Half 1 of this week’s SI Fan Nation All Dolphins pre-draft mailbag:

From Reza Hariri (@Therealrezpect1):

Hello Alain , who’s your alternative at 102? Do you see us buying and selling again for extra picks? Which participant in the event that they fell would you commerce up for in spherical 2 or 3? If Araiza is there in spherical 4, ought to Miami decide him (he’s a generational punter and an enormous weapon)?

Hey Reza, lot of attention-grabbing questions in right here, so I’ll assault them rapid-fire-style. First off, alternative at 102 clearly goes to depend upon who’s there. I’ll throw out Tariq Woolen, CB from UTSA, as a man I’d love. He’s uncooked, however 6-4 corners with blazing pace don’t come round every single day. I completely may see the Dolphins buying and selling for extra picks; in truth, I’d nearly count on it. Participant I’d commerce up in the event that they fell is type of a troublesome query as a result of I may very well be a clever man and say someone like Jameson Williams or Derek Stingley, who completely are sliding out of the primary spherical. So I’ll cross on that one. I completely wouldn’t spend on a fourth-round decide on Araiza as a result of punters are fickle and don’t at all times stay as much as the hype within the NFL (keep in mind Todd Sauerbrun). Additionally, Araiza shouldn’t be a superb pooch punter and it’s a undeniable fact that’s typically misplaced due to his booming punts.

How do you are feeling about Miami buying and selling for Deebo within the close to future?

Hey Legion, if by “how do you are feeling?,” you’re asking whether or not I’d be on board with that commerce, my reply is not any. The Dolphins have already got sacrificed sufficient draft capital and wage cap on the place and it could be overkill to me (moreover, there’s just one soccer to go round). As as to whether I believe it’ll occur, I’ll by no means say by no means with this staff, however I undoubtedly can be shocked.

From Steve , (@jujusimba7777):

Any trades Dolphins doing with gamers on draft day, you suppose ? Additionally, I’ve seen others say, much like me, that with McCourty, Coleman and couple different guys gone (and so they had precious snap counts) the Dolphins may very well be looking out for secondary assist; do you agree?

I’ve mentioned all alongside that cornerback could be very underrated as a necessity for the Dolphins as a result of some people see X along with his new contract, Byron Jones with the restructure and Needham re-signed, however there’s zero confirmed depth behind these three and also you want a number of corners within the NFL That’s a reality. So, sure, I may simply see the Dolphins going cornerback within the third or fourth spherical. I believe the Dolphins are in first rate form at security. And, no, it could not shock me to see a Dolphins participant being traded this weekend.

From Phinaholic (@dana_buice):

I imagine the Dolphins have addressed a number of their wants this low season. Nonetheless, MLB, Backup heart and probably a RT if AJ or Eichenberg don’t carry out properly early in camp are the Dolphins’ solely weaknesses. What are the Dolphins’ 3 greatest wants proper now?

For me, it’s cornerback from a depth standpoint, heart from a depth and aggressive standpoint (be nice to land a starting-caliber heart within the third spherical), and a giant run-stuffing defensive lineman.

From David Nastali (@DNastali):

Who else will probably be league Professional Bowl receivers with DVP?

Hey David, you’re having a tough time letting this go along with DVP, aren’t you (as a result of I’m 99.9 p.c you’re being sarcastic once more and/or trolling)? I’m at all times questioning whether or not DeVante did one thing to you in some unspecified time in the future, whether or not it’s price you a fantasy championship or one thing. I simply don’t get the necessity to dump on the man at each flip. No, he didn’t stay as much as his draft standing, but it surely’s not like he was a whole stiff, both.

From Dan Giunta (@Dan_B_Phin_Phan):

Who was higher extensive receiver: Chris Chambers or Jarvis Landry?

Hey Dan, that’s a really attention-grabbing query, and I’ll reply this beginning with my deep respect for Chris Chambers as a man and a receiver and an amazing athlete. However Jarvis Landry is the clear alternative for me right here. Due to his mixture of fingers and toughness, Landry was an absolute stud for the Dolphins and possibly one of the best slot receiver the staff has ever had.

From Scott Eckenrode (@snake21104):

Who would you say is the largest hitter on protection?

Hey Scott, my preliminary response is to say Elandon Roberts and as I give it a second to consider it, yeah, it’s Roberts. In truth, I’m undecided there’s anyone else I may make a case for out of doors of him.
