26. Miami Dolphins (via MIA)

Florida State. Demarcus Walker . 26. player. 59. The front four was a big reason the Miami Dolphins were able to turn their season around in 2016 after an ugly 1-4 start. Spearheading things, to no surprise was defensive end Cameron Wake. He turns 35 this season and Mario Williams is expected to be cut. That puts the edge rush in a potentially compromising spot given its importance to the overall success of the team. They might be wise to bring in help early. <p>Demarcus Walker will be passed on by many due to being slightly undersized, but that didn’t seem to stop him from rampaging through countless offensive tackles in the ACC for 16 sacks. He’s a compact defensive end with more power than people realize. Combined with a relentless motor that goes for 60 minutes, it’s not hard to see why he’s so good at penetrating the opposing backfield. Florida-based fans will love keeping him in-state.</p>. DE
