So every year I make 2 separate versions of my 2 round mock draft. One on April 1st and one the week of the draft. I won't make you scroll through the entire draft, however here is everything Dolphins related.
**TRADE** Miami trades the 5th, 56th, 173rd, and a 2021 3rd round pick to the Lions for the 3rd and 182nd pick
3. Miami (from Detroit)– Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
The Dolphins knew at some point they would have to make this move. I think for anything slightly less, the Chargers would have moved up. I also think, however, that the Lions are in a spot where they’d rather go to 5 than 6. They value 1 of 2 players – Isaiah Simmons and Jeffrey Okudah. Going to 5 guarantees that no matter what happens they get 1 of their guys. For the Fins? They are officially on the clock to compete. Spending a lot of money and 12 more draft picks means that they will look to make serious noise over the next 2 years.
**Trade** San Fransisco trades pick 13 to Miami for picks 18, 70, 182
13. Miami (from San Fran via Indy) – Tristan Wirfs, OL, Iowa
Making their 2nd trade up of the day, Miami comes up to get their guy. I don’t see it likely that Miami drafts more than 10 players, especially with how they like to dip into UDFA. San Fran would like to add players to their roster on rookie contracts and the thought of getting 2 picks in the top 70 to this already stacked roster looks nice. This trade is easier after the top 2 WR’s go off the board. For the Dolphins they get the last of the elite lineman. Wirfs will plug right in at RT which just became that much more valuable with a lefty QB.
**TRADE** Miami trades the 26 pick to Las Vegas for the 34, 81
34. Miami (from Las Vegas via Indianapolis via Washington) – Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin
Miami gets a lead RB who will start in a tandem with Jordan Howard (and they will probably add a 3rd back on Day 3). After adding Tua and Wirfs, they can afford to take a flyer on a playmaker like Taylor.
39. Miami – Lloyd Cushenberry III, C, LSU
Keeping the trend of offense, Miami now adds Cushenberry to the trio of Tagovailoa, Wirfs, Taylor. Cushenberry will either start at Center or Guard with Ted Karras starting in the opposite spot. All of a sudden an offensive line of Davis – Flowers – Cushenberry – Karras – Wirfs isn’t half bad to start thinking about protecting a backfield of Tua Tagovailoa and Jonathan Taylor.
