Thanks to the Houston Texan’s gross incompetence, the Miami Dolphins have turned Laremy Tunsil into the gift that keeps on giving. Much wheeling and dealing have already taken place with that early pick, and much speculation still surrounds what they will choose to do with it.

Will they land one of the transcendent pass-catchers in Chase or Pitts, solidify the offensive line with Sewell, or plunder more picks by taking advantage of a team wanting to trade up? It’s anyone’s guess. We saw how secretive the organization was with taking Tua Tagovailoa last year.

This draft class is stocked with A to B+ prospects at multiple positions that are emphasized in today’s NFL…namely QB, WR, OT, CB, and edge rusher.

Does Chris Grier go for one of the second-tier pass catchers, or a sure-fire player at an unsexy position?

There are plenty of players who wouldn’t be a reach at this spot, yet still, align with team needs. Here are 3 guys that would have a day-one impact on the field.
