The Miami Dolphins will look to rebuild after a frustrating 6-10 season. Miami enters 2018 with $9.7 million in cap space, which is the 4th fewest in the NFL, which means it's important to not miss in the first round. The Dolphins have the 11th pick in the NFL draft and have plenty of holes that need to be filled. Here are three players the Dolphins should avoid in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

3.) Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming
Wyoming Cowboys QB Josh Allen is one of the most divisive prospects in this year's NFL Draft. Allen has drawn a considerable amount of hype and buzz, despite not putting strong numbers in college. He's got all the physical tools (size, arm, athleticism), but they're very raw. He's had issues this year, but some team will fall in love with his upside, hopefully, that team isn't the Dolphins.

2.) Orlando Brown, OT, Oklahoma
Miami's offensive line needs to get better and they may look to upgrade that unit in the first round. Brown is a big boy, standing 6-foot-8 and weighing 360 pounds. Despite Brown's size, he struggles with speedy edge rushers. If the Dolphins make him, a left tackle it could be a rough start to Brown's career.

1) Malik Jefferson, LB, Texas Longhorns

A big concern for the Dolphins entering the season is their talent and depth at the linebacker position. Jefferson has the tools to be a solid linebacker against both the run and in coverage, but at the 11th overall pick is a bit of a reach. Jefferson led the Longhorns in tackles, tackles for loss, and sacks, but the Big 12 is far from the NFL.
