Miami Dolphins. Tua Tagovailoa. 1. player. 59. . QB

They nearly won a game, which might have been the worst thing that could have happened to the Miami Dolphins. Down 17-3 to the Washington Redskins, Miami benched Josh Rosen and inserted Ryan Fitzpatrick (again). The bearded wonder led them on two scoring drives and suddenly the score was 17-16.

However, head coach Brian Flores decided he didn’t want to go for the tie and instead called for a two-point conversion. Washington stopped them and they ended up falling to 0-5, which allows them to stay here and draft Tua Tagovailoa out of Alabama.

Miami needs a signal-caller they can believe in and Tua could be exactly what this franchise needs to finally take the next step.

Justin Herbert. 2. player. 56. . QB. Cincinnati Bengals

Another team needing to make a change under center is the Cincinnati Bengals. Andy Dalton isn’t a bad quarterback but he hasn’t been able to take the team where they want to go. This season, they’ve started out 0-6 and Dalton continues to start the games slow and has far too many incompletions on a weekly basis.

For that reason, they take Justin Herbert out of Oklahoma with the No. 2 pick. His selection gives them the most hope they have had since 2003 when they took Carson Palmer first overall. Hopefully, this one doesn’t end with Herbert threatening to retire due to the team’s inability to build around him.
