Dan Feeney

OG, Indiana

For most of the second half of the season, the Miami Dolphins were the hottest team in the AFC. They ran off nine wins in eight games, as they secured a playoff spot as a Wild Card. Many people expected them to finish at the bottom of the AFC East, but first-year head coach Adam Gase has really changed the culture in South Beach, and could be up for the NFL’s Head Coach of the Year.

Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has come under so much scrutiny during his time as the team’s signal-caller, but he was finally able to put together a nice season in 2016. However, his season ended early due to injury, and the team was forced to go with backup Matt Moore for the final few weeks and their Wild Card loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Miami needs to spend the offseason bolstering their offensive line, and picking up the best guard in this draft is the way to go.

Dan Feeney of the Indiana Hoosiers is a mountain of man, and possesses incredible strength. While Indiana is one of the lesser known Big Ten teams, Feeney made his presence known every week, and is going to be a great pass blocker at the next level. Miami could be a team on the rise, and adding Feeney would not only help protect Tannehill, but also make big holes for breakout running back Jay Ajayi.
