There is a ton to like about what Devin Duvernay could potentially bring to the Dolphins offense. His combination of high-end speed and great hands make him a weapon that can make big plays. He’s also not afraid of getting dirty and physical, which is another asset. However, he’s an odd bird as a slot receiver in his build as he’s not exceptionally quick or fluid. Subsequently, the touches given to him should not be expected to be that of a traditional slot but he can still be a highly productive force.

You’re absolutely right we’re going back to the offensive line well. After getting two tackles and an interior player, the Dolphins look to either add a developmental starter or a depth piece with their first pick of the seventh round by selecting Tremayne Anchrum. The Clemson product played tackle in college but has the frame and lack of length that make him a better fit at guard. With his experience and athleticism there, however, he can surely be a plus asset for Miami’s offense.

Getting a player with Nevelle Clark’s physical tools in the final round of the draft isn’t something that often happens. However, the Dolphins luck into the UCF product here in hopes that he can turn into something big for them.

Clark is the exact type of athlete you want as a boundary cornerback, possessing the speed, quickness and fluidity to be a playmaker on the outside. All he needs to do is become a stronger player and surer tackle and he could be a high-end asset in the rebuilt secondary.

While James Proche is the third receiver that the Dolphins add in this draft class, he should be well worth it. He’s a player who diversifies the wide receiver room further, which should open up the offense more.

Proche has no elite physical tools or athletic ability to speak of. However, he has great route-running, footwork and a feel for making plays to go with sure hands. His ability as a possession receiver should make him a valuable cog in the offense and a steal at the end of Round 7.
