Mel Kiper 3-round mock

[datruth55]

Miami Dolphins

Round 1 (14) WR Nelson Agholor, USC
Round 2 (47) CB/S Quinten Rollins, Miami (Ohio)

Analysis: Even with the addition of Kenny Stills, we still lack the type of player who can occasionally take the top off a defense anywhere on the receiving depth chart, because Still isn't that guy and, for as much as I love Jarvis Landry as a pass-catcher, he's just not that type of player. We simply need that element in the passing game, and I don't see Agholor as a reach at this point. He gets a little crowded out by some bigger names at WR in this class, but he's underrated and should be able to play right away. If San Francisco doesn't take Benardrick McKinney one slot ahead of us at No. 46 overall, he would have been my pick. Split between another linebacker option and a high-upside play at cornerback (or safety), I'm going to take Rollins, who made a remarkably seamless transition to football after playing four years of college basketball. There's star potential here, and I think he could help at either corner or safety.

Some players still on the board in the 1st after our pick:
Vic Beasley
Malcom Brown
Jaelen Strong (although I don't like him for us)
Landon Collins
Alvin Dupree
Kevin Johnson
La'el Collins
Melvin Gordon


Some players still on the board in the 2nd after our pick:
Denzel Perryman
Stephone Anthony
Tyler Lockett
Jordan Phillips
Eric Kendricks
Sammie Coates (don't like him for us either)
Maxx Williams
Carl Davis
Clive Walford
Ronald Darby

I would never select Agholor over Beasley.

I'd take Agholor...in the 3rd. Although I still think he's a slot WR and not what we need.

Isn't Agholor predicted to go late 2nd?

Mid-to-late 2nd round.

He's much more than a slot. His skillset is very comparable to Greg Jennings'.

No way. He's a mid to late first. I'll be surprised if he makes it past the first few picks in the second if he even falls that far.

Greg Jennings was a 3rd rounder. And I don't see that but to each his own.

You mean we could walk away with Beasley and Kendricks/Perryman?

Man I'd act a fool

Would love it if this happened.

 

[TheWalrus]

Greg Jennings was a 3rd rounder. And I don't see that but to each his own.

Jennings was the 52nd pick. That's a mid second.

But I don't get why it matters. Jamaal Charles -- everyone's comparison for Melvin Gordon -- went in the third round. Does that mean Melvin Gordon is a third rounder?

 

[Birdmond]

If the Dolphins are interested in Rollins they are the masters of deception. It would be a perfect situation though. He learns behind Delmas and then steps in about week 6 after, God forbid, Delmas gets hurt again. Agholor in a trade down would make me very happy.
