The Dolphins won’t hesitate to take Rashan Gary here if he falls this far. Gary could potentially go as high as the No. 4 pick, so getting him at this juncture is a steal.

Gary is a very good athlete and was once a top recruit for Michigan. He never put up big numbers at the school, but he has nice versatility and a was a disruptive force at times for the team. He’s the type of player that may make more of an impact at the NFL level.

The Dolphins are desperate for some help on the defensive line. They traded Robert Quinn to the Cowboys and virtually only have former first-round pick Charles Harris as a potential pass rusher. They’ll need to add a lot more talent, and Gary would be a good starting point as an inside/outside threat.

If Gary isn’t on the board here or if the Dolphins opt for a different position, they could target Jonah Williams here. Williams is one of the best tackles in this draft, and he would fill the void left by the departure of the team’s right tackle, Ja’Wuan James, in free agency.
