After trading down twice in the 2nd round to obtain additional picks, the Dolphins take LSU WR Jarvis Landry. The 6'0, 205 lbs Landry is a very good route runner that does not lose speed out of his cuts and is good after the catch. He is a hands catcher and has very good hands, and is as tough as any wide receiver that is coming out in this draft. Also very good downfield in the run game as a blocker. The knock on Landry is he is not a speed receiver and ran a very poor time at the NFL Combine. That said, he is a very complete player. Think a smaller version of Anquan Boldin.

The Miami Dolphins selected Tennessee OT Ju'Wuan James with their 1st pick, #19. James shows the ability to slide to protect the edge against a variety of edge rushers he faced. Plays with his knees bent, butt down, which is good for a kid that is 6'6. Strong at the point of attack and can get to the 2nd level and anchor against the bull rush. Pad level is the main concern for a kid of his height. James stock had been on the rise and was considered a late 1st, early 2nd round pick. Miami obviously liked him more than the remaining offensive tackles on the board, and he will be given every chance to come in and be the Day 1 starter at ORT.
There was a good bit of buzz about Miami possibly trying to move down in this draft, but that did not happen as it is apparent that the Dolphins did not get any trade offers that they were happy with.
