Plenty of mock drafts have the Miami Dolphins taking a running back. However, I’m not sure that Florida State’s Dalvin Cook (or any running back outside of Fournette) is worth a top-10 draft pick. Instead, the Dolphins could try and focus on other needs this early considering the fact that this is such a deep class at running back.
Cornerback is becoming a pretty big concern outside of Byron Maxwell and the unproven rookie Xavien Howard. The Dolphins could go ahead and go in-state to use their first-round pick on Florida corner Jalen Tabor.
If the Dolphins are looking for a potential shutdown corner, than Tabor is their guy. He has all the tools (size, speed, ball skills) to be a Pro Bowl player at the position. He’s still a shy tackler that needs to work on being more aggressive in the running game, but he looks like someone worth a top-10 selection.
As long as Tom Brady is in their division, the Dolphins are going to need secondary help, and Tabor could be the answer to their defensive woes.
