Miami Dolphins full 2021 NFL mock draft

Round 2

The Dolphins have Miles Gaskin already in the locker room, but he’s not really consistent enough to be the team’s top running back option. He has good games here and there, but RB is clearly a need for this roster.

Those two second-round picks will really do well to address the position. There are two massive prospects that are being mocked some places at the end of the first round, but with teams there still dealing with major needs, Travis Etienne and Najee Harris could easily fall to the second round.

Etienne feels like a much better fit for the Dolphins. He’s the type of running back that would have gone in the top 10 in the early 2000s. 2020 was a strange year for Etienne, but it seemed like a lot of Clemson was just going through the motions and the offensive line was trying to replace four starters. Before that, he averaged 8.0 yards per carry and was a threat as a pass catcher. Miami will love to add him to an offense that needs more weapons.

The Dolphins passed on Sewell at the top of the draft, and he’s by far the best offensive tackle prospect here, but there is a lot of depth at the position in this year’s draft. Walker Little is a very, very good tackle prospect that could be available at 50. He stands at 6-foot-7 and 309 pounds. Little is built like a brick house and he’s ready to take on every big bad wolf coming off the edge.

Little came out of high school as one of the best recruits in the country. He was ranked as a top-three best high school player in the entire state of Texas. He started at Stanford right out of the gate. He became the team’s first freshman left tackle since 2000.

The Dolphins are getting someone who’s always exceeded expectations, has always started on the offensive line from day one in high school and college, and has the kind of size that most tackles have to grow in to. Little is ready to go, and he might be one of the steals of the second round.
