Miami Dolphins: How to establish identity early in 2020 NFL Draft
Round 2 (Saints Pick): Add a reliable option at receiver
Right now, the Miami Dolphins have a group of receivers that aren’t bad. The 6-4, 210-pound Preston Williams is a big-body boundary receiver with the potential to be an impact player. Unfortunately, his hands are unreliable.
On the other side, there’s DeVante Parker, who’s shaping out as a bust and he’s set for free agency. There’s also a chance he could get traded. Albert Wilson and Jakeem Grant are players that fit inside at the slot. Both players should stay on the roster and the Fins should look for another boundary receiver.
An ideal fit is 6-3, 220-pound UCF wideout Gabriel Davis. Pairing him with Williams will give the Dolphins two big-body receivers.
Unlike Williams, however, Davis’ greatest strength is his hands. Although he isn’t the quickest at the top of routes he does separate with savviness. He helps on the edge in the run game with his willingness to block.
Davis can work the middle of the field thanks to his catch radius and size. When the ball is in the air, he’ll come down with it. He’s the ideal boundary receiver with similar traits to Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson. His stock is rising but he’s a solid day two prospect perfectly suited for the Dolphins.
