Miami Dolphins fill needs with playmakers in this latest Mock Draft

While some are seeking some defensive back help at Safety and some are looking for Tight End. The Miami Dolphins brass looks to bring even more depth to the offensive line.


Round 7- Pick 239th OG Kyle Hergel, Senior Boston College

Hergel is a tough-nosed versatile offensive line guard. With the ability to play anywhere on the offensive line Hergel has the much-needed depth that the Miami Dolphins need. He shows excellent technique with hand placement, and toughness to drive away stronger defenders. He has a decent ability to get outside the pocket to make blocks for screens and pulls for the running back. 41 of 43 starts in his college career.

Lastly, the Miami Dolphins have spent some time with Hergel during the year and throughout the all-star game process. This would ideally finish the depth needed on the OL to help much-needed depth and upside.

Undrafted rookies and tryouts are always great to find gems in the rough. The Miami Dolphins brass has been great at finding these over the years. Here are some of my candidates through scouting and conversation with all-star game directors and scouts throughout the league.
