There might not be a better match in the 2021 NFL Draft than this.

Tua Tagovailoa has some decent weapons in Miami, but they could definitely upgrade at both WR and RB in the 2021 offseason.

Getting one of Tagovailoa’s top targets at Alabama — DeVonta Smith in this case — would go a long way toward helping him in his development.

Not that young QBs always need to have their college safety blankets to succeed in the NFL, but this is a pick that makes a ton of sense for both Tua and the Dolphins as a whole.

DeVonta Smith is a big-play threat who catches everything thrown his way.

Smith is a smooth receiver prospect with big-time speed and way more toughness than his size would indicate.
