The Miami Dolphins have an offense that’s coming up with QB Ryan Tannehill and RB Jay Ajayi. If they can get the defense together, they just might make a little noise in the AFC East. On defense, they have Cameron Wake along with Suh on their front-seven but need more. <p>With just Suh and Wake, the Dolphins were in the middle of the league in sacks with 33 in 2016. They were also No. 30 against the run and tied for the worst yards-per-carry average given up at 4.8. Here at No. 22 overall, they can get a guy that can help in both areas.</p> <p>Haason Reddick walked on at Temple as a CB then moved to DE and did very well there. And at the Senior Bowl, he showed that he can play LB to exponentially improve his value. Then at the combine, he improved that value even more, running a 4.52 40 to lead all DLs and LBs.</p> <p>Reddick, with his versatility, can play either of the three Dolphins’ LB spots and rush the passer when needed. Picking Reddick would kill two weaknesses with one player for the Dolphins. Then once they get the defense straightened out, they’ll be tough to beat for anyone.</p>. LB. Temple.
