59. The Miami Dolphins are on and coming as they look like they’re going to get in the playoffs now. QB Ryan Tannehill just started to get things going for himself before his injury. And Matt Moore has come in and not caused the offense to miss a beat. <p>Well, the offense doesn’t have to miss a beat because of a QB change when the RB is the beat of the offense. Jay Ajayi, whom like liked since before the 2015 NFL Draft, has caught on. Opposing defensive coordinators will have to think of ways to stop him from now on.</p> <p>Again, the passing game off of it is coming along with Tannehill throwing to a solid corps of WRs. DeVante Parker, Kenny Stills and Jarvis Landry are the up-and-coming WR corps. A TE to work the middle of the field and off play action would make the offense unstoppable.</p> <p>So here at No. 22 overall, the Dolphins pick TE O.J. Howard to complete the Dolphins passing game. Howard is the best run blocking TE in college football now so he won’t hurt Ajayi. The Dolphins would get that much closer to taking the AFC East from the New England Patriots with this pick. </p>. TE. Alabama. O.J. Howard. 22. player
