I like the mock so long as the Dolphins are able to secure another offensive tackle via trade or free agency. I like Eifert, Banks, Hunter, and Carradine.
I originally had us taking Kyle Long in the 2nd, but liked Banks and Hunter a lot more. I would sign Winston to a short term $3.5m annual deal at RT and see how Martin does manning the LT. He comes off as a kid who is really dedicated to improving and striving for greatness, I haven't heard any knocks on his work ethic, and being from Stanford is definitely a plus. I know many don't, but I have faith in him to take it up a notch in 2013.

I'm beginning to come around to the idea of Eifert as the pick at 12. He is a great athlete at a position that is becoming more and more important in the NFL. And you can never have too many playmakers. As long as we do something to address our issues at LT, I love this mock draft. I personally like Banks more than his counterpart Slay. Justin Hunter would be a great pick for us, especially when you factor in how much talk there is about NE wanting to take him. Carradine and Bell are great picks as well. Great job!
Thanks, I appreciate it. Adding Eifert and Hunter really gives the offense a special quality of height for Tannehill to work with, and Hunter has a 39.5' vertical leap, I truly believe the kid could be an Olympic athlete if he wanted to. Tannehill can chuck the ball up more deep with these guys once he gains that chemistry with them because they will come up on top in jump ball situations more often than not.
