However, with roughly 36 hours until the beginning of round one, that leaves just enough time for the experts to publish their final predictions for how the selection process is going to play out.

On Wednesday morning, Peter Schrager of ESPN published his final mock draft of the year — and he has the Dolphins selecting two very talented players with questionable health concerns. 11. Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami “ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Mauigoa has a herniated disk in his back, and teams will have to be comfortable with that.

I still think he’s a high pick. Mauigoa is an immediate starter, and new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan needs to find a bunch of those. There are a lot of directions Miami could go at No.

11. Right tackle Austin Jackson missed significant time last season, and there are questions on the interior. I could absolutely see this new Dolphins regime shoring up the offensive line and building out from there.
