I like Christian Kirk, too, but I think you're too low on Courtland Sutton.

Agree with Thompson over Vea, and I have him closer to Wilkins than this, but I agree he belongs in the 1st.

Curious about your take on Dorance Armstrong. Always good to see you posting.

I haven't looked at Armstrong yet. He's one of those guys I'd rather wait for him to declare before I potentially waste my time.

What do you think of him?

Has the frame, agility, and burst - going by the eye test. I read that he was battling an injury for much of 2016, but he still put up a dominant season. He's my #1 DE/3-4 OLB at this point, but I'm expecting him to take another step forward. Harold Landry was incredible in 2016. There are some other interesting pass rushers - Gustin, Lawler, Ostman (wicked spin move), Key, Mata'afu, Lewis, Chubb, Haynes, Ejiofor, and Rolland-Jones - but I'm not as clear on them yet. Ferrell really came on at the end of 2016/the post season, and I can definitely see how he could end up as the #1 pass rusher - gorgeous frame, very disruptive.

I think Armstrong is worth watching just for fun. He's great on stunts, has incredible closing burst, bends the edge with ease. I do think he'll declare. The guy who recruited him also recruited Myles Garrett, and he said, He's just like Myles (going by memory, but the gist is correct). I'm not saying he's just like Myles, but he looks pretty freaky to me.

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

Hopefully Miami's picking low 20's. Looks like there's some talent at defensive tackle, which is an area I could see the Dolphins looking for early. I'm not sold on Jordan Phillips, but maybe he'll prove me wrong. Also, Suh isn't getting any younger. He's still at the top of his game, but you want to be a step ahead with veteran players.

I'd like to see the team continue to build the defense and add a guard/center type. A good safety would be nice as well.

Defensive tackle class looks excellent. Should be plenty of options in the 20s
