They didn’t make the honor roll (yet): Grading the Dolphins’ draft class

New York Times  

DAVIE, Fla. — Miami’s biggest draft success was also its biggest draft risk, Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. If he’s playing well in three years there’s a good chance the Dolphins’ 2020 draft class gets a good grade. Tagovailoa, perhaps Miami’s biggest risk/reward gamble ever as a first-round pick, is the main focal point of the second draft class under the duo of general manager Chris Grier and coach Brian Flores. Miami didn’t draft a running back but it traded to acquire running back Matt Breida from San Francisco, one of five trades the Dolphins made. Grade: B- RB: No selection Comment: Miami didn’t select a running back although some thought they might in the low first round or early second round.
