Miami Dolphins get a big threat WR after NFL Combine shakes up this mock draft
By Gaston Rubio
The Miami Dolphins get a franchise wideout in this new mock draft at 21.
17. Jacksonville Jaguars, Nate Wiggins CB Clemson
If not for Xavier Worthy, Nate Wiggins would have taken the fastest man in the draft award. Jacksonville looks to get back in the playoffs, selecting Nate Wiggins will help their defense get them there.
18. Cincinnati Bengals, Troy Fautanu OT Washington
Troy Fautanu took advantage of injuries to Amarius Mims and Olumuyiwa Fashanu and rose up the draft board. Cincinnati looks to protect Joe Burrow and drafts him here at 18.
19. Los Angeles Rams, Byron Murphy DT Texas
The Rams give Aaron Donald a running mate by adding Byron Murphy to the middle of their defense.
20. Pittsburgh Steelers, Jackson Powers-Johnson G/C Oregon
Pittsburgh looks to continue their physical style of play. Jackson Powers-Johnson will bring that physicality.
21. Miami Dolphins, Brian Thomas Jr WR LSU
The Dolphins get a franchise wide receiver in Brian Thomas Jr. The receiver from LSU posted a 4.33 40-yard dash, not as fast as Xavier Worthy, but at 6'3 203 pounds Brian Thomas is the big target receiver Miami is missing.
22. Philadelphia Eagles, Cooper DeJean CB Iowa
With Darius Slay turning 33 in January of 2024, the Eagles look to get younger in the secondary. DeJean is a dynamic play-maker who can play defense and special teams.
23. Houston Texans, Jer'Zhan Newton DT Illinois
Houston looks to turn up the pressure on the rest of their division rivals as they add Newton to their defensive line.
24. Dallas Cowboys, Tyler Guyton OT Oklahoma
Tyler Guyton rises up the draft board as Amarius Mims gets hurt in the combine.
