Devon Achane Named Dolphins 'Most Interesting' Draft Pick
When the Miami Dolphins drafted Texas A&M Aggies running back Devon Achane in the third round with the No. 84 overall pick, the general reaction was the same - even more speed to an already blisteringly fast Dolphins offense.
There of course has been some debate as to whether or not running back was a position of need for Miami but it is hard to deny just how fun of an addition he will be. So much so that CBS Sports labeled the pick of Achane as Miami's most interesting pick, giving it a grade of B+.
Miami did re-sign both of its free agent running backs, Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson, a duo that combined for 1,283 yards and six touchdowns. However, Achane could add a new wrinkle to the mix for the Dolphins.
Achane rushed for 1,102 yards and eight touchdowns, but it is his 4.32 40-yard dash time that is most alluring about his fit with the Dolphins. Speed is already the name of the game for Miami with Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Mostert all running 4.29, 4.37, and 4.32 40-yard dash times respectively.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has not been subtle about his love of Achane and what he can bring to his offense, as he will likely come into an offense where he can contribute right away while also being a game-changer for Miami in the return game.
