Obviously, i'm hoping the Dolphins trade down b/c i think they have a LOT of needs and have to recoup that 2nd round pick they gave to Denver for Marshall. I'm a HUGE fan of Carimi, Jordan Cameron and Austin Pettis. For every mock i would love to include all 3 guys, but i spread them out for conversation sake. I also went heavy on offense b/c it was terrible last year and getting guys back like AJ Edds and Odrick, who didn't play last year, is almost like already having 2 defensive draft picks in the bag already. That being said, i have 2 scenarios....
1st one: Dolphins trade down from #15 to early-mid 20's and pick up a late 2nd round pick.
1 - Gabe Carimi - OT Wisconsin
2 - Stefen Wisniewski - C/OG Penn State
3 - Jordan Todman RB UCONN
4 - Austin Pettis - WR Boise State
5 - Rashad Carmichael - CB Virginia Tech
6 - Ricardo Lockette - WR Fort Valley State
7 - TJ Yates - QB UNC
7- Karl Klug - DE Iowa
Carimi is NFL ready at RT and allows us to kick Carey in to RG, strengthening 2 OL spots. Wisniewski can add depth at C/G or step up and start if Jerry or Incognito fail. Todman is a speedster we lack at RB, and although not huge, we rotate backs anyway....we'll still need to sign a vet, maybe a guy like Deangelo Williams. Pettis will push Hartline and Carmichael will add depth at CB where there is none. Lockette is a speed guy we can groom. Yates may not fall that far, but if he does, he adds an experienced young guy to throw in at #3 if we don't sign a vet....or do sign a vet and trade Henne or Thigpen. Klug is an effort guy i love who could at depth at DE.
2nd one: Dolphins trade down from #15 to mid-late 1st and pick up a late 2nd round pick. They then trade that 1st round pick to a team picking early in Round #2 looking to jump back up for Mallet, Ingram (if he drops once Miami moves back), or someone else....and for this, they receive early 2nd and 3rd round picks.
2 - Brandon Harris - CB Miami
2 - DeMarco Murray - RB Oklahoma
3 - Titus Young - WR Boise State
3 - Jordan Cameron - TE USC
4 - John Moffitt - C/OG Wisconsin
5 - Pat Devlin - QB Delaware
6 - Tori Gurley - WR South Carolina
7 - Jah Reid - OT UCF
7- Karl Klug - DE Iowa
Brandon Harris gives us another starting CB opposite Davis, which we need against NE. He's good both in coverage and against the run....a real solid DB. Murray is a guy who i think still has his best years ahead of him now that he's been healthy for a year and gains more confidence in his knee. He has great speed and is a FORCE in the pass game. We would still need a veteran back to go with him, like Deangelo Williams. Titus Young would give us the outside speed weapon opposite Marshall to help go deep. Jordan Cameron is a SICK athlete....great hands, fast, and incredible leaping ability. I don't think there are many LBs in the league who'd be able to handle him. I don't care if he hasn't played much or needs to improve his blocking, he's a matchup nightmare. Moffitt adds depth at C and G and Devlin adds a smart, young QB to groom who won't challenge Henne anytime soon or shake his confidence. Gurley has a ton of potential (came out too early imo), Reid adds quality depth at RT in case Carey isn't healed, and Klug is a nice effort guy to add depth at DE.
