With the 56th pick, the Miami Dolphins select Curtis Weaver, DE, Boise State. Dolphins and new DC Josh Boyer want to mix a 4-3 and 3-4 scheme.

Weaver is an EDGE defender. Speed pass rusher, strong first step. High football IQ, he was very productive this season (19.5 TFL, 13.5 sacks). Also a good run stopper.

Can play OLB in a 3-4 scheme and drop into coverage but his weight (265 lbs for 6'3) could be a problem in the NFL. That's why he might be better as a pass rusher in a 4-3 scheme.

Doesn't generate turnovers (only 1 FF).


Rams (vote) are on the clock (since Bill O'Brien brillant trade...)
