History might repeat itself, but usually not right away.
The Dolphins could learn that the hard way Thursday night, when they settle in for the franchise’s 52nd draft.
Yes, the best-case scenario is for the Dolphins, picking 22nd and sometime in the 10 p.m. hour, to luck out for the second time in as many years. For a Laremy Tunsil-type player, like linebacker Reuben Foster or defensive end Derek Barnett, to fortuitously slip to them.
A wish is not a plan, however. And the Dolphins better have contingencies.
Like, a lot of them.
