Round 4, Pick #17:  Zack Moss, RB, Utah

With the last of the quality running backs flying off the board, the Dolphins send a 5th and 6th round pick to Dallas to move up to select Moss.

Due to his physical style Moss battled injuries in college; thus allowing him to fall this far.  When healthy, Moss is a very physical runner who can protect the passer and catch the ball out of the backfield.

Overall, Moss fits in Miami because he can share time with recent FA pickup Jordan Howard and thus decrease the punishment he takes on a weekly basis.

Round 5, Pick #7:  Julian Blackmon, S, Utah

Even with just one year of experience at safety, Blackmon, a converted corner, showed great instincts for the position in 2019.  He is capable of playing either safety spot but his best role in Miami is as a free safety who can use his CB vision to read quarterbacks.
