I don't get the Browns drafting a center when they have Mack. Lions go G instead of DT which is still a need both in short and long term.
Dolphins could use a G and LB in round 2. Could also go DB and RB as well. Without a third rounder they might do some wheeling and dealing to get more picks.
They were talking last night on NFL Network, Mack has an opt-out clause in his contract and some of the Browns players, notably LT Joe Thomas, have said this might be his last year, he'll opt-out and try to go elsewhere to escape the Browns dysfunction. If that happens, they now have someone to fill the hole.

Mack was going to leave last year I thought or could have if I'm not mistaken. So it was wise to take the guy they did.
They had a solid pick in Bitoni(sp) last season
Dolphins take Jordan Phillips. Making getting stronger inside a big priority. Well let's hope that includes guard since they have a big hole at one spot. A big RB would be nice too.
In addition to what others said earlier, also Erving played both left tackle at center for Florida State, was (I've been told) an all-conference pick at both spots. So if Mack sticks around then you have a guy that has the versatility to play anywhere on the line. If not then you can replace Mack.

From what I have read he's a great center but not a good tackle. I think anytime you draft a player and that pushes a good player off your roster soon it's not a win-win scenario.
Dolphins now have 4 fifth round picks. I was surprised at picking Jordan Phillips but he's a big man and our DTs were garbage against the run last year. The last 6 games were embarrassing. Earl Mitchell at DT is one of our worst starters so I can see it despite the depth and a couple young guys we have. Currently Dallas Thomas is the worst starter on the team at G. I would like to see more competition there.
Mack was transitioned and got a pretty decent contract. This protects Browns but Cleveland is Last Chance U in the NFL right now. Nobody wants to be there.
La'el Collins said he won't sign with any team this year now and will reenter the draft next year. The mother and baby are both dead. Nobody knows exactly his involvement.
I guess Collins might only have the option of getting redrafted if he's actually selected. If he goes undrafted it is a grey area but the NFL plans on treating him like an UDFA and he can't enter the 2016 draft.

According to his lawyer, they have proof and witnesses that place him in an entire different city from well before all the way through to after the girl was killed. Between that and police not even considering him a suspect right now, just wanting to ask some questions, if it turns out he had absolutely nothing to do with that, that's a shitty situation all around. A likely first round pick only to have his career derailed and multi millions instantly lost over something he had no involvement in (if it's proven without a doubt he wasn't involved).

Lot's of praise on NFL NETWORK for the Fins. Outside of their round 1 pick I don't really follow any of those players. You like what you see Rudy?
I am happy. I was surprised by the NT in round 2 but we needed more beef in the middle. The 4th round guard was more of a need pick and there was a run on guards at that time. But their 5th rounders were nice. Really like getting Ajayi as a power RB. Drafted a small nickel CB who seems good in that role, a FS with good athletic ability but poor instincts, and the MSU WR who they are converting to CB. The G and Ajayi will push to start.
I would have liked to see a LB but they aren't used as much and Miami blames their D problems on the DTs from last year. Since they didn't take a CB high they are banking on former second rounder Jamar Taylor to stay healthy and be a good starter.
