If they had Awuzie rated 1 spot ahead of Taco, not going BPA was a smart move one would think considering they landed BOTH players. That was a DEEP draft at CB, and their draft strategy made a ton of sense. It worked.
If you draft Awuzie at #28, Taco wouldn't have lasted until #60. Miami was going to take Taco at #22 if Charles Harris wasn't available at their pick.
Dalvin Cook was the one player remaining that they had a 1st round grade on in 2017. You're not going to take an RB in the 1st round in back to back years, especially after you just took one in the top 5 the year before. That's idiotic.
I don't think they debated Awuzie or Taco at 28. From all indications the CB they were debating was Kevin King, who frankly, has been so-so thus far like Taco. So it's not like they missed the boat there.
