First, some words rarely written about the Miami Dolphins in recent years: They got something right.
They picked Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa fifth overall. It was the smart pick. It was the right pick. It was, multiple team sources insist, the pick Miami was always going to make once Tagovailoa's physical health proved unproblematic.
When stories began to circulate in the media that the Dolphins might not select the Alabama quarterback, "no one believed it was anyone other than Tua," one general manager explained.
But more important for Miami's future, some team executives think that when we look back at this draft, it won't be the first overall pick, Joe Burrow, who will be viewed as the best passer.
