The Miami Dolphins had quite a few options when their turn came to make a selection in this year’s first round of the NFL draft. They could have selected a quarterback, an offensive lineman, linebacker or they could have traded the pick, to accumulate more draft capital to use later.
Instead, they chose former University of Clemson defensive lineman Christian Wilkins, and I for one am very pleased with this move. From his soirées into the opposing team’s backfield to dump quarterbacks and ballcarriers for losses during his four years as a starter to his exuberant stage dive of league commissioner Roger Goodell when the Dolphins announced his selection, this is a guy who goes all out, all the time, and the kind of cornerstone type guy you use to build a team around.
