Who’s rising, who’s falling one week into Miami Dolphins training camp — Miami Herald

Miami Dolphins training camp has been good for Noah Igbinoghene, Preston Williams and Solomon Kindley. Not so much for Nik Needham, Chester Rogers and Julien Davenport. Brian Flores has decisions to make.

Rising: Noah Igbinoghene


The third of the Dolphins’ three first-round picks hasn’t just been their most impressive rookie so far. He’s been their most impressive defensive player overall.


The athletic, feisty cornerback out of Auburn has matched up with the Dolphins’ top receivers — and more than held his own. He had an interception and multiple pass breakups Friday, and is absolutely in the mix to start on the boundary if Xavien Howard isn’t ready for Week, 1.

Rising: Solomon Kindley


This mountain of a man is not only a good bet to make the team, he’s put himself in position to play meaningful snaps on the offensive line once the season arrives.

It’s only a week, and already I’m loving this. Unlike past years, this isn’t a patch job, hoping for smoke and mirrors. This is a ground up operation, and even if they don’t go 19-0, the signs so far are all pointing in the right direction for a formidable team and coaching staff for years to come.

I'm definitely more excited about this draft class than I have been in a long time.

Still got two 1's and two 2's to get the draft started next year. PHINS UP!!!

"Not so much for Nik Needham."

That's weird. Everything I've read has him playing well, and the QBs rarely even throwing in his direction?

Beasley has a negative opinion on Needham and Wingfield has a positive opinion. I've not seen anything negative on Needham until the Beasley article today. Kind of weird that 2 reporters would have opposite views on a players performance.

That might be it.

I've probably been reading more of Wingy's coverage.

Same here. Needless to say, Beasley's report kind of took the hype out of my sails.

Knocked you right off your nice comfortable ride on the Needham hype train!

It's hard to get overly optimistic with Miami's drafts through the years, but this one has a chance to be special. We are hearing good things about all of the offensive linemen -- Jackson, Hunt and Kindley. All three have a chance to start right away. Igbinoghene, and Davis are making noise on defense. Perry has a chance. And, that's not even including Tua!

I am SUPER excited about this draft... then i have to kick a rock and remind myself that I shouldn't be excited about this draft until year 3.

Now if that longsnapper can just get off his ass...

But if they are playing great for the next three years, that wait becomes much more enjoyable!

Trading a fifth for Matt Breida!!
