2021 NFL Draft: Miami Dolphins 7-round mock

The Dolphins also have the luxury of possessing two second round picks. That gives them the flexibility to take a big swing at No. 36. Moore’s injury history at Purdue is chocked full of red flags, but his flashes of stardom during his healthy days for the Boilermakers make him an intriguing NFL prospect.

Lining Smith and DeVante Paker up on the outside and deploying Moore as the slot receiver would make the Dolphins really difficult to cover. He’s the type of player who is capable of taking short throws and turning them into long touchdowns with his ability to produce yards after the catch. The health risk here is sizable and real, but so is the potential for stardom. It’s a big risk for Miami, but making life easier for Tua is worth the gamble.

Miami nabs another Alabama prospect in this mock by going for Moses with the second selection on Day 2. He’s a more conventional linebacker when being compared to Collins. He’s still an exceptional athlete who can give the Dolphins’ coaching staff a player who can attack the line of scrimmage and hold up in coverage on the second level.

The only reason Moses has a chance to last this long is that he’s not a classic fit at either middle or strongside linebacker. Most teams want a slightly bigger option at those spots. That represents a scouting mistake. Moses’ college tape accurately shows him as a guy who really hunts out contact. It might take him a little while to adjust to the size and speed of the NFL, but he projects to be a guy who can blossom into a legitimate playmaker during his rookie season.
