A popular sentiment among Miami Dolphins fans leading up to the past NFL draft was that they would either use their second first-round pick (No. 18), or trade up from the fourth selection of the second round to take a running back before the three most wanted at the position were selected.
After snagging dynamic Alabama receiver Jaylen Waddle with the No. 6 pick, reuniting him with former college quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Miami addressed its pass-rushing need with its second first-rounder, keeping Miami Hurricanes standout Jaelan Phillips in South Florida.
The Pittsburgh Steelers grabbed Alabama’s Najee Harris with the 24th pick.
