Last but not least the Miami Dolphins should consider some undrafted free agents to challenge starters and players who hold value on the depth chart. I think each year the Dolphins do a great job finding a few of these players who stick to the final roster. Here is a list of guys I think the Miami Dolphins should target.

Millard Bradford- S TCU- The Miami Dolphins have spent time with the TCU safety who has great range and tools to make an impact at the next level.

Marcus Harris- Auburn DT- Run stopping is outstanding for Harris and might be a late-round pick who excels in short-area quickness but needs to develop more as a pass rusher.

Mason Pline- Furman TE- Big Body at 6'6 with soft hands and great upside. Uses sizes to create mismatches.

Jake Kradel- OC Pittsburgh- Good blocking center with traits you want but needs more refining to be an effective player.

Collin Schlee- QB UCLA- Elite traits as a rushing QB, holds value as a scrambling QB, and has a quick release.

Akeem Dent- S Florida State- Mocked earlier this year by me, Dent holds value as a core special teams player with NFL bloodlines.

Spencer Rolland OT North Carolina- Once considered a top 150 prospect has not shown a good offseason but does have the upside to provide value on the OL as a key depth piece.


Here are some gems in the rough from small schools that have NFL potential and have shown the traits to be in the NFL.

Colton Rossi FB -Slippery Rock: The Former OL has nice quickness and great run blocking, moves well hitting blocks in space and outside the pocket.
Mike Hohensee QB- Northwest Missouri State- Has true duel threat ability in which he can make the throws on the move and create plays with his legs.
Drew Dixon- WR Limestone College- Big catch radius and hard to big down, toughness in traffic that makes the big catches in big-time moments
Yemi Ward -WR St Ambrose University- Quick route runner who would excel in the McDaniel scheme. Good hands and a great work ethic.
Tahj Brighthaupt OT West Alabama- Big tackle at 6'8 who is outstanding 1v1 and can move outside the pocket to seal off the edge rusher.
Adrian Ealy- WR Lincoln (MO) University- Quick playmaker, who makes plays in space, and makes hard catches look easy.
