Best Pick: Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama

There is no question that the highest picked player for the Dolphins is also their best pick.

Tua Tagovailoa was chosen to be the face of the franchise on a team that has struggled at the quarterback position ever simce Dan Marino retired. He changes the way Miami will play the game and makes them an instant threat in the AFC East. T

agovailoa has a lot of pressure on him, but he did at Alabama as well and thrved. He is not one to shy away from any situation and he will be a great NFL QB if he stays healthy.

Worst Pick: Robert Hunt, OT, Louisiana-Lafayette

Is anyone really happy with this pick for the Dolphins? It seems a bit questionable. Sure, Miami is rebuilding their entire offensive line, but Hunt feels more like a depth piece than a starter in thr NFL.

A move to guard may be in the picture for him, but if that happens he will compete with fellow draftee Solomon Kindley. The Georgia prospect may be even better than Hunt though, making this selection a true head scratcher for Brian Flores.

Final Grade: B

The Miami Dolphins wanted Tua Tagovailoa and they got him. They bolstered their offensive line and added to their defensive depth. They addressed needs all over the field. Miami is much better now than they were on Wednesday morning, and the draft was incredible overall for the Dolphins.
