Miami Dolphins: 7-Round 2019 NFL mock draft starts rebuild

Round 3, Pick 78: Ben Powers, IOL, Oklahoma

Back to the offensive line we go for the Miami Dolphins as we look at the third round. Miami’s interior offensive line is downright scary for Fitzpatrick at this point with (from left-to-right) Isaac Asiata, Daniel Kilgore and Jesse Davis slated to start in the middle of the line. That’s why they take Ben Powers out of Oklahoma here and immediately put him up front.

A three-year starter on a stout offensive line, Powers is a strong player that competes on every single snap to the best of his abilities. He’s not a great mover or athlete, but he’s technically sound with his blocking and has progressed as a pass-protector in the Oklahoma offense. He may not be a stud right away, but he’s a serviceable Day 1 player for a line that needs such things.

Round 4, Pick 116: Isaiah Johnson, CB, Houston

2016 second-round pick Xavien Howard looks like a gem for the Dolphins and one of their true pieces that they can move forward with (if they retain him). However, Bobby McCain is set to start opposite of Howard in 2019, and that just speaks to the lack of talent in regards to the cornerbacks on the roster. Thus, they go after a high-ceiling player in Isaiah Johnson out of Houston that could help them right away.

With Johnson, there are going to be some growing pains if he plays early on. However, he has tremendous physical tools and instincts at the position, a converted wide receiver with nice ball skills, speed and length to make plays in the secondary. While he needs coaching in terms of being a technician with his feet and hands, the package is there to mold Johnson into a solid NFL corner.
