receiver, running back, edge rusher, safety. Have some faith that you can turn a later-round pick into an adequate offensive lineman for christ's sake. I don't want to see Tannehill era 2.0 where we throw tons of precious resources into the offensive line.
Give me RB Taylor, Dobbins, or Swift Give me Delpit, Winfield, or McKinney Give me Hennessy or Biadasz I'll be happy. On a side note - I'd trade a high pick in 2021 to grab WR Mims.
Mike Pouncey, Laremy Tunsil, Brandon Albert, Ja’Wuan James, Jermon Bushrod — at one point that was the starting offensive line, and all of them were first-round picks and/or previous Pro-Bowlers. That’s an awful lot of resources in the offensive line. Let’s not do that again just because we drafted a quarterback.
