A Very Early Look at Potential Dolphin Draft Picks - Picked at Projected Rounds

Based upon the prior recommendations of need and round to be selected from (Prior to Senior Bowl):

High Draft Pick Areas – OG/OT, NT/DT, S

Mid Draft Pick Areas – LB, CB

Mid to Late Draft Pick Areas – TE, RB, WR, QB

Late Draft Pick Areas - K

QB

Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado State – 3rd to 5th Round (probably a 2nd Round pick)

Shane Carden, QB, East Carolina – 4^th to 5^th Round

RB

Not overly impressed with RB’s in the mid to late rounds.  Pick up best of undrafted free agent.  But if you must
David Johnson, RB, Northern Iowa - 6th Round (not likely)
David Cobb, RB, Minnesota  - 6th Round.(not likely)
Kenny Hilliard, RB, LSU  - 7th Round to undrafted

OG

La'el Collins, G/OT, LSU – only if available in 2^nd Round.  Won’t be there by 3^rd Round (versatility in position is a bonus)

Arie Kouandjio, G, Alabama – 2^nd Round

Cameron Erving, G/OT/C, Florida State – 3^rd to 4^th Round

Jeremiah Poutasi, G/OT, Utah - 3^rd to 4^th Round
Donovan Smith, OT/OG, Penn State - 4th Round
Ali Marpet, G/C, Hobart College - 5th to 7th Round

OT

Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon – if available in 4^th Round (not likely)

TE

Tyler Kroft, TE, Rutgers – 4^th to 5^th Round

C.J. Uzomah, TE, Auburn – 7^th Round to undrafted

Pharaoh Brown, TE, Oregon – undrafted

NT/DT

Danny Shelton*, NT, Washington -1^st Round (I like better then the projected #1 NT below)

Eddie Goldman, NT, Florida State -1^st Round (if Shelton isn’t available)

Terry Williams, NT, East Carolina – 5^th Round

ILB

Mike Hull, ILB/OLB, Penn State – 4^th Round (shows signs that often injured, but if healthy?)

Jake Ryan, ILB/OLB, Michigan – 5^th Round

CB

Jalen Collins, CB, LSU – 2^nd to 4^th Round

Marcus Peters, CB, Washington – 3rd Round

D'Joun Smith, CB, Florida Atlantic – 4^th Round 

Senquez Golson, CB, Ole Miss – 5^th Round (because of extensive trouble, otherwise 3^rd Round)
Ladarius Gunter, CB, Miami - 5th to 6th Round
Craig Mager, CB, Texas State - 7th Round to undrafted
