Dolphins select Taylor Decker, OL-Ohio State
I had him to the Colts at 18 in the first draft... But decided to change things up with this draft. I still expect the Colts to pick him in rd 1 if Conklin is gone by their pick tomorrow night.Not sure exactly how Decker slipped this far, but I'd be shocked if he's not among the top 25 picks tomorrow night.
I could have easily taken Decker for the Browns at 32 but went for the center Kelly instead...Just felt that was a more impactful position of need as opposed to RT (where Decker would line up in Cleveland with Joe Thomas obviously already occupying the left spot).I had him to the Colts at 18 in the first draft...

Dammit Fogel...That was the steal of the draft. I wanted him for the Bungholes...Oh well.
I'll take Jihad Ward, DT, Illinois instead. There's still plenty of receivers left, but Cincy needs to add some new blood to the middle of its d-line. Ward has been a fast riser and will look to wage a holy war against opposing offenses. (See what I did there?)
They might rival the '98 Vikes for offensive explosiveness!Seriously. Can you imagine the elation on Teddy Bridgewater's face if the Vikings add Treadwell and Doctson? With Diggs, Rudolph, and of course AD running the ball.
Hargrave's a late bloomer. He has done almost all of his work without top level coaching, and on just athletic ability alone, but still produces eye popping numbers. With the right coaching he could be another Aaron Donald, or Timmy J. (who remembers him?).Hargrave's a great small-school sleeper pick in a very deep DL draft, but I find it interesting that guys like Austin Johnson, Aldolphus Washington, Sheldon Day, and Hassan Ridgeway went undrafted.
I really like Hargrave. I was considering taking him near the end of round 3 in our first draft, but we never got to those picks!Hargrave's a late bloomer.
