I wanted to get this in before the Senior Bowl, but before we get to the list, know that some of my favorite players are NOT included, because I view them as appropriately ranked. If you see someone not listed, feel free to ask if I think they're appropriately ranked or overrated.

I only included players that are tiers (or at least a tier) better than their current consensus ranking (site link below). So, if a guy is ranked 19th, but I think he should be 12th, he would not be included, because 11-20 is a tier. The number to the left of each player is his current consensus ranking.

21. Jalen Milroe
103. Jaxon Dart

74. TreVeyon Henderson

Can Membou play RG? I am leaning towards him or Donovan Jackson at 48.

Ricky White could be a steal if he lasts until 224.

Jaxon Dart at 98. It would be a luxury pick but he could be a steal. He probably gets taken much earlier due to teams being desperate for QB's.

Damien Martinez with one of our 5ths.
 
Great list and am definitely intrigued by Dart but haven't seen enough film yet, is he going to play in the Senior bowl?

How do you feel about Riley Leonard as a late round flyer? I think he could be similar to a Taysom Hill jack of all trades player, can bring him in for special packages and 3rd and 4th and short downs

Yeah, I'd project him to either Guard spot, but he has the size to play RG, and since he played all but 1 of his career snaps at RT. Oddly, he had 1 snap at LG in 2024.



Martinez is kind of similar to Brian Robinson - big RB with good balance and quickness for his size, and he might have a little more bounce than Robinson. Decent speed - not a plus but not a significant negative. But, like Robinson, Martinez grinds out tough yards, and I like his coordination. Had a couple drops, but he looks natural catching the ball.

Let me reframe the idea a little on Dart being a luxury pick. If you beleive you could develop him to be a quality starter in 3 years, would that be a luxury 3rd round pick?

We have Tua on the hook for at least 1 more year. Probably 2. Watching the playoffs yesterday finally made me a believer that you need a mobile QB in today's NFL. If you think you can turn a 3rd rounder into a QB plus starter, I'd do it over any other posistion. Sure he will need to sit for a bit but I think Tua gives us the luxury of trying to develop a young guy.
 
Milroe is listed as Day 1 prospect and he is under rated? Is there day 0 he move up to?
Dart is listed as day 2 and he is under rated? He should be day 1?
WTF!
 
I had never hear of Wyatt Milum before, that's a pretty impressive video.
I think the team should seriously look into Skattebo, and I wouldn't doubt Henderson is going to be Mcdaniel's radar in the middle rounds.

I go back and forth on Dart and Howard. Love Leonard as an athlete. You see all the throws on tape, but apparently he needs a lot of coaching on footwork. That's probably a good gamble 4th round or later.

I think I'd lean Dart over Howard, but like them both for Miami. Howard's receivers are often slowing a little on deep throws. I think his arm is adequate, but he probably works better in short, intermediate range.

Howard makes good reads and is a decent athlete, good size at 6-4 and almost 240.

Dart is very tough. I think his arm strength is better than Howard's, but he doesn't always seem to trust it. He' a good athlete, who doesn't go down easy. He'll likely have to curb that some in the NFL.

I would draft either in the 3rd.

i have been eyeing Jackson in R2 for a while now.

Quality IOL who played OK when they had to put him at LT.
