NFL Draft 2021: The damned Dolphins get it done.

Ah, right, another reminder that the Dolphins have a golden opportunity presented to them on a silver platter with this draft layout.

As much as we’d rather forget it, Miami has a pretty good chance to get a “not your typical running back” a little bit higher than running backs usually go these days.

Harris, a tackle-breaking behemoth, could finally fill the gap that’s existed in Miami for years, where Jordan Howard and Kenyan Drake weren’t exactly solution-oriented choices.

Reading Harris’ numbers from 2020 will make your brain leak out of your ear (especially if you don’t want him landing within the division), but we’ll list them here for you anyway: 251 attempts, 1,466 yards, 26 TDs, and 5.8 YAC.

If he’s not Derrick Henry, he’s at least in the vicinity. Maybe he’s Derrick Hank.

The Washington Football Team has assembled the most disruptive young defensive line in the game by using top pick after top pick on assertive pass rushers, captained by Chase Young.

Now it’s time to revamp the linebacking corps, a group bereft of the same level of talent, led by Cole Holcomb and Jon Bostic.

Owusu-Koramoah believes he can drift to multiple positions at the NFL level, occasionally leaking back to play a safety role, but most of his coverage work was done in the slot collegiately.

We think WFT makes a bet on another durable and flexible defensive captain here instead of taking a swing on a QB.
