The Dolphins look to be starting a rebuild. Which prospect will they select in the first round of the NFL Draft to kick off that process?
It has been a whirlwind offseason for the Dolphins. They fired head coach Adam Gase and replaced him with former Patriots defensive coordinator Brian Flores. They traded starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill to the Tennessee Titans before adding veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. And they made several other roster additions and subtractions that have the upcoming season looking like a rebuild rather than a playoff chase.
That is what makes their 13th overall pick in this Thursday’s NFL Draft so interesting. From taking a quarterback of the future to building the offensive line to trading the pick away, everything appears to be on the table. With that in mind, and the draft rapidly approaching, let’s take a look at what the CBSSports.com team of experts think the Dolphins should do when commissioner Roger Goodell puts them on the clock Thursday night.
Ryan Wilson: Cody Ford, OL, Oklahoma- Ford played guard for most of his career at Oklahoma before being moved to right tackle for his senior season in 2018 and acquitting himself well. He has the athleticism and size (6’4″ 329) to play outside, but he’s likely a better fit and more instant impact player as a guard. Either would be a perfect fit for the Dolphins, who need help all over the line, outside of left tackle Laremy Tunsil.
Chris Trapasso: Trade w/ NYG, Andre Dillard, OL, Washington State- Trapasso has the ‘Fins moving back four spots and picking up an extra pick in the process.
