NFL Power Rankings: A Post-2017 NFL Draft Look at All 32 Teams
By Peter Panacy
Key NFL Draft Additions: EDGE Charles Harris, ILB Raekwon McMillan, CB Cordrea Tankersley, OG Isaac Asiata
Defense needed to be the name of the Miami Dolphins’ game, after giving up a whopping 6,122 all-purpose yards last season — 29th most in the NFL.
And the Dolphins addressed this, landing three defensive standouts with their first three picks of the NFL Draft.
Missouri has been producing solid edge rushers for some time now, and Charles Harris is a nice find in Round 1. He should help the defensive front and take pressure off the secondary, which now has cornerback Cordrea Tankersley within its ranks.
Offensive guard Isaac Asiata should also start right away.
But the Dolphins still fall a spot in our NFL power rankings, largely due to the teams above them either being stronger all around or having a slightly better draft haul. The next team is a perfect example.
