The NFL draft is fast approaching on April 28, which means there will be plenty of mock drafts over the next several days.

ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper provided his “Grade A” projection for all 32 teams Tuesday. Similar to Todd McShay’s mock draft last week, Kiper provided his ideal picks for each draft slot.

Here were Kiper's “Grade A” selections for the Miami Dolphins:

Round 1 (No. 13): Ohio State LB Darron Lee

Round 2 (No. 42): Baylor CB Xavien Howard

Round 3 (No. 73): Cal WR Kenny Lawler

Analysis: I would be surprised if the Dolphins came away with this trio of prospects next week. It is not an impressive group overall and Kiper didn't make need much of a priority. The Dolphins would be much better off taking a running back (Ezekiel Elliott?) or cornerback (Vernon Hargreaves? Eli Apple? William Jackson?) in the first round. Lee is an up-and-coming prospect at linebacker, but the Dolphins are confident they have their three Week 1 starters in Jelani Jenkins, Koa Misi and Kiko Alonso. Miami needs its No. 13 overall pick to be a Day 1 starter, and that wouldn’t be the case with Lee. Howard would fill a need at cornerback. However, I feel the Dolphins could do better in the second round, especially considering this mock presents the ideal scenario for each draft pick. One cornerback I like in the second round is Virginia Tech’s Kendall Fuller, who is more of a playmaker. Finally, Miami has too many holes to draft a wide receiver in the third round. Lawler was a top target of Cal quarterback Jared Goff, who has a good chance to be the No. 1 overall pick. But receiver is one of the few positions the Dolphins are set and have good depth. By Round 3, it’s probably a good time for Miami to start fixing its shaky offensive line.
