The rest of the picks listed are very talented, but not much of a worry for the Dolphins:

There are some other selections made by other teams that I thought were big upgrades for them, but if they’re not in the division they’re not as big of an issue.

Travon Walker – DE – Jaguars:

The #1 overall pick, many had Hutchinson going #1 but Walker was a surprise. The Jaguars have a reputation for developing defensive linemen very well. But it usually doesn’t add up to much besides the player going to get paid somewhere else after their rookie deal is up,

Derek Stingley – CB – Texans:

Stingley was the top corner in the country out of high school and had an electric freshman year at LSU, however, he was never able to recapture the magic from his first year the rest of his time playing college football.

Nevertheless, he is still a top-tier prospect although I see a small worry if Stingley peaked in college…

Zion Johnson – OL – Chargers:

For the past 2 years the Chargers have done a great job at rebuilding their offensive line, the addition of Zion Johnson just confirms they aren’t done protecting their franchise QB Justin Herbert.

Chargers already have top-end weapons and if they figure out OL they’re on the right track, but before this team does much damage they need to figure out the defense. Fast!
