The Dolphins are scheduled to pick 55th in the second round
The Miami Dolphins head into Thursday's NFL draft with the 21st selection in Round 1 and then 55th overall in Round 2.
Haynes may not have the biggest size and frame, but he is an intelligent and technically sound player. At the NFL Combine in March, he was in the 90% percentile of offensive linemen running the 40-yard dash. He was clocked at 5.03 seconds, a top-10 time among all offensive linemen. Based on this analytics tool, other names projected to be available in this area within the offensive line would be Kansas State’s Cooper Beebe and West Virginia’s Zach Frazier. Beebe is a guard prospect who is a force as a pass protector. Perhaps the class's best interior lineman in pass pro, Beebe is nearly as skilled in run blocking as well.
Staying on the offensive line, but with pure tackles, following the top-tier of this year’s class, plenty of value remains in Round 2. A prospect to keep an eye on is BYU’s Kingsley Suamataia. Suamataia could be appealing to the Dolphins because of his quality and fundamentally sound pass protection to go with his knowledge of RPO and zone-based blocking schemes. He has the ability to play either right or left tackle and could be a viable emergency play as a rookie for Armstead, and a fixture at tackle for Miami when the veteran hangs up the cleats. Which could be next season.
Murphy is projected as a top 20 pick and potentially within the first 15. His chances of being available for Miami even at 21st is slim at 30%. Newton’s chances at 21 for Miami are very much viable at 90%. Following this pair, there is a slight drop-off in the next tier.
