D'Andre Swift. 26. player. 59. . Running Back. Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins probably want to get a receiver or a tackle here, but D’Andre Swift may be too good to pass up. The Georgia product is the best running back in this class and had the Dolphins kept their No. 18 pick in this mock, they may have targeted him there.

Swift posted consecutive 1,000-yard seasons at Georgia. He has averaged 6.6 yards per carry during his career. And even better, he makes an impact as a receiver and has consistently averaged 9.0 yards per catch or more in his three college seasons.

Despite his production, Swift never had more than 200 carries in a season. That’s mostly due to the running back talent that Georgia always seems to have, as they’re always using multiple guys under Kirby Smart. But he can be a three-down starter and impact the game in a number of ways.

Swift is, well, swift. He has good top-end speed, solid burst, good vision, and good elusiveness. And though he’s just 5-foot-9, he has a thick 215-pound frame and should be durable enough to be a bell cow at the next level.

The Dolphins could really use Swift. His presence would take the pressure of Tua Tagovailoa early in his career, as he’d always have a guy to hand off to or check down to. And considering that the Dolphins were using Patrick Laird in a rather sizable capacity at the end of last season, Swift should be a major upgrade over him.

Other options for Miami here include Tee Higgins, Shane Lemieux, and Josh Jones.
