Tre'Davious White

Cornerback, LSU Tigers

2016 may have been a fluke for the Miami Dolphins. They did have a super soft schedule, but it’s hard to overlook the great coaching job that Adam Gase did in his first year with the AFC East team. Miami is totally capable of going 11-5 and getting that No. 5 seed in the AFC Playoffs. Playing in the same division as new England is brutal.

Overall, Miami should be in great shape on offense and in the pass rush. The linebacking corps is close to pathetic. This is not a great draft for linebackers, so it is in the best interest of the team to try to fix their other need in the first round at No. 22 by drafting a cornerback.

The right guy for Miami at No. 22 is LSU Tigers cornerback Tre’Davious White. LSU is an elite pro football factory in the secondary. Look for White to join his secondary teammate in safety Jamal Adams in the first round this spring.

White can play out on an island. He has great footwork, decent hands and an acute sense of an awareness. Don’t expect him to be a perennial Pro Bowler, but he can be a reliable starter at cornerback for the next several years in the NFL. That’s exactly what the Dolphins secondary needs.
