Top options Miami Dolphins draft could go in the first two rounds
By Pablo Rosero
The Miami Dolphins have four picks in the first two rounds of the 2021 NFL draft and will have multiple great players to select from.
The first three picks of the 2021 NFL draft will seemingly all be quarterbacks as picks four and five are completely up in the air. As a result of the fourth pick being on the trade block to a quarterback-needy team, it could lead Miami to land one of the top skill players in the draft.
With Miami also owning an additional first-rounder and two second-rounders. The team will have the chance to add multiple rookies that would be expected to be day one contributors.
Round 1 Pick 6
Possible picks: Penei Sewell, Kyle Pitts, Ja’Marr Chase, Devonta Smith
The Miami Dolphins will look to improve their offense with this pick and will likely be able to choose between at least two of Penei Sewell, Kyle Pitts, Ja’Marr Chase, and Devonta Smith.
One of Sewell and Chase will likely be the call for the Bengals and Pitts seems to be trending towards being a Falcon if the team so chooses to stay at four. If Atlanta trades out Pitts should fall past fifth and right into Miami’s laps.
However, if the Bengals choose Sewell to protect Joe Burrow over Chase, then Miami would likely have a tougher choice.
Chase would give the Dolphins wideout core a much-needed upgrade as the best wideout in this class, and arguably the best in last year’s spectacular class. Pitts is the best tight end prospect we have seen in likely a decade and would bring an immediate boost as a pass catcher and blocker.
Sewell and Smith would also be great picks for the Dolphins. Sewell would instantly slot in at right tackle to protect Tua Tagovailoa’s blindside as the top offensive tackle. Smith would also immediately play a role as the team’s starting slot wideout.
Regardless the Dolphins will be able to land a top player and were able to do so while gaining an additional 2023 first-rounder and 2022 third-rounder.
