Offensive guard happens to be one of the Dolphins' top needs heading into the 2015 NFL draft, and it is possible that Marpet, a two-time Division III All-American, could immediate push Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner for the vacant starting spot at left and right guard.

Marpet, who has started 37 of the 43 games he's played at Hobart, has won over most draft analysts and scouts with his intelligence and athleticism. He's an ideal fit for zone blocking schemes like the one Miami runs. And some teams even project him as a center.
Marpet, who is 6-foot-4, 307 pounds, is projected as a talent who will be drafted between rounds two and four, which means the Dolphins would need to make him a priority target in the second or third day of the draft to land his services.

I like his guy for the running game, heck every GM like him too.
 
Rooting for this kid but I question if he has the base & strength to succeed in the NFL. He has very good movement skills, and an offense like Miami's or Philly's would fit him best.
 
I have him in my mock below....really like him, but I agree with Fisi, many GM's also like him.
 
Better than Thomas from day 1? Thats the question on any guard we draft imo
 
I like him but the jump in competition is too much to expect him to start year 1. Down the road, sure, but I doubt we draft him as he would be a lot like Billy Turner in that he just will not be ready as a rookie.

We need to focus more on plug and play guys, because by the time he develops we will get maybe 2 years out of him and then we will let him go in free agency. Unfortunately, that is what we do as a team.

I have never heard of any of the guys in your mock draft. Looks like a bunch of ireland acorns. No thanks.

Idk how you never heard of Eric Kendricks, you must not be on here very often. That corner from Oregon is a stud. He did get hurt though. We'll see how he bounces back from the injury.
