Disappointed we couldn't trade down but I think this was the best player we could pick at 13. I'm excited
That would have been great but the return on the investment must not have been there, so they made the pick.

Good player all around. Now that we have a thread for the guy, I'm going to post this here.
So who is Christian Wilkins?
1. Great explosive athlete who at 315 pounds jumped 29.5" vertical, and ran a 5.04 forty.
2. Excellent run stuffer.
3. Excellent interior pass rusher.
4. Big enough (6'3" and 315 pounds) to cover as a NT in a 3 man front and quick enough to star as a DT in a 4 man front.
5. Smart enough to learn and master our complex defensive scheme and multiple fronts. He won the "academic Heisman", graduated undergrad in 2.5 years and got a masters degree with the next 1.5 years.
6. Winner who wins National Championships.
7. Leader who was named a team Captain twice.
8. Good citizen.
9. Healthy and reliable.
10. Charismatic with a positive attitude.
11. Known asset as our coaching staff coached him in college.
12. Highest rated of the Clemson players according to Daniel Jeramiah (and possibly many others, just know this fact).
13. Excited to be joining the Dolphins, attempted to shoulder bump, chest thump and bear hug the Commissioner when drafted, and eagerly and emphatically put on his Dolphins gear.
Safe bet all the way around, quality characteristics, quality athlete, quality work ethic, quality character. Should fit well into the new Minkah Fitzpatrick defense. If Fitzpatrick controls the back end, Wilkins can do the same for the guys up front. Not a dominant pass rusher. Not a super-important position, but definitely a valuable position and a position of need. Was rated as high as #7 overall by Daniel Jeramiah. Good value at our spot. Looks like a solid draft pick.

Highlights are great, but game tape is better:
I love everything about Christian Wilkins. I am so happy he's coming to Miami.
Likely did not have the value to move down, so we made the right pick.
Love it!

Outstanding pick! I was concerned that we were going to take a QB.
Wilkins Is A Winner! Yes!!
Stoked about the pick! DT in the 1st round isn't insane as a lot seem to think!
Didn’t the fins hire the Clemson dline coach for the same position too?
