Lance Zierlein, NFL.com: LB Haason Reddick, Temple
“Coming off an impressive showing at the Senior Bowl, Reddick is one of the most intriguing prospects in this draft. He has the athleticism to play in space on first and second down, and the talent to rush from the edge on third. Sounds exactly like something the Dolphins could use.”
Daniel Jeremiah, NFL.com: LB T.J. Watt, Wisconsin
“Watt isn't as freaky as his older brother, J.J., but he is a very good football player. He is ultra-versatile, athletic and instinctive.”
Bucky Brooks, NFL.com: DE Taco Charlton, Michigan
“The team's primary pass rushers (Cameron Wake
and Mario Williams) are on the back side of their careers. Charlton would add some speed, athleticism, and sizzle as a 3-4 rusher.”
Chad Reuter, NFL.com: TE O.J. Howard, Alabama
“Howard can be a safety valve for Ryan Tannehill and a good run blocker on the edge.”
Rob Rang, CBSSports.com: TE David Njoku, Miami (Fla.)
“With current tight ends Dion Sims , Jordan Cameron and MarQueis Gray each in the final year of their contracts, the Dolphins will certainly be looking for help at the position and could be too intrigued with the athletic upside of the local product, Njoku, to let him leave town.”
Dane Brugler, CBSSports.com: TE O.J. Howard, Alabama
“There are glaring needs on defense for the Dolphins, but an athletic tight end like Howard would do wonders for the Miami offense.”
Mel Kiper, ESPN: LB Jarrad Davis, Florida
“As a steady and reliable linebacker with a nose for the football, Davis' versatility stands out. He could play inside or outside linebacker at the next level, though he's not a guy who will get 10 sacks on the outside in a 3-4. He can be an every-down guy."
Chris Burke, SI.com: CB Sidney Jones, Washington
“The Dolphins may want to stand pat at corner (at least early in the draft) — Byron Maxwell’s contract doesn’t become fully expendable until 2018, and youngsters Xavien Howard, Tony Lippett and Bobby McCain have shown promise. On the flip side, Jones is an impressive, physical cover man, essentially a more complete version of Howard.”
Matt Miller, Bleacher Report: EDGE player, Takkarist McKinley, UCLA
Steve Palazzolo, Pro Football Focus: EDGE player, Charles Harris, Missouri
“Miami went on a nice playoff run in 2016, but there were some concerns up front beyond DT Ndamukong Suh and DE Cameron Wake. Harris adds a pass-rushing threat after finishing 12th among the nation’s edge rushers with an 88.2 pass-rush grade. Armed with the best spin move in college football, Harris has been one of the nation’s best pass rushers the last two years, though there is some work to be done to improve his work in the run game.”
Eric Galko, Sporting News: DE Solomon Thomas, Stanford
“The Dolphins relied on Cam Wake to generate their pass rush without Olivier Vernon, and Mario Williams was a bit of a letdown in 2016. Thomas is a versatile interior and outside rusher who can fit any defense Miami wants to use …”
Jason McIntyre, TheBigLead.com: CB Marlon Humphrey, Alabama
“Humphrey started the season with a tipped pick-6 against USC. The Dolphins needs feel similar to the Redskins, Raiders and Falcons — the offense is impressive, but the defense needs work.”
