2. First round: Kwity Paye, EDGE, Michigan

Emmanuel Ogbah has been a very nice pickup for the Miami Dolphins in 2020, but they need more juice off the edge in the pass rush department.

After some solid years with Michigan, Kwity Paye has wasted no time in racking up numbers for the Wolverines in 2020.

In just two games, he’s got three tackles for loss and two sacks.

Paye has tremendous quickness off the snap, length, strength, ability to convert speed to power, and bend around the edge.

In fact, his short-area quickness could be his best all-around trait.

Paye can stand up or put his hand in the dirt and I think he would be a great weapon for Brian Flores’ defensive front, helping put the ball back in Tua Tagovailoa’s hands with game-changing sacks.
