MIAMI DOLPHINS: TUA TAGOVAILOA QB | ALABAMA
Even though they didn’t secure the #1 overall pick the “Tank for Tua” strategy is still effective as the Dolphins get their guy. Miami’s desire to land a franchise signal caller is the worst-kept secret in the league so this may merely be a question of Tagovailoa or Oregon’s Justin Herbert. Tagovailoa’s stock is clouded by a season-ending hip injury, which is just the latest in a string of lower body ailments. Indications are that Tagovailoa is expected to make a full recovery and if that’s the case he should still be a Top 5 pick. If the medicals don’t check out or the Dolphins are just generally concerned about his durability they could audible to Herbert, who the organization is also said to be high on. When healthy Tagovailoa is a dynamic playmaker in the mold of a Steve Young or Russell Wilson, capable of making plays with his arm and legs. Tagovailoa also possesses the top-notch intangibles needed to thrive as a quarterback in the NFL.
-- I'd like to get Jedrick Willis or Javon Kinlaw at #18- I don't see Willis falling enough for that but we might have a shot at Kinlaw, both physical forces.
