Harold Landry

Edge, Boston College

The Miami Dolphins were a playoff team last season, and in Week 2 of this year, they looked like they might be heading back. However, they have looked awful the last two weeks, and cannot get anything going on offense. Head coach Adam Gase is a good one, and he should get his team to rebound, but losses to the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints could not have been predicted from this team.

With the way they look so far, they could be picking in the top-10 next year. Quarterback Jay Cutler looks like he should have stayed retired, and the pass rush is having trouble getting to the opposing quarterbacks. It is time to inject some good, young talent on the defense, and Harold Landry from Boston College is a good-looking edge rusher.

Landry stayed in college for one more season in 2017, as he was expected to be a first rounder last year. The move definitely is paying off, as he will be a top-10 pick next April. He wanted to work on a few parts of his game and figured he would do that at the collegiate level, and not in the NFL. When it comes time for him to lace up his cleats at the NFL level, he is certain to be a dominant player coming off the edge.
