A lot of talk about the first round, but I started looking at players who might be available in round 2. I think round 2 will have a lot of talent. Here's a list.

Jaelen Strong WR --- I don't buy the top 20, but I think Strong could be an early second rounder. Can he make it to #47? If so that would be a nice pick for Miami.

Dorial Green-Beckham WR -- He could go anywhere and it will be interesting to see what round. I think the fact that he hasn't played football for a year moves him into the second round. Would Miami take the risk?

Phillip Dorsett WR --- If the Dolphins retain Mike Wallace, I see the team looking for a bigger receiver. If Wallace is gone, however, Dorsett would make a lot of sense at #47. It's possible he goes a lot higher, especially if he runs a 4.2 something at the combine.

Tevin Coleman RB -- Honestly, after Gurley this is the player I want at running back. I think he goes very early R2. I like the scenario of Maxx Williams R1 and Coleman R2. That would jumpstart the offense!

Duke Johnson RB --- Absolutely love Johnson, but he's not the big complementary back that the Dolphins are looking for. Still, he is one of the more explosive players in the entire draft.

Jay Ajayi RB -- The comparisons to Marshawn Lynch are off base IMO, but he is a big back who can do it all.

Ronald Darby CB --- A run on corner could start pretty early, maybe the end of round 1. Darby could make it to #47.

Ifo Ekpre-Olomu CB --- I read an article recently that indicated IEO could possible play safety. He is an interesting player and I love his talent. See him as someone who could match up with the Patriots quick slot guys. But maybe he can play safety? He's about the size of Earl Thomas.

Kevin Johnson CB -- I think he ends up going late first round so may be hopeful to include here.

Clive Walford TE -- Maybe a 2nd or 3rd rounder. I'm not quite as high on him as others.

Jake Fisher OT --- A little too finese for my taste, but he has experience in a fast-paced offense and is a good pass blocker.

Cedric Ogbuehi OT -- Projected near end of R1 prior to injury. He may slide to Miami at #47.

Hroniss Grasu C -- Really love this player. Joe Philibin has been wanting to use a face tempo offense, but hasn't had the players to make it work. Grasu has that experience at Oregon and is a tough, smart player who is more physical than given credit for. I think a great fit.

Josue Matias OG -- A 6-6 325 pound guard from Florida.

Danielle Hunter DE -- Based on potential he could go late first, but I think 2nd round is more appropriate.

Mario Edwards DE/DT -- Could be a target depending on what Miami does in free agency.

Tyeler Davison DT -- A small school prospect who might go a little higher than media projections.

Denzel Perryman ILB -- Based on his size, he may drop a little more than people expect. Will he get to #47?
 
If Ogbuehi makes it to the second round I'm not sure there's another player that I would be ok with drafting over him. He's the perfect player for us IMO, and a talent level far above a 2nd rnd talent.

He's played every oline positoon at A&M, and despite the fact he didn't get the hype the last 2 OTs got out of A&M I think he's far better and he's more upside. He's an incredibly well rounded player too, can do it all.

He also gives us future insurance for Albert. He allows so much flexibility on your oline, whether it's scheme wise, or injury wise, this is the kind of player you want on you team.

Agree. He would be a nice get there.
 
Jaelen Collins, Kurtis Drummond, Paul Dawson, Jordan Phillips, and Nelson Algholor.
 
I'd add Cann, X Cooper, and Chris Hackett to the list. I think you have a lot of great options listed. For Miami, I'd take Fisher over Ogbuehi.

Of the players listed here, though, I'd only pass up Tevin Coleman for Xavier Cooper or DGB, and DGB.

I think Dawson and Collins will be gone, but if available, they definitely deserve consideration. Eric Kendricks too.
 
Paul Dawson would be my pick, fills a big need and dont think theres value at LB with our round 1 pick...
 
If Davis is there when we select in round 2 it's because teams are really questioning his motor

i wouldnt question his motor due to what his position in the team defense expected him to do. it wasnt to disrupt and make palys, it was more to take on all the blocks, fill your space your gaps, and open up room for the backes to fill. due to this i believe he wasnt explosive and disruptive like he could of been in the backfield in games.... but this is my opinion. In Senior Bowl drills and game he actually showed how explosive he can be, and disruptive into the backfield.

Xavier Cooper also is a player like this who is a very smart player and plays with great technique and angles (better than Davis maybe) but wasnt always disruptive though he can be, though he was in the backfield making plays throughout more.

these guys are team defensive players, with ability to cause problems if allowed in their schemes. I like them both.
 
“@JoshNorris: #TexasAM T Cedric Ogbuehi: 6'5/306 lbs - 35 7/8" arms - 10" hands.”

Beast..

One of my favorite players in the draft, and my top target if he someone makes it in the 2nd rnd.

I think Davis goes R1, but I like him if he's there in the 2nd. I really think if Miami doesn't solve the DT issue in free agency, that the team will take one in the 1st. Malcom Brown most likely as I think Shelton will be off the board.

Miami would be smart to start preparing for like after Brandon Albert. I love Albert, but he's rarely made it out of a season with out missing time due to injury. I think the team will look for a developmental tackle most likely later in the draft. That said, if Ogbuehi or Fisher are there at #47 that could change things.

how many DT are going to be flying in the first round? there are a lot of guys stated above Carl Davis, possibly due to more potential and athletic ability and size that I think would go before him. Plus DEs also are more of a thrive to get due to rushing the edge in the draft.... Carl Davis I think could slide to us in the 2nd....

plus I have in the back of my mind a trade down from our #14 spot if their isnt a big name we should definitely jump on there... hopefully allowing us getting another 2nd rounder!!!
