[h=1]Miami Dolphins[/h]
Needs Analysis: The Dolphins signed David Garrard, hoping he is healthy enough to compete with Matt Moore for a starting spot. New offensive coordinator Mike Sherman might still try to convince general manager Jeff Ireland to select his quarterback the past two years at Texas A&M, Ryan Tannehill. The trade of Brandon Marshall to Chicago for two third-round picks makes finding a playmaking receiver a major need. The team could bring back veteran Marc Colombo for a second season at right tackle, but might choose to draft a young replacement instead. The team's reported change to a 4-3 scheme for the 2012 season creates a need for some true hand-down defensive ends to play across from (and spell) Cameron Wake. New defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle might also want linebackers to fit his scheme. Releasing leading tackler Yeremiah Bell either opens up a safety spot for veteran free-agent acquisition Richard Marshall or leads the team to address the position in the draft
| PICK | PLAYER | POS | HT | WT | COLLEGE | GRADE
| WATCH | |
| Round 1, Pick 8 (8) | Ryan Tannehill | QB | 6'4" | 221 | Texas A&M | 87.0 | ||
| Pick Analysis: Mayock's take: "I have him rated as the 19th best player in the draft, which tells you I don't think he's ready to be a heavy contributor this year. I watched every throw he made on tape this year. All the out-breaking routes are phenomenal. Where he gets in trouble are the in-breaking routes where he stares the receiver down, pats the ball and throws interceptions." | ||||||||
| Round 2, Pick 10 (42) | Jonathan Martin | OT | 6'5" | 312 | Stanford | 87.0 | ||
| Pick Analysis: Mayock's take: "First-round talent right here, tremendous arm length. I call him a little bit of a finesse player. Doesn't mean he's not tough, but he's so good with his feet and understands angles. I believe the Dolphins just got themselves a starter on either the right or left side." | ||||||||
| Round 3, Pick 9 (72) | Olivier Vernon | DE | 6'2" | 261 | Miami | 82.0 | ||
| Pick Analysis: Mayock's take: "Out of all the underclassmen that came out this year, and I didn't think many should have, Vernon is one that I banged the table for. He's a solid 4-3 defensive end who can get edge pressure on the quarterback." | ||||||||
| Round 3, Pick 15 (78) (From Chargers) | Michael Egnew | TE | 6'5" | 252 | Missouri | 71.5 | ||
| Pick Analysis: Mayock's take: "When you think Missouri tight end, you think freakish athlete who doesn't block. Well, this is true again. He can really run, and he's a natural hands catcher." | ||||||||
| Round 4, Pick 2 (97) (From Colts through 49ers) | Lamar Miller | RB | 5'11" | 212 | Miami | 84.5 | ||
| Pick Analysis: Bucky Brooks' take: Miller gives the Dolphins a home run threat in the backfield. He is explosive with the ball in his hands and displays outstanding burst when running on the perimeter. Miller needs to show better toughness in pass protection, but could develop into a dynamic weapon as a situational playmaker. | ||||||||
| Round 5, Pick 20 (155) (From Titans) | Josh Kaddu | LB | 6'3" | 239 | Oregon | 68.5 | ||
| Pick Analysis: Bucky Brooks' take: Kaddu is an athletic linebacker with speed and quickness. He excels in a "run and chase" scheme that allows him to use his speed to harass running backs at the second level. | ||||||||
| Round 6, Pick 13 (183) (From Chargers) | B.J. Cunningham | WR | 6'1" | 211 | Michigan St. | 73.5 | ||
| Pick Analysis: Bucky Brooks' take: Cunningham is an underrated pass catcher with skills. He is a good route runner with savvy and quickness and could make immediate contributions as a third or fourth receiver. | ||||||||
| Round 7, Pick 8 (215) | Kheeston Randall | DT | 6'4" | 293 | Texas | 64.5 | ||
| Pick Analysis: Bucky Brooks' take: Randall was once touted as an early-round prospect, but a disappointing final season leveled his draft stock. However, he possesses the size and strength to emerge as a quality interior defender as a pro. | ||||||||
| Round 7, Pick 20 (227) (From Titans) | Rishard Matthews | WR | 6'0" | 212 | Nevada | 73.5 | ||
| Pick Analysis: Bucky Brooks' take: Matthews is a productive pass catcher with sneaky skills. He could outplay his draft status quickly in Miami. |
