Why Dolphins' hopes of drafting Tua Tagovailoa square measure alive and well
Miami has kissed a great deal of frogs while looking for its own prince -- most of whom did not last more than only a small number of matches since the beginning. The nearest Miami has begun to substituting Marino within the previous twenty years was Ryan Tannehill, a former top-10 draft choice that showed promise within his first few seasons prior to failing to further grow as a participant -- finally resulting in the Dolphins' decision to part ways with him last offseason.
Along with the Dolphins are once more searching for the answer.
But together with the Dolphins two games before the Cincinnati Bengals in the win column, landing the No. 1 overall selection now looks like a pipe dream. And with it move the odds of drafting Tagovailoa -- appropriate?
Wrong.
Miami deserves credit for you, while the flip is a present from the soccer gods.
The Dolphins' massive pooling of draft funds, especially first-round selections, has set them able to flex the draft sequence to their own will -- rather than pulling Cincinnati from holding the best pick. If Washington or New York team winds up in the No. 2 hole, Miami can certainly swing a bargain. Is that perfect? No, certainly not. However, if that is the cost to cover favorable momentum and player development, so be it. This is not a luxury the great majority of NFL teams are able to afford in rebuilding years. Nonetheless, it is for the Dolphins due to the arsenal of selections that they've at this disposal through their transactions of Minkah Fitzpatrick and Laremy Tunsil.
Another development is the coming of LSU's Joe Burrow on the spectacle. Don't discount the chance of this Cincinnati Bengals preferring to goal Burrow, given his standing as a two-year rookie, his expansion within two years at LSUhis roots as a Ohio prep prospect and his eligibility to take part in the Reese's Senior Bowl, that will give him a massive chance to create a solid impression on a Bengals training staff who'll get first crack in coaching the sport.
If Cincinnati drafts Burrow, Miami will make its movement for Tagovailoa. And when Cincinnati drafts Tagovailoa, Miami should happily make its movement for Burrow.
Even the"gloom and doom" of Miami being from position to repair the quarterback place over 2 wins is lost and, above all, inaccurate.
