Why the Dolphins selected Christian Wilkins: ‘Tough, smart, leader, prototype player’

The Miami Dolphins have made their first pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, and, more importantly, the first pick of the head coach Brian Flores and general manager Chris Grier era (or the fully empowered Chris Grier to be more precise). Adding Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins with the 13th overall selection, the Dolphins added a piece to their defensive line who should immediately improve the play of the group. He is a versatile piece who can be used in multiple ways on the line of scrimmage, and he could be exactly what the Dolphins need.
