Hyde: What's not to like about DeVante Parker?

What's not to like? They needed a young playmaker. They got a young playmaker. They needed a big receiver who battles for the football. They got a big receiver known for just that.

The Dolphins entered Thursday night's draft needing a No. 1 target for quarterback Ryan Tannehill to throw the ball to after an offseason of change to his receivers. They drafted Louisville's DeVante Parker, who can be all that.

Good fit. Good fortune he was available. Good night all around for the Dolphins, especially since it looked like there was no obvious back-up plan if he had been gone.
