Miami Dolphins 7-round 2020 NFL mock draft: A bright future

In the fifth round of this mock draft, the Dolphins take a chance on some more offensive line help. Matthew Peart is an interesting offensive tackle prospect who has quick feet and long arms. His footwork and technique need some work and he does lack ideal functional strength. However, if Peart can clean up his game a bit, he could quickly become a valuable player at the offensive tackle position.

Paddy Fisher is a hard-nose inside linebacker prospect who has been a consistent performer in college. He is not the most athletic linebacker in the 2020 NFL draft class, but he does move relatively well and shows good instincts in coverage. Fisher is not a high-upside addition, but he is a rock-solid contributor who could make an immediate impact for the Miami Dolphins.

Scott Frantz has been a successful four-year starter at left tackle for Kansas State. He does not have ideal length and athleticism for the left tackle position at the next level, but he could make a smooth transition to the inside. Frantz gets off of the ball quickly and shows extremely strong hands. He is a smart and experienced player who could be a real value selection late in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Reggie Floyd is a fast and aggressive safety prospect who does a nice job of playing forward. Floyd is an impressive downhill player who works through traffic well and is physical at the point of attack. At worst, Floyd feels like a strong special teams player who could grow into a productive defender for the Miami Dolphins down the line.

With their third and final sixth-round selection, the Dolphins bring in Nyles Pinckney for some interior defensive line depth. Pinckney gets off of the ball quickly and consistently shows great pad level. He is strong at the point of attack and shows impressive competitive toughness. He is a strong and dependable depth player who could provide value on early downs.

With their final selection of this mock draft, the Dolphins swing for the fences with some offensive upside. Jeff Thomas was never overly productive in college and had his off-field issues, but his speed and elusiveness in the open field are legit. Thomas can make plays with the ball in his hands and could be an asset for the Dolphins in the return game.
