2019 NFL mock draft: Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins go early
By Brad Weiss
59. . Defensive Tackle. Clemson. Christian Wilkins. 13. player
The Miami Dolphins enter the 2019 offseason with a new quarterback under center, as they traded away Ryan Tannehill to the Tennessee Titans. In his spot, the Dolphins are going to roll with another Ryan, although this one is affectionately referred to as “Fitz Magic.”
Yes, the Dolphins enter 2019 with Ryan Fitzpatrick as their quarterback, so you know they are good for at least one incredible victory, and a bunch of head-scratching losses this season. While Fitzpatrick has the ability to put up big numbers once in a while, he is way to inconsistent to think this team is making it out of the cellar in the AFC East this year.
On the other side of the ball, Miami needs some help up front, and Christian Wilkins would be a nice addition at No. 13 overall. Wilkins is a guy who was absolutely dominant during his time at Clemson, leading the team to two national titles, and would be a nice building block for this defense moving forward.
Miami is not going to be playing meaningful games this season, and are likely headed to the top of the 2020 NFL Draft, where they will select their new franchise quarterback. It will be interesting to see what Brian Flores can do in his first season as an NFL head coach, because he comes from the Bill Belichick coaching tree, which has not yielded quality head coaches so far.
