Dolphins' draft sets up Tua Tagovailoa for success with speedy playmakers

MIAMI -- Tua Tagovailoa unleashed a toothy smile of enthusiasm and a yell of "let's go" Thursday night as he watched the Miami Dolphins select the draft's fastest wide receiver at No. 6, Alabama's Jaylen Waddle.

It was a glimpse into Tagovailoa's excitement for a reunion with his former teammate, but he also was picturing what Waddle will do for the Dolphins' offense and his own game.

There is debate over whether the Dolphins should have picked Waddle or Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith at No. 6 as well as the team's failure to draft a top-tier running back again, but the Dolphins still had a strong draft weekend.
