Adam Schefter has announced in his twitter account (@AdamSchefter) a list of players invited to NFL draft: Luke Joeckel, Geno Smith, EJ Manuel, Chance Warmack, Bjoern Werner, Jonathan Cooper, Sharrif Floyd, Lane Johnson, Ezekial Ansah, Kenny Vaccaro, DJ Fluker, Eric Fisher, Menelik Watson, Cordarrelle Patterson, Xavier Rhodes, Tavon Austin, Margus Hunt, Barkevious Mingo, Dee Milliner.
With Dolphins requiring to expose new jersey on national TV, there almost certainty Miami will be picking a guy within that list.
That said this is my analysis on each guy:
I've updated this post adjusting probabilities.

Fluker, T, Alabama; Luke Joeckel, T, Texas A&M; Lane Johnson, T, Oklahoma; Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon; Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama; E.J. Manuel, QB, Florida St.; Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama; Barkevoius Mingo, CB, LSU; Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee; Eric Reid, S, LSU; Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida St.; Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri; Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia; Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington; Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas; Chance Warmack, G, Alabama; Menelik Watson, T, Florida St.; Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida St.
With Dolphins requiring to expose new jersey on national TV, there almost certainty Miami will be picking a guy within that list.
That said this is my analysis on each guy:
Prospect name | Analysis | Probability |
Bjoern Werner | A defensive piece that makes sense as pass rusher. | 9.00% |
Lane Johnson | Several draft specialist have mocked him as top 10 pick, so Miami would have to trade up some spots to get him. | 8.50% |
Ezekial Ansah | His lack of experience could lead him to be available and he's a better option than Werner. | 8.00% |
Other | Thinking some BPA on the draft board could be out of the refered list, let's say Tyler Eifert or Star Lotulelei. | 8.00% |
Xavier Rhodes | I think this draft class is deep on DB talent. I gave him some probability because many persons are mocking him as BPA. | 7.00% |
Margus Hunt | I think this is another fine option for pass rush. | 7.00% |
Barkevious Mingo | A fine DE/OLB that would fit on our defensive rotation. | 7.00% |
Chance Warmack | A great value that would fortify our O-line but would no excite fan base. | 7.00% |
Desmond Trufant | I disagree about taking a DB here, there's gonna be similar players in next rounds. | 6.00% |
DJ Fluker | He's the 4th top tackle of the class, and could represent a decent way for filling a need. | 6.00% |
Jonathan Cooper | This could be safety net once Dolphins lost top O-liners. | 5.50% |
Kenny Vaccaro | A baller, but I don't see him as a true upgrade over our young safeties. | 5.00% |
Tavon Austin | Great talent, but a slot receiver should be a priority for lower rounds. | 4.00% |
Dee Milliner | A Utopian option. This is the only DB talent that would justify jumping up into top 6. | 3.00% |
Sheldon Richardson | Great DT, but he's out of my radar as he doesn't look like a NT to me. | 3.00% |
Cordarrelle Patterson | He's a sexy pick but with all free agency additions it looks like a wasted pick. | 2.00% |
Sharrif Floyd | I don't see Miami Dolphins trading up for him and only great fortune would place him available at 12th spot. | 2.00% |
Eric Fisher | For some analysts he's the best tackle and everybody is projecting him at top 5 spots. Like Joeckel he is a long shot. | 1.00% |
Luke Joeckel | Would require a huge effort to jump to 1st overall pick. Pretty unlikely. | 0.50% |
Menelik Watson | This British athlete would be so overdrafted at 12th spot. Only some unknown fact would lead Ireland to pick him. | 0.50% |
Eddie Lacy | It's clear Ireland and crew will add a RB within 2013 class. It's also clear that won't happen at 12th spot. | 0.00% |
EJ Manuel | I don't see Dolphins picking a QB on first round. | 0.00% |
Geno Smith | Like I said, no QB. And this guy is a poor man's version of Ryan Tannehill. NEXT! | 0.00% |
Total | 100.00% |
