There likely won't be a player that falls to #14 who is truly worthy of a top 15 selection. If you take away Quarterbacks these are the only players I feel are worthy of a first round pick:
Leonard Williams DT USC
Amari Cooper WR Alabama
Trae Waynes CB Michigan State
Vic Beasley DE Clemson
Melvin Gordon RB Wisconsin
Kevin White WR West Virginia
Randy Gregory OLB Nebraska
Todd Gurley RB Georgia
DeVante Parker WR Louisville
Dante Fowler DE Florida
Danny Shelton NT Washington
Landon Collins SS Alabama
Brandon Scherff OG Iowa
Of that list, I think Gregory, Gurley, Shelton, and Collins have a fair chance of being there at #14.
1. I'm not going to call him Dion Jordan because he's a better football player, but the same issues remain with Gregory
2. Gurley is coming off an ACL and Miller is pretty good
3. The Dolphins got rid of Solia, so Shelton doesn't fit. There's two ways to beat a double team, with quickness or strength. Miami prefers quickness inside
So that pretty much leaves Miami with Landon Collins. RJ plays single high more than most realize, so that could work, but they re-signed Delmas.
If I'm Miami I would trade up for Cooper or move back to the bottom of the first/early 2nd and take whatever WR they like or Eric Kendricks.
*I also wanted to add that on MMQB they said the Seahawks only had 16 first round grades, and that was the reason they cited for trading for Jimmy Graham. I'd guess you can say Seattle is decent at drafting*
