Where does Miami stand at OL?

Yes, new Dolphins signee Aaron Brewer was a center in his last season with the Titans, but he also has experience at guard. So there’s no reason for Miami to overlook the handful of bona fide centers in this class. Oregon’s Jackson Powers-Johnson is the obvious choice, although the first round may be early to take a player with a pure center pedigree. Barton has left tackle flexibility, which makes him a more viable round-one candidate.

If Miami decides not to go offensive line in the first round, the second round could provide a haven of options for general manager Chris Grier. West Virginia’s Zach Frazier leads the bunch with a great mix of power and intelligence. Frazier was a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, nicknamed the “Academic Heisman,” whose list of past winners includes Peyton Manning and former Dolphins player Christian Wilkins.

Further down the line are other center candidates like Georgia’s Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, a Second Team All-American with solid hands and great size for the position at 6’4. With a good combination of pass and run-blocking skills, he has power, intelligence, and versatility in schemes. He can get to the second level and take on linebackers to help with big-play run potential.

Deeper down the draft, Day 3 will likely have Combine bench press champ Beaux Limmer of Arkansas available, as well as Miami Hurricane Matt Lee.
