Round Five – 178th Overall (Compensatory)
Danny Isidora, OG, Miami, (6-foot-3, 306 pounds)
There shouldn’t be a Dolphins mock draft that doesn’t have at least one Miami Hurricane in it.
Danny Isidora, who is also Weston Cypress Bay High School alum, was a three-year starter at right guard for UM and was – frankly – one of the few bright spots on the Canes’ offensive line in that span.
He’s steady and consistent and he’s athletic. He ran 5.03 in the 40-yard dash at the combine. Isidora has NFL size (6-foot-3, 303 pounds) while also being light-footed enough to pull and work into the second level.
He can stand to get stronger. Though he did 26 bench press reps of 225 pounds, he struggled with beefy bull-rushers at the Senior Bowl, but that’s correctable if he works hard.
This pick may not pay year-one dividends, but he should relish the opportunity to play for his hometown team and could provide capable depth if he doesn’t blossom into a starter.
