2017 NFL Mock Draft: New Regimes Create New Problems

Stanford. Solomon Thomas . 22. player. 59. The Miami Dolphins are flirting with a significant problem. Word is they’ve decided to cut ties with Mario Williams after a disappointing year. Throw in the fact Cameron Wake will turn 35 next season and this team could be severely limited in their pass rush unless they finish help in the draft. Either that or trust that Jason Jones and Andre Branch can pick up the slack next year. The odds are not in favor of that happening. <p>Few prospects announced their presence to the draft world better than Stanford defensive end Solomon Thomas. His performance against North Carolin in the Sun Bowl was nothing short of dominant as he harassed top QB prospect Mitch Trubisky all game long. He’s big, strong, shows a relentless motor and utilizes violent hands to beat blockers off the snap. He only had one sack in that game but he easily could’ve had 5-6 if not for Trubisky’s mobility.</p>. DE
