Another week (plus a day because I did not have time yesterday to put together the post) has gone by, which means it is time to take another tour around the internet and see which college prospect the web as the Miami Dolphins selecting in the 2017 NFL Draft. The Dolphins mock draft database collects the first-round pick projections from all over the internet, listing each pick, then combining them all to determine who is the most popular pick for Miami.
Of course, we are just reaching February, so the Draft is still well over two months away, and there will be plenty of changes between now and the start of the selection process. Prospects will rise or fall on draft boards and team needs will adjust as free agency takes place. Mock Drafts published this early are better used as ways to get to know a possible pick, rather than believing that pick is sure to happen.
This week’s picks remain the same with Alabama tight end O.J. Howard and Vanderbilt linebacker Zach Cunningham tied with the most selections - though they did have their percentages come down a little. Michigan defensive end Taco Charlton and Alabama cornerback Marlon Humphrey continue to be tied for the third position in the database, while a newcomer jumps into the fifth position, UCLA defensive end Takkarist McKinley picks up seven percent of the selections this week after not being on the database a week ago.
McKinely is an interesting player to start showing up for the Dolphins, because he seems to project more as a 3-4 outside linebacker than a 4-3, hand in the dirt defensive end. Maybe he would be fine as a defensive end in Miami’s wide-nine scheme, but he does not seem to be the ideal fit at this point in the pre-draft process.
The mock draft database has expanded from 40 mock drafts last week to 43 projections this week. Last year, by the time the real Draft arrived, our database was over 100 selections listed, and we will likely get back to that again this year.
