The Miami Dolphins have two third-round draft picks in 2023 because they traded DeVante Parker to the New England Patriots.

While I am not a fan of Alabama players I have to acknowledge that they know how to run a football and Miami needs to get better at the position. Mostert has been fine so far but Edmonds leaves a few questions. Beyond those two, it’s Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed.

The Dolphins need to get better production from the offensive line but having a very good running back behind the line will help as well.

Gibbs is a strong running back with quick feet who can hit holes without hesitation. He can break long runs. He is averaging 8.8 yards per carry so far in 2022.

Will Gibbs fall to the 3rd round? It would be hard to think that would happen but RBs are no longer coveted as much as they used to be and many teams are looking for them in later rounds. He is a strong candidate for the 2nd round but could drop to an early 3rd. With the Dolphins having two picks, one of them could be Gibbs if he falls.
