The Miami Dolphins went into the 2010 NFL Draft looking for help on defense. The offense got an infusion of talent with the trade for Brandon Marshall from Denver. He will be catching passes from Chad Henne, who assumed the starting job after an injury to Chad Pennington and looks to be the quarterback of the future. The running game took a hit with another injury to Ronnie Brown, but Ricky Williams has been playing with renewed vigor. But he has indicated that 2010 will be his final season, and unless Brown can show he can stay injury free the Dolphins will be looking for help in the backfield.
Miami held the 12th Overall selection, but traded down with San Diego to #28 and wound up taking Jared Odrick, a defensive lineman out of Penn State. Odrick can play tackle and end, and the Dolphins are looking for him to play end. Koa Misi looks to give Miami depth at the linebacker position. The only offensive player taken was John Jerry, a guard out of Mississippi, who will be asked to step in right away.
The sleeper pick for Miami looks to be Reshad Jones, a safety who is a big hitter but also a ball hawk, picking off 11 passes at Georgia.
Draft Grade: B
