I thought I would do a brief write up on 5 prospects I could see Miami drafting at #19. I think ultimately they will draft one of these players, who depends on how FA goes. I will also list their # ranking from my new Top 32 Big Board in the draft forum, and list them by highest rated player, not most likely to be drafted.

#3 Darqueze Dennard CB Michigan State
Physical press corner, younger brother of Patriots CB Alfonzo Dennard. May be knocked in the pre-draft procces because he may not run a 4.4, but shows plenty of recovery speed on tape. Outstanding ball skills. He is comfortable in off-man and in zone, but if the Dolphins do not target him, it will be because they want to strictly run a zone scheme. Compares to Darrelle Revis, and has All-Pro potential.
#9 Calvin Pryor FS Louisville
Rare safety who can play in the box, and center field. Big hitter with good instincts and ball skills. Has the size and range you look for in a safety. If the Dolphins do not re-sign Clemons they could look to draft Pryor at #19. If you haven’t already check out his game vs Rutgers. Compares to Dashon Goldson without the penalties.
#12 Eric Ebron TE North Carolina
Matchup nightmare. Willing blocker. Has the ability to flexout or play tradition Y role. Huge game against Miami this year. Playmaker after the catch. Grades as a good blocker for a receiving tight end. At his best making touch catches in traffic. Pro Bowl caliber Tight End Compares to Julius Thomas but much more physical blocking in the run game, and run after catch.
#13 Taylor Lewan OT Michigan
Some may knock him for his feet, but he makes up for with his his length and base. May be suited better for the right side. Gets movement in the run game. Nasty olineman with the mean streak you look for. Gets in trouble when he over extends. Could be a top 10 Offensive Tackle in the league in a few years. Compares to a less athletic Jake Long.
# 19 Zack Martin OG Notre Dame
Plays LT for Notre Dame but projects to LG in the NFL. Has the feet and base to be an excellent interior pass protector at the next level.Gets to the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] level well. Has the nastiness you look for in a guard, and is very intelligent on blitzes, stunts, and slants. Looks to be a Pro Bowl guard. Compares to a poor man’s Evan Mathis.

I honestly think Lewan drops possibly to the second round. I know crazy but I just see it happening. I would love to grab Ebron and add him with Clay and this offense. Ebron would be the pick if we sign a lineman or two in free ageency.

The only problem is Ebron might not make it past the Jets at #18. But I would be all for adding him if he is on the board.
 
that's part of my problem with taylor lewan...a less athletic jake long...i see similar feet and jakes feet never really impressed me all that much as a left tackle in college or the pros...

i haven't seen much of that pryor kid yet i take that back i've seen a lot of louisville but only keyed bridgewater but i'm going to now that you said dashon goldson like pro...cause i loved that guy in san fran when i would see them

interested in your take on dion bailey??? i was a fan at lb and from what i have seen i am a fan at safety too...can cover the slot a little tackles very good instincts and the football finds him...he's always around the ball
 
dolphins don't need cb or fs they need ol, rb, lb,wr
 
How many games would you say you've watched on average for each guy?

At least 5 if you count cut-ups

I like Bailey too but there's a few others I like more like Joyner, Reynolds, and Sunseri. I think he is a day 2 pick.
 
Ebron, Lewan, Kouandijo, Martin, or Robinson for me...still way early though
 
Not in the first round. No way. I had him mocked to us when he declared here. But 1st round is too rich. (And go back and watch UCF game where he looked like shat in the 2nd half and lost the game.)

Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks, 2 former NFL scouts have him in the 1st round...
