2. Raekwon Davis, DL, Alabama

It’s tough for a second-round pick to be ‘under-hyped’, but that’s the case with Dolphins second-rounder Raekwon Davis.

Davis’ production took a nosedive in 2018 and 2019 compared to his sophomore season in 2017 when he racked up 69 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 8.5 sacks.

In 2018 and 2019 combined, Davis still had over 100 total tackles but just 8.5 tackles for loss and two sacks.

Despite the dip in production, Davis was an impact player and three-year starter for the Crimson Tide, and he’s good at his job of stuffing the run and clogging up passing lanes with his tremendous length and wingspan.

Davis will offer the Dolphins some positional versatility as he can play the wide defensive end spot or kick inside as a rusher, and he might have a lot of success as an NFL pass rusher if he gets more opportunities inside.

Davis will come into the Miami program and be able to give them tremendous flexibility up front defensively.
