The Dolphins have 4 picks in rounds 5-7, so, barring any trades, this is where we will fill out the team. I think there are some players who could contribute this season, so let's figure out who they are.

Round 5 - Pick 158

Theo Johnson - TE - Penn St. - Johnson is a great in-line tight end option who will be a plus blocker out of the gate with the athleticism to develop into something more.

Caedan Wallace - T - Penn St. - Wallace is very athletic with great size and would make a great swing tackle with his zone-blocking ability. He could also bump into guard, so the versatility is a plus.

Malik Mustapha - S - Wake Forest - Incredibly underrated prospect in this class. Would be a great replacement for Brandon Jones with his downhill blitzing and tackling ability. He will also be a plus special teamer.

Round 5 Continued:

Jaheim Bell - TE - Florida State - Cool gadget player to add to McDaniel's offense. He is a really good athlete and great with the ball in his hands. Line him up at H-Back or a big slot. Could see the field this year.

Javon Foster - T - Mizzou - Terrific zone-blocking tackle with good size and middle-of-the-road athleticism. Could be a nice swing tackle.

Beaux Limmer - C - Arkansas - 3-year starter in the SEC, good zone-blocking ability, and solid size make Limmer a good pick-up in the later rounds

Next: Round 6

Round 6 - Pick 184 and 198

Grayson Murphy - Edge - UCLA - Solid pass rush guy and really nice depth peice out on the edge.

Justin Eboigbe - DL - Alabama - Physically large and strong, Eboigbe has the chance to see meaningful snaps as a run defender, but will likely never develop good pass rush tools.

Trey Taylor - S - Air Force - Athletic, solid coverage safety but probably better in or around the box. Solid Brandon Jones replacement if Mustapha is off the board.

McKinnley Jackson - IDL - Texas A&M - Really quick first step with short arms, but solid burst. He may struggle in the pass rush, but his quickness may make him a solid option on early downs.

Isaac Guerendo - RB - Louisville - It's always nice to have a backup plan if something happens to Mostert. Guerendo has good size and had an RAS of 9.98 after an incredible combine. If he's around in round 6, I love this pick.

Jace McClellan - RB - Alabama - This is just a steady solid back. He isn't going to blow you away with speed or strength, but he has good vision, decent burst, and not too much tread on the tires coming out.

Next: Round 7

Round 7 - Pick 241

Will Reichard - K - Alabama - I know Jason Sanders was better last season (mostly) but why not bring in the all-time NCAA scoring leader to compete in camp?

Eyabi Okie-Anoma - Edge - Charlotte - Former 5-star recruit who admittedly dealt with immaturity issues and was dismissed from Alabama and Houston. He has great size and athleticism and could end up being a good rotational pass rusher if he keeps his head on straight.

Dylan McMahon - C/G - NC State - Solid backup guard/center from a zone-blocking scheme with good size.

Marcus Harris - IDL - Auburn - Love this guy in round 7 due to his ability against the run. He could be a solid rotational early-down lineman who could be had super late in the draft.

Frank Crum - OL - Wyoming - He never graded out great, he has short arms, and he was not dominant at Wyoming. Are you sold? No? Well, he has an RAS score of 9.95 out of 10 and an extremely impressive Combine performance. Fun guy to stash and develop.

Taulia Tagovailoa - QB - Maryland - Calm down. It's fun. Remember fun? It's just fun.
