Christian Wilkins’ next step
Two high-level performances from Wilkins on the inside should have the Dolphins feeling really good about their No. 1 pick from the 2019 draft. The success of the defense as a unit hasn’t come yet, but Wilkins is showcasing himself this season much more consistently and with better complementary pieces around him on defense, that figures to continue. The Dolphins have to hope their young team can continue to pick up new pieces of the playbook quickly so that they can play more flexible on defense for the overall success of the defense. But at the very least we know we’ve got an anchor in Wilkins up front.
