DAVIE (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Dolphins had plenty of options when it was their turn to pick in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
A rebuilding project has left the Dolphins perceived as NFL lightweights, and to help change that, they used their top pick on a 315-pound defensive tackle, Clemson’s Christian Wilkins.
The Dolphins went 7-9 in 2018, and after shedding numerous veterans from the roster this offseason, they’re widely expected to be worse this year under new coach Brian Flores. The Dolphins’ odds for winning the Super Bowl are 250 to 1, longest in the NFL.
