Omar Kelly, a Miami Dolphins beat writer for the Sun-Sentinel, took to Twitter to post a mock draft he created in a scenario in which the Dolphins choose to pass on former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

As we are less than a month away from the 2020 NFL Draft we couldn’t be any less sure about the potential landing spot for Alabama’s 2018 Heisman-finalist.

A commonly discussed destination for Tagovailoa to begin his NFL career is Miami. There are plenty of other theories to consider, but the most realistic one seems to be with the Dolphins at pick No. 5.

Kelly decided to see what a draft would look like if Miami chose to overlook Tagovailoa and address another positional need.

Instead of selecting Tagovailoa at No. 5, Kelly has the Dolphins draft former Clemson line backer Isaiah Simmons. This would allow the Los Angeles Chargers to fill their vacancy at quarterback with the former Alabama star at No. 6.

Though they passed on Tagovailoa in this mock draft, the Alabama connection stays alive as Kelly predicts Miami selecting Jedrick Wills at No. 18 overall.

Kelly has the Dolphins drafting a Utah State’s Jordan Love with pick No. 26, their final of three picks in the first round. The idea of selecting Love over Tagovailoa would likely put a knot into any football fans stomach, but theres a chance that the Dolphins prefer Love and would like to address other positional needs first.

The idea that Love is Miami’s favorite in the 2020 quarterback class may not be so far fetched, as Kelly tweets out in response to criticism of his unorthodox mock draft.

We won’t know for sure what will happen in the 2020 NFL Draft until it unfolds live, but we can always have a little fun with our guesses! Roll Tide Wire will keep you updated on all things Alabama and the 2020 NFL Draft.
