Dolphins 2022 Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

Projections are all over the place when it comes to the Miami Dolphins first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft

Jordan Reid, ESPN.com — Edge Logan Hall, Houston

At 6-foot-5, 278 pounds, Hall quickly stuck out as one of the most physically imposing prospects at Senior Bowl practices. He created easy wins at the line of scrimmage with his hands, length and wide array of moves. He also has the versatility to fit multiple schemes and spots up front. Hall is still scratching the surface of what he can become, and his foundation of natural traits could make him an early contributor in a defensive line rotation.

Kevin Hanson, Sports Illustrated — WR Chris Olave, Ohio State

Addressing one of Miami’s biggest needs heading into the offseason would help to support Tua Tagovailoa’s development. Olave is a polished route-runner with the ability to be a weapon in the vertical passing game. The former Buckeye holds the school record with 35 receiving touchdowns and has averaged 15.4 yards per catch over his career.

Just have a hard time seeing us taking another late 1st round OL prospect, when we have a bunch of them on the roster already and we are 1000% going to spend money on veterans in the room.

I see the most realistic pick being one of the LB's (Lloyd, Dean, Clark, Harris)

I agree. Miami needs to do what many other teams seem to be able to do... draft OL in the middle rounds and coach 'em up to be at least competent at their position. And that's why you need veteran Free Agents; they can start while those youngsters are learning.

Curious what most would consider a win in R1 and R2 for OT, C, LB? Raimann and Christian Harris? Zion Johnson and Harris?

I don’t think we’ll have the opportunity to draft Linderbaum.

It seems like fixing T, C, LB would transform this team into serious contenders.

IMO it will depend a ton on FA and the BPA at our pick. I think we have a ton of young players on the OL and more raw talent there than people think. IMO we have more raw talent on the OL than we do at WR or RB. I think the best use of our resources would be to use some of the big FA dollars on vet OL that are familiar with zone blocking and then use the coaching and vets to help develop the young guys we have. I also think we should bring in some low priced vet RBs and at least one vet WR.

That being said, I would still consider a guy like Linderbaum if he made it to our pick. I have him, Lloyd, Dean and a couple of WRs as potentially the BPAs late in the first depending on how the draft breaks. I'd probably be happy with any of those. If none of those guys make it there than I would even consider a RB there even though it wouldn't be my preference. I think that Miami's refusal (or more specifically, Flores' refusal) to consider a RB early in some very good RB classes hurt us. There were credible reports that Studdsville was banging the table for Jonathan Taylor, but was over ruled by Flores (that pick became Iggy at Flores' behest). I don't see this RB class as great, but I could see them maybe taking a RB earlier than usual to try and correct the adamant stance by Flores. I think that would be an over-correction. I have a few RBs that I'd prefer later in the draft. But if you don't have better options at 29 or a trade down, and my BPA is a RB, I'd take him over a player I'd have rated lower at another position.

Penning is a true ORT that can protect the blindside since we insist on rolling with Tua. He has I believe 83" wingspan and a whole lot of nasty in him....

We will see more as his film get broken down a bit more...

Todd McShay, ESPN — T Trevor Penning, Northern Iowa

The Dolphins' offensive line is a mess, but it's not for a lack of trying. They've used four picks on Day 1 or Day 2 of the draft on the position group over the past three years. Not much has panned out, though, as Miami's 46.6% pass block win rate was last in the NFL in 2021. And only the Texans average fewer yards per carry on the ground than the Dolphins' 3.6. Penning is a mauler with a lot of upside. He pushes defenders off the ball and moves pretty well for a 6-foot-7, 321-pounder. With tight end Mike Gesicki off to free agency, this is another team that could use Colorado State's Trey McBride. But I just can't imagine Miami focusing anywhere but offensive line. Things could change once free agency sorts itself out, but GM Chris Grier has to find a way to keep oft-injured quarterback Tua Tagovailoa upright.
