Miami Dolphins seven round mock draft

The NFL Draft is still a few months away but that doesn’t mean we can’t look at potential draft picks for the Miami Dolphins. This is after all “mock-draft” season.

After the Super Bowl, the offseason officially starts, and that to many fans is the start of the soap opera aspects of the NFL. Rumors, lies, backstabbing, false media reports, interviews with ex-girl friends all seem to surface during this duration. It’s basically a long episode of Melrose Place.

Back to the Dolphins, mock season starts, so let’s break down how I see this shaking out right now:

1st round – 11th overall – Tremaine Edmunds LB – Virginia Tech

There has been a lot of chatter about Roquan Smith and the Dolphins, but based on the best player on the board, I look no further than Tremaine Edmunds. Edmunds reminds me of Bryan Cox. Crazy instinctive linebacker that loves and knows how to blitz. The biggest need that Gase stated was they need a player than can cover Gronk – Edmunds was one of the best covering linebacker in this draft class. Drafting Edmunds and pairing him with McMillan you no longer have to worry about your linebacker corps for the next 4 years.

Special note – Derwin Jones was my early favorite for the Dolphins to select. I have a serious man crush on this kid, he looks like the second coming of Sean Taylor. Fierce competitor that loves contact and has the make up speed that can cover all aspects of the field. If the Dolphins didn’t sign TJ and RJ to contract extensions last year, Jones would have been my 1st pick.
