The Miami Dolphins need a lot of help, and yes, they could go quarterback with the No. 3 pick in the draft. However, head coach Adam Gase appears ready to go with Ryan Tannehill for the foreseeable future, sticking with the 28-year old quarterback out of Texas A&M. If the team does pass up on an arm at three, look for them to scoop up another Texas A&M product in Myles Garrett.

Garrett has all the intangibles to be a dominant player right out of the gate in the NFL. He is a punishing tackler, who has the size and speed to get up and down the field. An intimidating presence since his first snap for the Aggies, Garrett would give the Dolphins another star defensive player alongside Ndamukong Suh. So far, Suh has not been worth the money for Miami.

Suh is still an force on the defensive side of the ball, and adding Garrett would only help take some of the pressure off of him on the inside. The Dolphins are looking for an identity under Gase, and play in a division where defense is key. Picks this high are expected to step in a perform right away, and Garrett would do just that for Miami. He is just too good of a player to pass up if he is still available at 3.
