19. Miami Dolphins
Odell Beckham, Jr.
Wide Receiver, LSU
Previously: Zack Martin (Offensive Tackle, Notre Dame)
Giorgos:
I consider the Miami Dolphins a lucky team. Odell Beckham Jr. is one of my favorite players and definitely a go-to player for Ryan Tannehill. Mike Wallace has not been as good as expected and Brandon Gibson has struggled in the slot. Beckham Jr. is a smart receiver with a great combination of speed and athleticism who can play inside or outside and run downfield or cut inside.
Dave:
Unlike the Jets, the Miami Dolphins have their top two receiver slots locked in with Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline. Beckham provides a fantastic third option with room for growth, and solidifying receiver early allows the Dolphins to focus on adding more pieces to finalize their transition to a 4-3 defense.
