With the 12th Pick the Dolphins Take?

Tyler Eifert still might be in the equation at the 12th pick, so I wouldn't leave him off the list.

I personally don't believe drafting Eifert or Austin earlier at the 12th pick is not a waste if the intention is day one starter material. With the rookie contracts much more favorable these days, you can afford to do that plus in reality if they draft a guy that will be productive right away from a need position, to me it is worth drafting whichever guy that is etc.

I believe the Keller signing is for Egnew's development. If he develops then he will be the 2014 starting TE & Keller walks. If he doesn't then they can re-up Keller or sign or draft a new TE for 2014.

Don't forget Charles Clay.

Really disappointed in Clay. Thought he would be a great mismatch coming out of the fullback spot, but for some reason that just has not happened.

He has been better than Egnew.

Clay is a lot like Dustin Keller's skills. Eifert is a different type of hybrid blocking and receiving tight end and is a bigger target in the red zone.

Going 12th overall or anywhere ahead of 12th?

Certain athletes contain skill sets that disregards the common measurements ranking in NFL. I hope Austin is that specimen.

I see a team going after Austin in the 20-32 range. I think teams will see a 5'8" 175 Lb slot Wr and not believe he is worth such a high pick. Percy Harvin did not get picked until 22 is what I'm basing this off of.

the Rams are gonna get Austin at #16.
Perfect replacement for Amendola

That would make a lot of sense for them. I would still like to see us pick him up, but I would be very surprised if we actually do.
