Dolphins pick CB Xavien Howard with 2nd round pick

Jamar Taylor 2.0

Same Miami Dolphins Scouts and FO now back to work after getting the major luck from Tunsil's fall, yesterday.

Someone spin this as a good move and make me feel optimistic


Absolutely stupid to move up for him. The Giants / bucs weren't gonna go corner. Why pick this dude? Alexander would've at least been a better value imo.

Sean Davis too.... I mean idk what else the pick could've been but I'm just not too stoked about it
 
welcome to Miami kid, no disrespect but this FAAAAHKING FO!
 
I worry about his speed a bit but this guy is a damn ball hawk and is very aggressive. A bit surprising but I am very intrigued by the pick.
 
Vance Joseph pick all day. He got his 2 big outside corners to run that press.
 
Finally take a corner and all you [removed by staff] do is whine about it. Stoked about this pick. Any corner who could hold his own in the passing Big XII is money.

The Miami Dolphins have their much-needed cornerback.

The team has selected Baylor cornerback Xavien Howard, a 6-foot-1, 201-pounder, who runs 4.44 in the 40.

Howard has all the traits the Dolphins want but he comes with questions ...

"His tape is highly conflicting," NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said. "It's either really good or really bad. you look at the tape of his game against North Carolina, he couldn't find the football."

H

"They're expecting me to come in and make plays and learn the defense," Howard said.

He said he models his game after Patrick Peterson and Darrelle Revis and described himself as "a physical cornerback."

Howard said he loves to play press. Good, because that's what the Dolphins are going to ask him to do.

emphasis on A corner
 
I am not upset about the player but why the hell did we trade up
 
Good pick, good fit for us. [removed by staff]

Yeah DC Joseph gets his preferred body type at corner. Sucks we had to trade up for him. Would have loved to snag Jack. But Howard impresses.

Grier expected a corner run was about to run. Thought two teams might step up and take him.

Chris Grier: "This is a prototype player. He checks all the boxes for us. He was a target player for us."

Howard is very familiar with Byron Maxwell's game.

#Dolphins GM Chris Grier: "This is a prototype player. We spent a lot of time with him. It's a premium need for us."

Grier: Two teams we thought in front of us might take him

Grier: This guy is ultra-competitive. He's an alpha. The size, the length, the speed, he's obvious a scheme fit for us

Grier asked if he tried to trade up even higher: "We were active today, I'll say that."
 
Don't love the pick or trading up for him. I need to research but I remember Baylor giving up about 1000 yards passing a game
