Round 2: Prince Tega Wanogho, OT, Auburn

Put simply, the Miami Dolphins aren’t going to be a winning football team in 2020 no matter what happens in the NFL Draft. It’s all about building for the future, which is why waiting a bit on an offensive tackle and selecting Prince Tega Wanogho ultimately makes sense for this franchise.

Tega Wanogho has all the physical tools in the world with size, length and strength to be a stalwart offensive tackle for many years in the NFL. As of right now, though, he’s still a relative newcomer to football, meaning that his technique remains extremely raw. That will need to be coached but, if he’s able to pick up the nuances of the NFL game, he could develop into a franchise cornerstone in Miami.

Round 2: A.J. Terrell, CB, Clemson

After adding Gross-Matos on the edge in Round 1, the Dolphins finish the second round by addressing their secondary, trying to get someone to help out there — especially given Xavien Howard‘s recent off-field issues. A.J. Terrell is a player that could answer the call for them out of Clemson.

No one is going to mistake the corner for being a strong, physical presence as his tackling against the run needs some work. However, he is an incredibly quick-footed player that’s more than capable in man coverage, shadowing opposing receivers with great effectiveness. With some added bulk, he could develop into a true No. 1 for the Miami defense.

Round 3: Chuba Hubbard, RB, Oklahoma State

For a running back listed at 6-1, 207 pounds, you might expect Chuba Hubbard to be a bruising running back but that’s really not the way the Oklahoma State product plays. He’s an incredibly agile and shifty player in short areas that’s capable of making players miss. Furthermore, he was a workhorse for the Cowboys offense, showing the ability to be an every-down player in an offense.

While Hubbard may not be a big-play threat that some in this class are, he has every bit of the potential to be the player to jumpstart a Dolphins rushing attack that was the worst in the NFL in 2019.
