The Dolphins drafted Xavien Howard at 38 and he was my 38 player in draft. Good player, don't like trading a 4th

Dolphins take Baylor CB Xavien Howard. The type of CB Vance Joseph covets, and he's got him.

Mel Kiper Jr was a big fan of Xavien Howard, specifically mentioned him as a starting-caliber player Dolphins could get in 2nd
