MIAMI GARDENS \u2014 The Miami Dolphins<\/a> enter Friday\u2019s second and third rounds of the NFL draft with four picks \u2014 one in the second round (No. 43) and three in the third round (Nos. 75, 87 and 94).<\/p>\n

General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley are in charge of a draft for the first time in their careers, and you could argue what they do Friday is just as important as what they did Thursday in the first round<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are the top 20 players available for the Dolphins (in no particular order):\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Keionte Scott, CB, Miami<\/p>\n

Scott (5 foot 11, 183 pounds), who projects as a nickel\/slot, is a playmaker, evidenced by 2 INT return TDs, 13 TFL (tackles for loss), 5.0 sacks, 2 FF (forced fumbles) and 5 PBU (passes broken up).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gennings Dunker, G-C, Iowa<\/p>\n

Dunker (6-5, 319), who gained a measure of cult-like fame due to his mullet haircut and red hair, is a RT who had played RG and projects as an interior offensive lineman. He\u2019s a good run blocker who anchors well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Treydan Stukes, S, Arizona<\/p>\n

Stukes (6-0, 190) is a top-notch athlete with 4.4-second 40-yard dash speed to go along with 4 INTs. But he\u2019s also versatile as he can play deep, shallow or at the line of scrimmage. He\u2019s a sixth-year senior and regarded as a true football nut (in a good way) and studious.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama<\/p>\n

Bernard (6-1, 206) is a versatile weapon who projects as WR2 or WR3 while taking most of his snaps from the slot. Totaled 64 receptions for 862 yards and 7 TDs. Doesn\u2019t have blazing speed (4.48-second 40-yard dash) but is fast enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chase Bisontis, G, Texas A&M<\/p>\n

Bisontis (6-5, 315), a LG, has good hands, good feet and lots of toughness. Pass protection is good enough. Bisontis projects as a Day 1 starter but it\u2019s unclear whether he can also play center, which would increase his value.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Pregnon, G-C, Oregon<\/p>\n

Pregnon (6-4, 314) is mostly a LG although he\u2019s played on both sides. He has good hands and lower-body strength which he uses well as a run blocker. He\u2019s got good nastiness and offers versatility.<\/p>\n

Bud Clark, S, TCU<\/p>\n

Clark (6-0, 188) is a ballhawk, as his 4 INT last year (two returned for TDs) and 10 INTs over the past three years attest. He has good cover skills and is a willing tackler despite being a bit small for the position.<\/p>\n

Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame<\/p>\n

Fields (6-4, 218) is a big WR who uses physicality more than finesse. He had 55 receptions for 808 yards and 5 TDs, often going to get the ball. He\u2019s best suited to serve as a complementary WR.<\/p>\n

Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt<\/p>\n

Stowers (6-3, 239) won the Mackey Award (nation\u2019s best TE) and the Campbell Trophy (academic Heisman). He had 62 receptions for 769 yards and 4 TDs. He\u2019s a receiving TE who doesn\u2019t have strong blocking skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chris Bell, WR, Louisville<\/p>\n

Bell (6-1, 222) is a big, talented WR who had 72 receptions for 917 yards and 6 TDs but sustained a torn ACL on Nov. 22 against SMU. Bell is reportedly ahead of schedule in his rehab. He had nine receptions for 136 yards and 2 TDs in Louisville\u2019s 24-21 upset win over Miami.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oscar Delp, TE, Georgia<\/p>\n

Delp (6-4, 245) totaled 20 receptions for 261 yards and 1 TD last season. He played two seasons under standout TE Brock Bowers. There\u2019s a thought Delp might be a better pro than college player.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instant Analysis: Breaking down Dolphins\u2019 selections of Kadyn Proctor, Chris Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n

Sam Hecht, C-G, Kansas State<\/p>\n

Hecht (6-4, 303), a fifth-year senior and former walk-on who didn\u2019t earn a scholarship until his junior year, might be the best center in the draft. He\u2019s athletic and strong with good hands but, for what it\u2019s worth, has short arms.<\/p>\n

Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana<\/p>\n

Sarratt (6-2, 210) had a FBS-leading 15 TDs to go along with 65 receptions and 835 yards. He\u2019s not fast but he\u2019s good at back-shoulder receptions and teammates nicknamed him \u201cWaffle House\u201d because he\u2019s always open.<\/p>\n

Sam Roush, TE, Stanford<\/p>\n

Roush (6-6, 267) is the best blocking, or \u201cY,\u201d TE in the draft. Despite that label he totaled 49 receptions for 545 yards and 2 TDs. A tough, physical player, Roush shined at the NFL scouting combine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fast facts: Here\u2019s what you need to know about Dolphins\u2019 first-round pick Kadyn Proctor<\/a><\/p>\n

Chris Brazzell II, WR, Tennessee<\/p>\n

Brazzell (6-4, 198) had an impressive season with 62 receptions, 1,017 yards and 9 TDs. A long strider who can use his length to get the ball, Brazzell is good at many things but not great at anything. He can catch passes short, intermediate and deep.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo<\/p>\n

McNeil-Warren (6-3, 201) posted 77 tackles, 5 PBUs, 5.5 TFLs and 3 FF (forced fumbles). He\u2019s tall and long but he\u2019ll come up and make hits. HE\u2019s good in coverage vs. TEs and RBs.<\/p>\n

Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee<\/p>\n

Hood (5-11, 193) is long-armed and fast, skills that he used to total 50 tackles, 4.5 TFLs and 8 PBUs. After playing at Auburn and Colorado, Hood found a home at Tennessee. He has shown he\u2019s a willing tackler.<\/p>\n

Denzel Boston, WR, Washington<\/p>\n

Boston (6-3, 212) is big and physical and can go up and get the ball in impressive fashion\u2026totaled 62 receptions for 881 yards and 11 TDs\u2026the Dolphins don\u2019t have a big WR on their roster.<\/p>\n

T.J. Parker, Edge rusher, Clemson<\/p>\n

Parker (6-3, 263) is athletic and versatile\u2026had 37 tackles, 5.0 sacks and 9.5 TFLs\u2026Miami is in need of someone who can rush the passer.<\/p>\n

Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson<\/p>\n

Terrell (5-10, 186) had 9 PBUs, 5 FFs, 4.5 TFLs and 3.0 sacks last season. He can play outside or inside He is best at man coverage and has shown he\u2019s willing to come up to make tackles.<\/p>\n
