There are some years where there have been some obvious choices when the Miami Dolphins are on the clock. Ryan Tannehill and Mike Pouncey come to mind. Both of those were heavily connected with Miami prior to the draft and it was no surprise when they were picked. DaVante Parker was another player who was somewhat an obvious pick, although the speculation was that he would be gone before the Dolphins had a shot. Minnesota was a possibility.

This year, picking at #22, it's harder to predict who will be there. Essentially, Miami's obvious choice could be another teams' obvious choice as well. So that player could be gone.

That said, I keep coming back to Jarrad Davis. Davis makes so much sense on many levels. First, there is an obvious need at the linebacker position. With the best players on defense all veterans, getting a young player who can become the leader of the defense in a few years also makes sense.

Add in his talent and versatility and Davis just seems like the perfect way to go.
 
An Obvious Choice?!?

Knowing this board ... Of course there is.

It'll be whoever we don't take that ends up going at #23. :chuckle:
 
Around here draft picks are like working on someone's car or someone's house, no matter what you do, it's never good enough.
 
I think Reddick would be an obvious choice if he were to get that far. Outside of that I'm not sure. Everyone has their own player they'd prefer this year
 
If a top talent unexpectedly slips like Foster, Reddick or Barnett then I'd say any of those guys would be a "no brainer" selection.

That being said, with guys like those 3 likely gone I'd say one of the pass rushers are where we should definitely go. Willis, Harris, Charlton etc.

I wouldn't hate Lamp or Davis.
 
Reddick and Barnett have to be obvious picks. You don't even listen to trade offers if one of those guys are on the board. You run that card up to the commish and pop a few bottles, **** a few models.....allllllright.

With everyone else I think you at least have to consider your options. If those two are gone and Taco is on the board then I probably don't make a move, but if you think you can trade down and still get Willis then it depends on how close they are on your board. I like Davis in a trade down scenario as well, but not at 22. I think he can be had 5-10 picks later. And if he's gone at that point, then Watt or Bowser will probably be there.

I'm a big fan of Watt as well. Don't know enough about Bowser. Looking at who the Dolphins have had in for visits, I'd say the team is targeting a safety pretty early. Maybe not round one, but possibly round 2.

I still think Barnett goes top 15, but teams may panic on the quarterback front. It's possible that Barnett or Reddick fall right into Miami's lap.
 
I am not sure this would be my pick or not, but my gut, and official prediction, tells me it's going to be Malik McDowell (DT), if he is there. Lord help me!
 
I think it depends on how the draft falls. A couple years ago, it was obvious to me that we were taking James when it was clear Zack Martin was not going to fall to us. On the flip side, I thought Brady Quinn was the obvious choice and we took Ted Ginn so what do I know.
 
Got to think Barnett and Reddick will be gone 22. I don't think Taco gets to us but he would be my pick if he is there. I do think we could be choosing from Cunningham or Davis if we go LB or if we look at edge rusher we will have McKinney or Harris
If we go outside the box Peppers to match up with Jones or be slot corner and also be our punt returner. The elite athletes are Peppers and McKinney. Peppers is my choice if Barnett and Charlton are gone.
 
Not to me, this draft is stacked overall and strong at a number of our positions of need.

And there is always someone unexpected that falls. That could shake up the "obvious choice". Unless you're asking too guy in the draft overall, then by all accounts it is myles Garrett.

To me there will be a few players available at areas of need that all are top prospects in a deep draft. DE, LB, FS, G are all options that may have a big name available at 22.

If you are dialed in on only one player you are likely to be disappointed and that would stink w so many solid players that can help this team.

Two players that I think have been consistently mocked well ahead of 22 that may be a surprise to be available are Foster and Barnett . If either one of those guys drops and they go Lamp I wouldn't be real pleased lol but still think we would get a big time player at a position of need, ao that's why I think it's tough to say there is an obvious choice
