From DE (Langford and Merling) to WR (turner and hartline) to CB (Davis and Smith)
One thing has become apparent, this regime feels strongly in the theory of doubling up at positions of need. 3 times in 2 years, its pretty likely it'll happen again this year as well. Now, im wondering which scenario youd like best for doubling up in the 1st and 2nd rounds:
1st sceanrio (doubling up in the secondary (again))
Trade down to 14 (the seahawks will be interested in trading up for Spiller or jumping ahead of SF for one of the OT's) Pick up their 3rd rounder and Select Earl thomas, FS with the 14th pick. Then with our second rounder, select Taylor Mayes, SS at 43 to cement our secondary for the next decade, young but athletic, strong, and fast. You have Smith and Thomas the ball hawks with Davis and Mayes imposing themselves and being physical.
2nd scenario (doubling up at OLB)
With the 12th overall pick, the dolphins select Derrick Morgan, SOLB. He meets all physical requirements and passes the eye test. he is great against the run and has a solid pass rush. Then with the 43 pick in the draft, the dolphins select Jerry Hughes, WOLB. Can Wake cover? is he a 3 down LBer or a 3rd down specialist? Hughes falls because of how many LBers there are in this draft, he slips through because of Graham, Morgan, Weatherspoon, and Kindle.
3rd scenario (doubling up on offense)
This isnt quite doubling up but essentially it is because of how unexpected it is we go offense. We trade Ronnie for a mid second rounder and draft CJ spiller with our first pick and Demaryius Thomas at 43, (obviously the rest of the draft would be for defense)
EDIT- Which scenario do you like best? Add your own but dont make it too unrealistic!
Personally i would like to double on Safety and give Mayes a half a year to learn under the 32 (i think) year old Bell. Our secondary would be scary and we can still adress the front 7 quite easily.
My mock using that scenario: (trade Smiley for a 5th)
1st- Earl thomas, FS
2nd- Taylor Mayes, SS
3rd- Jason Worlids, SOLB
3rd- Thad Gibson, OLB
4th- Joseph Linval, NT
5th- Mike Williams, WR
