What they’re saying about the Dolphins’ 2021 NFL draft

Here’s what NFL draft analysts are saying about the Miami Dolphins’ draft after the first round, which saw the team select Alabama wide receiver Jaylen Waddle with the No. 6 pick and University of Miami’s Jaelan Phillips with the No. 18 pick.

ESPN.com (Mel Kiper on listing Dolphins as a winner on Day 1): “I had Waddle behind his teammate DeVonta Smith, but he was my fifth-ranked prospect overall, and I can’t quibble with Miami preferring Waddle. He is electric with the ball in his hands, and he’ll really help Tua Tagovailoa improve his yards per attempt.
