59. . Safety. Miami Dolphins. Grant Delpit. 23. player

The Miami Dolphins currently hold three first round picks in 2020, and based on the teams they got the other two picks from, they should be picking up and down the first round. Of course, they will pick early due to their record, but the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans are fighting for playoff spots, so their selections could come in the mid-to-late first round spots.

Still, the franchise has an opportunity to bring in some elite talent next April, and could get some of the better players available at their positions. At safety, there may be no better pure talent than Grant Delpit from LSU, who has helped lead the Tigers to the No. 1 overall spot in the College Football Playoff rankings to date.

Miami has some good, young players on defense, and Brian Flores, their head coach, is an absolute genius. He would love none other than to grab an elite safety with one of the first round picks next April, molding him into a player like Devin McCourty, who led his defense when he was with the New England Patriots.

player. 60. . Offensive Lineman. Minnesota Vikings. Tyler Biadasz. 24

The Minnesota Vikings needed every bit of the second half in their win on Sunday, as they erased a 20-0 halftime lead en-route to beating the Denver Broncos at home. The Broncos had the game in the bag, but their defense failed to show up in the second half, as the Vikings scored every time they got the ball.

Minnesota has a good thing going right now, and could be a team that is built for the playoffs, thanks to their strong running game. In addition, the quarterback, Kirk Cousins, is taking care of the football, and utilizing his explosive playmakers like Stefon Diggs, and Adam Thielen when he is healthy enough to play.

Still, the Vikings offensive line worries me, and that is why I believe they should utilize their first round pick in 2020 to bolster the unit in front of Cousins and Dalvin Cook. Tyler Biadasz from Wisconsin can play center, or guard at the next level, and for a Vikings offensive line that needs depth everywhere, he would be a nice get this late in round one.
