Dolphins go back to #8 for Ezekiel Elliot

How ironic would it be that after setting the NFL world ablaze with their decision to move back from the eighth pick to collect cornerback Byron Maxwell and linebacker Kiko Alonso. Now the wheel may be coming full circle. The Cleveland Browns are open for business at that slot, having acquired it when Philadelphia moved up to #2. With so much to rebuild on their roster, they need more picks.

Miami could oblige them as they continue a stubborn pursuit of finding help for their ground attack. The Dolphins lost Lamar Miller to free agency, leaving only the untried Jay Ajayi as their best option. Given his inexperience and injury history, that may not be a person they want to lean on, hence their interest in Ezekiel Elliott. The Ohio State back is the best in the draft and may not make it past Chicago at #11. So they would have to move up to get him.
