Notre Dame. Quenton Nelson. 11. player. 59. . Offensive Guard

The Miami Dolphins enter the offseason with a bunch of holes on their roster, as they are coming off a season that saw them miss the playoffs. While their record was nothing to write home about, there was a bright spot in Kenyon Drake, who showed he could be a feature back in this league. Miami also spent the entire season without starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who should be ready to go in 2018.

When it comes to the 2018 NFL Draft, this team needs to get better up front on both sides of the ball. Picking in the No. 11 spot, the Dolphins may decide to bolster their offensive line, as they appear to have found a gem in Drake. If they look to get better at guard, they should be able to nab Quenton Nelson with this pick, as he should be available outside the top-10.

Nelson teamed with Mike McGlinchey to give the Notre Dame Fighting Irish the best offensive line in college football this past season. He is an incredible athlete, and has the size and strength to be a Pro Bowl player at the next level. This Dolphins team is going to focus on running the ball next season, so bringing in a quality offensive guard makes sense with the eleventh overall pick.
