The following is a list of college players who have visited or held private workouts with the Dolphins in preparation for the NFL Draft, which will be held in Chicago from April 30 to May 2.
Diggs is a sure-handed receiver who is more quick than fast. He consistently creates separation, and has that IT factor that makes you fold your breathe when the ball is in his hands. Problem is Diggs had trouble staying healthy, which hints he’ll wait till day three to be selected.

(Nati Harnik / AP)Has the D-Line improved? It’s a close call. That’s jarring considering they added tackle Ndamukong Suh. But they lost tackles Randy Starks and Jared Odrick. Suh isn’t equal to a Starks and Odrick. He’s not that good. They added NT Jordan Phillips (pictured) in the draft, but he’s wait-and-see. And if they had more faith in the returning tackles it’s doubtful they would have drafted a tackle in the second round

Thompson is a late-round safety who can add value as a special teamer right away if selection in the sixth of seventh round. His measurable (4.48 in the 40, 21 reps of 225 pounds, 40.5 inch vertical) are impressive, and if trained to recognize and react faster he has a shot of becoming an NFL starter.
