How can we not want Javonte Williams

I don’t think it is a matter of “not want.” I think it is a matter of who they prefer more.

I prefer Najee and Etienne for their pass catching abilities, and would still be pleased if Miami ends up with Javonte.
 
It probably isn’t that they wouldn’t love to draft Williams. It might come down to Grier and Flores wanting to fill what they consider bigger needs with their first four picks.

I could see them selecting a WR, DE, Offensive Lineman, and a LB or Center with their first four picks and waiting until the third round or later to draft a RB. That would likely mean Williams, Harris, and Etienne will not be a Dolphin next year.

Like you, I would really like the Dolphins to draft Williams but it won’t surprise me if the North Carolina RB they end up with is Carter in round three instead of Williams in the earlier rounds.
 
He is a nice RB, but he is as of today a two down back. Can he improve in pass catching and pass pro, sure, but that's not who he is today. He also doesn't quite have that 2nd gear for me to be considered the TOP RB in this class. I think Harris and ETN are both on a higher level as a RB as of RIGHT NOW and the only ones worth any consideration round 1.

Still though at 18, I wouldn't take any of them, but at 36 Id take any of them. Problem is I don't think any of them will be there that's the main issue. Teams know we want one of those guys and can easily get ahead of us before 36 to take one.

I like Etienne best. All three are really same tier, though—it’s more about system fit.
 
He's not the receiver that Najee or ETN are and isn't explosive enough on the ground to make up for it hence why he'll be there in the 2nd.
 
Javonte is by far the best blocker from the rb position.Those who say he cant catch
or block obviously doesnt watch tape,if you prefer somebody else thats fine,but
dont put a label on him that is inaccurate

They had this approach last year and missed out on Taylor, Akers, and Dobbins. They need to identify a top end RB they like and get him.

The retreads and Myles Gaskin is not going to cut it this year. I like Gaskin, but we can't go into the season with him as the planned solution.

this is right...there are several players I want at 6, and 18, and 36 and 50. Unfortunately, they only let us pick one player per pick.
