The Miami Dolphins used their third-round selection to address a position that could be a need on the offensive side of the ball after taking cornerback Cam Smith in the second round.
General manager Chris Grier used pick No. 84 on Texas A&M running back Devon Achane – the fastest running back in this year’s draft.
Dolphins fans took to social media to share their opinions on the pick, and the reviews were all over the place, which is to be expected.

Devon Achane in a Mike McDaniel offense feels dangerous. Eye-opening pick by the Miami Dolphins.

Well no complaints here.
Got one of the RBs I wanted in Achane.#FinsUp

The Dolphins offense is don't-leave-your-couch television with the addition of Achane. Anyone can score from anywhere with that amount of team speed.

With Devon Achane I guess the Dolphins are building around Tua's ability to get the ball out quick. Hope it works out for his sake

Devon Achane is an electric playmaker this offense is SCARY

No reason to draft a running back when the offensive line is non existent!!! The Dolphins draft so far is garbage!! Grier does not know what the hell he is doing!!

If the dolphins don’t get Darnell with this pick idk what they are doing

Dolphins got good value from their picks but why. Both are great additions, but to areas where it's not needed. I don't understand on passing on tight end and Oline with both picks.

I’m not a GM, but I do know what was the biggest needs for the Miami dolphins; Guard, and another tackle, or just in general a tackle because armstead can’t stay healthy.
They pass up on O’Cyrus torrence AND Dawand Jones.
DONE watching them draft. I can’t do it.
