I heard Kiper this morning on his weekly Sirius show and he indicated the Dolphins really want E. Elliot. If the Cowboys pass on him at 4, they may try to trade up with Jax to get him. If they get offered enough like an extra 2nd this year plus either an extra 3rd this year or an extra 2nd rounder next year, I could see Caldwell taking this and then taking either Shaq Lawson, Floyd or Hargreaves with the Dolphins 1st round pick (mid-teens). This would enable them to address all positions of major need in the top 3 rounds (pass rusher, linebacker and interior O. Line). If this opportunity is available, would it be worth passing on Jack, Ramsay, Bosa, Buckner and Tunsil since at least 3 of these guys would be there at 5 and the only one who might be there when the Jags pick is Jack if everyone gets scared away by his injury.

 

In my opinion, this would really be a tough choice, but if they love Lawson, Floyd and Hargreaves I would do it. If the first 3 rounds looked like this:

 

1. Lawson

2. Whitehair/Kelly and Burns/Alexander/Apple/Fuller

3. Correa/J. Jenkins

 

They have addressed LEO, OTTO, cornerback and O. Line with quality at each position and they get an extra 2nd next year as a bonus. I would especially hate to pass on Ramsay, but I believe it would be worth it. Do you agree?
