59. . Safety. Florida State Seminoles. Derwin James. 8. player

The Miami Dolphins made an interesting move by dealing out star running back Jay Ajayi earlier this season. Yet, this team still has a burned out quarterback like Jay Cutler on the roster. Adding a permanent solution at quarterback is a big priority.

However, the Dolphins might go with Ryan Tannehill for another season. Even though Tannehill is injury prone, he is effective when healthy. He’s also much better than Cutler and at least gives the Dolphins a chance to make the playoffs.

If Florida State safety Derwin James gets to stay in Florida and play for the Dolphins, it would be an ideal scenario. He would replace Michael Thomas and get to play alongside Reshad Jones, who just got a five year contract extension.

James is one of the most talented defensive players in this class and should be a guaranteed top 10 pick. The Noles are struggling in the ACC this year. But, that is mainly due to the injury to sophomore quarterback Deondre Francois, not the defense.
