Dolphin Mock Drafts Around the 'Net, 3/12 Edition

With the start of free agency last Friday at midnight, I chose to focus solely on all the news and rumors and put off this post for a week. But my inbox was surprisingly flooded with e-mails from people wondering where the updated mock draft post was.

Sorry to disappoint you all last week, but it's back today and will be back every Friday between now and the draft. I'm glad you all like this little feature. So let's get to it. The list of 44 mocks is below after the jump. And they should be a bit more interesting now that free agency has played out for a week and the big names that were available have found new homes, clarifying the needs of many teams throughout the league.

It should come as no surprise that many of these mocks are aboard the "Dan Williams to Miami bandwagon," especially following the Jason Ferguson suspension. Williams has been seeing draft stock rise in general, too, since his performance all week at the Senior Bowl.

It's also interesting to see that Dez Bryant is seeing an increase despite many "scouts" claiming his stock is actually falling. One of the mocks that had the Dolphins taking Bryant may have said it best, calling the Dolphins one of the organizations strong enough to help mold Dez.

It should come as no shock, though, that Rolando McClain is not being connected to the Dolphins as he once was. Just two weeks ago, 20% of these mocks had Miami taking McClain with the 12th overall pick. But the signing of Karlos Dansby and McClain's potentially falling stock has changed that.

But we're now in the weeks of the "Pro Day" workouts. So these mocks will be very fluid between now and April's draft - especially as the "misinformation" really starts to fly. So it'll be interesting to see how these mocks shift week in and week out.
