Ian Rapoport: If they don’t, remember the name Ja’Wuan James from Tennessee RT @KingMcCain14: @RapSheet Dolphins trade up for a tackle


Some believe the Dolphins might take him with the 19th pick in the first round.

A solid 4 year starter.. very underrated. IMO.

I love the draft. cant wait to see where everyone gets drafted.

Give me tiny all day.. James is great with pass rush from the right side but he's not much of a road grader for the running game.. Tiny is more balanced IMO.

I don't know either one personally, so I'm basing this entirely off things I've heard and read, but Tiny's biggest weakness is motivation. He has great upside but has yet to show he'll put in the serious work. James is a gamer. He gives you everything he has and learns from his mistakes. He's more down to earth than Tiny atp. James will give you everything he has every game. So I can see why that would appeal more to an NFL team. But again, just to be clear, that's all off of hearsay and not anything I myself have witnessed.

James is better right now than Tiny. He was solid past two year and yes he was a road grader. Very noticeable when we rushed behind Fulton and James. James is a sure starter in NFL. Tiny can be better if he puts in the work.

That is a good post. Tiny has the prototype body (35" arms) and power. NFL teams seem to be questing his motivation and work ethic. All Tiny needs is to be drafted by a team whose coach can motivate Tiny (as well as $$$ to motivate him) and I think he can be a very good NFL player. He just has to want it and be willing to give everything to succeed. Some players do not have that desire, but I think Tiny will surprise us and bring it.

Did you perform a biopsy on Tiny's body?

I get your point, but James seems to be made of steel. Started every game of his career. I can't even remember heading about him being held out of a single practice while he was here.

I think Tiny definitely has the better upside, but with James you know exactly what you're getting. I think he'll have a really solid career at RT.

Sounds like you nailed it to me.

Antonio Richardson Draft Profile

Weaknesses
Is not a finisher and carries underachiever tendencies, displaying inconsistent effort and technique. Rises out of his stance and relies too much on his natural power, letting defenders walk him back. Plays too passively and gives more ground than he should. Is late to reach the second level and gives up instead of peeling back to pick off another defender. Hand use is very raw -- not active and does not replace. Could require some time to assimilate a playbook.

I do remember hearing that he received a 1st round grade from the Dolphins. Also heard that he might be the 3rd or 4th OT on their board. I would love to see him go in the 1st

Truth is... you always need good offensive linemen. Good for him. I hope he excels at the next level.

They could easily wait until the 3rd. Richardson will probably be a mid to late 2nd Rd'er.

I doubt James goes in the first round though I did see one guy had him picked to go to the Pats in the first round . I also don't think James would be anyone one's third tackle on the board as just about everyone and their brother have the top three as Robinson , Matthews and Lewan

The last mock draft I saw had Tiny going in the 2nd to Carolina. Juwuan was picked a couple spots ahead of him. Honestly I think Tiny goes early/mid 2nd. Somebody is gonna take a chance on him and he deserves that. Kids humble!
