With free agency set to begin next Tuesday and a few of the free agent dominoes already having fallen, we take a quick look at how the first round of the draft could shake up before teams start to address their biggest needs in free agency. We will follow with more mock ups as the free agent pieces fall and adjust each teams draft boards leading up to the draft. (more…)
The height of draft season is just around the corner, with players working out to prepare for their pro days and the NFL Scouting Combine. A lot will change in the coming weeks as NFL teams’ needs begin to change around free agency, but it’s worth predicting how things might turn out.
For now, there’s a pretty heavy emphasis on defense in the first round of my latest mock draft, and three quarterbacks being selected. A lot of the talent in this draft is in the trenches, and that’s well-reflected here.
The Senior Bowl has come and gone along with all the juniors firmly announced for the 2013 NFL Draft, and the Combine is quickly approaching. Therefore, it’s time to take another look at the 2013 NFL Draft, especially who the Dolphins may take.
While a lot can (and will) change thanks to the NFL Combine and Free Agency, in this mock, we’ll see three top 10 quarterbacks, six Top 20 offensive linemen, two tight ends, and three non-BCS prospects in the first round of this mock draft. (more…)
Luke Joeckel should be the first pick in the draft
With the Senior Bowl behind us, we can start adjusting evaluations and rankings a little based off what we learned from that week. Personally, I don’t put too much stock into the Senior Bowl, but there are definitely a few things to take away from practice performances and weigh-in results.
Combine Senior Bowl updates with more in-depth player evaluations from the past few weeks, and it’s time to delve into some mock drafting.

After a busy and work-filled Senior Bowl (and Shrine Game) travels for myself, it’s time to re-visit what the Dolphins may do after looking over the top senior prospects as well as evaluating the juniors that have declared.
With free agency still to come, I’d speculate that they don’t focus on getting more than one “non-star” receiver, and primarily look to add depth without spending too much in the market. Also, I’d assume they re-sign Jake Long or sign Andre Smith in free agency to play right tackle. (more…)
