The Miami Dolphins can’t go an entire draft without drafting a cornerback and in round four with two selections, the Dolphins should do exactly that.

Isaac Taylor-Stuart is a mid-round talent out of USC and could be a good project for Brian Flores to develop. The Dolphins are deep with talent at the position but they could always use more players and with the uncertainty surrounding Xavien Howard (we are assuming he stays) the Dolphins still need to be on the cautious side in case Howard should get injured.

More. 2 players that should get extended before "X". light

With the Dolphins second pick in the 4th round, a selection they obtained by trading their 2020 5th round pick to the Steelers in April, the Dolphins could go in just about any direction they want to. So far they have addressed the defensive line, safety position, running back, and now corner but they still haven’t addressed the edge that could be a priority in next year’s draft if the Dolphins don’t find a solution with Emmanuel Ogbah.

Washington edge rusher Zion Tupuolo-Fetui could be a target if he falls into round four. Tupuolo-Fetui is ranked on most draft experts early top 100 prospects which put him right on the edge of the 4th round. A great season will assuredly drive his stock up but he could also be affected by other players who rise as well.
