I’m adamant about picking either Iowa’s Brandon Scherff or LSU’s La’el Collins in the first round, but despite that, I’m going with wide receiver as the top priority.
It’s just an easier priority to fill for a variety of reasons.
A miracle could happen that allows the Miami Dolphins to take Alabama’s Amari Cooper or West Virginia’s Kevin White at No. 14. If either is available there, the Dolphins should pick one and go on their way.
If Louisville’s DeVante Parker (pictured above) is available at No. 14 after the other two receivers have been picked, don’t ask any questions; pick him.
If he’s gone, and offensive linemen Scherff and Collins are gone too, the Dolphins should trade down, for there will be good receivers available late in Round 1 (UCF’s Breshad Perriman, Arizona State’s Jaelen Strong or Missouri’s Dorial Green-Beckham) or in Round 2 (USC’s Nelson Agholor, Ohio State’s Devin Smith, Michigan’s Devin Funchess or again, possibly Green-Beckham).
Either way, this position must be filled in either Round 1 or Round 2. Miami has a few good receivers but needs that alpha dog. The first two rounds are filled with possible alpha dogs, which is why wide receiver is Miami’s biggest priority, even if it doesn’t necessarily need to be addressed at No. 14 overall.
