GreenCBOklahoma State6185Steve WirtelLSIowa State7227Tyre PhillipsGMi si sippi State7246Scott FrantzOTKansas State7251Josiah DeguaraTECincinnatiRound 1, Pick No. 5: Tua Tagovailoa, QB, AlabamaTagovailoa was one of the mostproductive quarterbacks in the country during his time at Alabama. The Crimson Tide signal-caller threw for 7,442 career pa sing yards, 87 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He didn't put up eye-popping rushing numbers (340 yards and nine touchdowns)but does havedual-threat capabilitycoming into the league.The big question markis his durability. Tagovailoa is coming off significant hip surgery, a procedure that ended his collegiate career. He has also undergone two ankle surgeries. It's certainly a risk for the Dolphins after they started Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen under Shaquem Griffin Jerseys center last season.Despite those concerns, Miami is certainly interested in Tagovailoa. , the Dolphins were scrambling to schedule a visit for Tagovailoa before the league banned visits to team facilities. The team was unable to get Tagovailoa to Miami and they haven't met with him since the NFL Scouting Combine.If Miami is to take the next step in what Lynn Bowden Jr. Jerseys is seemingly a wide-open AFC East, the Dolphins need a quarterback to take them into the future. While Tagovailoa brings risk to the team, the selection could yield a high reward if he is fully healthy.Round 1, Pick No.18: Xavier McKinney, S, AlabamaAnother Crimson Tide player joins the Dolphins in McKinney. Rated as the best safety in this year's cla s, McKinney anchored Alabama's defense with a team-high 95 tackles and four forced fumbles last season as he was named third-team All-American and first-team All-SEC.McKinney's athleticism and versatility enable the Roswell, Georgia native to play safety or be a slot cornerback. His burst allows him to come off the edge and blitz the quarterback while also allowing him to be a strong center fielder. McKinney had six sacks over two seasons as a starter.After the Dolphins shelled out money to cornerback Byron Jones this offseason, Miami has the two-highest paid cornerbacks in the league in Jones and Xavien Howard. With this pick, Flores can plug in an NFL-ready safety to form potentially one of the best secondaries in the league. Miami Dolphins Polos Xavier McKinney 81 yards TO. THE. ESPN College Football (@ESPNCFB) Round 1, Pick No. 26: De'Andre Swift, RB, GeorgiaAnother SEC selection comes in the form of Swift, who follows a long line of Bulldog tailbacks to be selected early in the NFL Draft. Swift posted two straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons in Athens. As a sophomore, he led the team in rushing (1,049 yards and 10 touchdowns) despite only starting five games. Last season, he became the best tailback in the SEC rushing for 1,218 yards and seven touchdowns earning first-team All-SEC honors.Swift, who has been compared to former Dolphin Frank Gore, is a speedy runner who excels on runs to the outside. He's projected as a three-down back displaying a good receiving skillset as an efficient route runner and soft hands. In college, Swift caught 73 pa ses totaling 666 receiving yards and five touchdowns.This selection wouldaddre s a significant weakne s for the Dolphins after they rushed for only 1, Justin Coleman Jerseys 156 yards as a team last season, worst in the NFL. Last year, the team's leading rusher was none other than Ryan Fitzpatrick, who rushed for 243 yards.D'Andre Swift...77 yards. TO. THE. HOUSE.

In 2018, he was the only player in FBSto have Miami Dolphins Accessories at least five rushing and receiving touchdowns. After a breakout sophomore season, Shenault Jr. did see his production drop and his durability will be a concern for teams looking to draft him. However, he could help all areas of an offense and pitch in on special teams.Round 2, Pick No. 56: Ezra Cleveland, OT, Boise StateThe fourth offensive selection of the first five picks for the Dolphins addre ses the offensive line.Cleveland was a reliable left tackle during his three seasons at Boise State. After earning All-MWC honorable mention his redshirt freshman season, Cleveland earned back-to-back first-team all-conference honors the next two seasons.The 6-foot-6, 311-pound tackle ran an impre sive 4.93 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, the third-fastest time among offensive linemen.
