1. Micah Parsons, LB, Penn State

It’s too early to tell what the fall of Micah Parsons will look like. As of right now, there are some extremely disturbing hazing allegations being leveled against Parsons, which are sure to alter his draft stock dramatically if he is not exonerated in some way. A surefire top ten pick just days ago, Parsons may very well be available at pick 18. The question becomes whether or not the Dolphins would even consider taking him at pick 18.

Head coach Brian Flores is constantly preaching about culture and bringing the right guys into the locker room. Somehow, Micah Parsons was able to make comments about his immaturity become completely overshadowed within days. It would be hard to tell whether or not Miami would be interested, but he is an option as of now. If more allegations come to light, he would almost certainly be off of many teams’ draft boards.

While there are hundreds of questions circling around Micah Parsons the person, the player is still an elite draft prospect and could help turn a good Dolphins defense into perhaps the best in the NFL. The Dolphins defense finished top five in scoring in 2020, but inconsistency at linebacker was a sore spot, and not one player in the room has a secure spot in 2021 outside of Jerome Baker.
