First off, let me say that if I'm the Dolphins GM I do everything in my power to trade up for Andrew Luck or Matt Barkley. Five years from now, no one will remember what you gave up because those two will be so great it won't matter. But, with Miami moving down the draft's pecking order it's going to be hard to leapfrog teams. So option number two for me is trading down and getting more picks. Anyway, here it goes. Let me know what you think.
Round 1 -- Michael Floyd WR --- I think Miami could trade down 5-7 spots maybe and get Floyd, a guy who has been compared to Larry Fitzgerald and could develop into a true number one receiver. Floyd would also give the Dolphins another redzone target and would force teams to single cover Brandon Marshall. Also, if I'm GM I'm hedging my bets against a possible Marshall meltdown of some sort. Take Marshall away and the Dolphins wide receiver core is a major area of need.
Round 2 -- Coby Fleener TE-- One of my favorite players in this draft and a guy that I think has an outside shot at the first round. At 6-6 with excellent/reliable hands, Fleener is the ultimate redzone target. Put him with Marshall and Floyd and the Dolphins become very hard to defense.
Round 2 -- Brandon Weeden QB -- If the Dolphins miss on Luck and Barkley, the next qb on my list is Ryan Tannehill. After that it's Weeden and I think he would be an absolute steal in the middle of round 2. I'm adding this pick in the first round trade down.
Round 3 -- Levy Adcock OT -- The RT Miami so desperately needs. Not sure he makes it to the third round, but a trade up option could be possible.
Round 4 -- Jeff Demps RB -- With Reggie Bush aboard this seems like an odd selection. However, Bush is signed for just one more year and has been injury prone. Demps is similar to Bush in many ways, a big play threat everytime he touches the ball. Also an excellent kick returner.
Round 5 -- Best Pass Rusher Available --
Round 6 -- Best Corner Available (Porter who CK likes?)
Round 7 -- Kellen Moore QB -- I don't think Miami takes two quarterbacks, but Moore is intriguing. Chad Henne will be gone. Matt Moore and Brandon Weeden will battle it out for the starting spot. Kellen Moore could battle Pat Devlin for the third quarterback spot. Kellen is short, listed at 5-11, and doesn't have a strong arm. But he is so accurate, makes great decisions and actually throws a nice deep ball. Not saying he is the second coming of Drew Brees, but at this point in the draft why not take a chance?
