I happen to think Collins has tremendous coverage skills.
Already people inside the Dolphins are comparing their situation to that of the Dallas Cowboys with Jason Garrett in terms of Joe Philbin's status as a head coach. Well, what happened to the Cowboys? They take Zack Martin in the 1st round, move him to guard, he becomes one of the best guards in the game, their ground game becomes dominant, they win 12 games and are now in the divisional round of the playoffs. Interior line play was a huge problem for the Dolphins in 2014. Rationalization will build for taking Brandon Scherff or La'el Collins and sliding them over to left guard.

Not sure Collins is a great foil for Jones though. You'd really want someone with better coverage skills than Collins to sit deep. It's a thin enough draft for coverage safeties, by the looks. Prewitt is someone worth looking at for that reason. He's a better complement to Jones.
Here watch the highlights of the Ole Miss game where he get's burnt twice for TD's there was a third time he got beat for a TD in that game but the TE drop it.

If that is the case I could see the Fins going with a Holiman in the second round. They won't like his tackling and he tends to loaf away from and trailing plays but his ball skills are top shelf. He's a taperoom junkie that lets that feed his excellent play read and recognition.
well you still got to match your existing personnel...brent grimes game is best suited for our current scheme as is will davis...jamar taylor could probably fair fine in a say press man or cover 2 scheme...waynes game is more press man...
minus taylor you'd pretty much be starting over for scheme fit at corner making a change
if we get a new dc maybe...there's nothing in the guard class that will warrant a top 15 pick...like nothing even close...only ones to consider would be college tackles to guard and i dont think this is a year you see miami pull a top pick guard or olineman anyways...at least right now
no college guard that projects in the pros as a guard should carry a top 20 grade
Brandon Scherff as a guard convert doesn't say top 15 pick to you? Zack Martin made the transition seamlessly on his way to being a 1st Team All-Pro.
college tackle to pro guards are the only guys i was saying validate a potential top 15 pick consideration in this class...although i dont know that sherrff is as athletic as zach martin was coming out...loved martin...and from what i have seen he played the best guard in football this season...
