Oddsmakers predict Dolphins draft

Over/under props for prospects have produced a different kind of mock draft, one that includes at least one surprise for the Miami Dolphins.

There are so many mock drafts around, it’s truly hard to keep up.

But here’s one with a different twist: It comes from SportsBettingDime.com and it’s based on the actual over/under NFL draft props being offered by the major sportsbooks on when players will be selected, the first player to be selected at each position, and the number of players at each position to be selected in the first round.

This mock draft includes the most frequent Dolphins projection: quarterback Tua Tagovailoa from Alabama selected fifth overall. At No. 26, the Dolphins are expected, based on player over/under props, to select Tagovailoa’s college teammate, safety Xavier McKinney.

But the Dolphins’ second of three first-round picks is where it gets interesting because this SBD.com mock draft includes trades, which were created to ensure a player was picked in his average draft position by a team with the specific need.

That gave the Dolphins offensive tackle Andrew Thomas from Georgia at No. 14 after a projected trade up from 18 with the Jacksonville Jaguars. There was no indication what the price would be for that kind of trade.
