Miami Dolphins Pick at Number 21
The Miami Dolphins have options at pick number 21, considering their losses and needs. While defensive tackle options like Jerison Newton are tempting, the focus shifts to Cooper Dejean from Iowa due to his exceptional versatility and skill set. Choosing Dejean over a defensive tackle aims to bolster Miami's defensive capabilities, especially in strategy and adaptability on the field.
Vikings Strengthen Offensive Line at Pick 29
The Minnesota Vikings, after securing JJ McCarthy earlier in the draft, address their offensive line needs at pick 29 by selecting offensive lineman Graham Barton from Duke.

The decision to draft Barton reflects a strategic move to protect their young quarterback and enhance the team's overall performance.
