Miami Dolphins seven-round 2020 NFL mock draft: Tua and more
By Evan Bachman
Clemson. Travis Etienne. 2. player. 59. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. RB
The Kenyan Drake trade isn’t looking too good now. Drake was part of a fire sale, but based on what he’s doing with the Cardinals right now, they didn’t get enough for him. However, in a loaded running back class, they can look to replace him.
Travis Etienne is probably the fastest back in this class. When he gets into open space he is very hard to catch. An underrated aspect of his game is his strength and power to break tackles. Many times on his film defenders literally just bounce off of him when trying to bring him down. He also has shown this season that he can be a weapon in the passing game with 29 catches this season.
Etienne would undoubtedly be the featured back right of the gate in Miami.
Scouting Report. CB. 2. Pick Analysis. Utah. Jaylon Johnson. player. 59
The Miami Dolphins have one good corner in Xavien Howard, but one good cornerback isn’t cutting it in the NFL. If you can’t cover across the field you will be exposed in today’s NFL.
Jaylon Johnson has good tools to work with. He has good size (6-0, 195 lb) and he can get physical when he needs to. He also does a good job of recognizing routes and making plays on the ball. This is displayed when he picks off Jacob Eason and returns it for a touchdown. He reads that it’s an out route, sits on it, and when Eason releases it he breaks on the ball, picks it, and takes it down the sideline for a touchdown.
Netane Muti. 3. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 59. G. Fresno State
As bad as the Miami Dolphins are at tackle, they may be even worse at guard where they have the 74th, 77th, and 79th ranked out of 82 guards in the NFL this season, according to pro football focus.
Netane Muti‘s career has unfortunately been hurt by injuries. He played 3 games this season before a foot injury ended his season. In 2018, he ruptured his Achilles in the second game of the season. Despite these injuries, Muti still has potential in the NFL. He is strong and can move pretty well for a 300 pounder.
