With the No. 22 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select pass-rusher Charles Harris out of the University of Missouri

Miami Dolphins

Pete Prisco's Grade: B+

This is another pass rusher the scouts liked more than the draftniks. They had to get pass-rush help.

Instant analysis 

The Dolphins had one of the worst pass rushes in the NFL last season (they finished tied for 19th in total sacks but their Adjusted Sack Rate was second-to-last in the NFL) and added an instant upgrade in Harris, who is the latest in what is becoming an increasingly long line of Missouri pass-rushers. He has a great first step off the snap of the ball and shows good bend getting around the edge. Crucially, he also has a nice spin back toward the inside to counter his speed moves. He may not have quite as high a ceiling as more twitchy pass-rush prospects, but his fluidity and instincts make him a candidate to make a greater instant impact. He showed a consistent ability to make plays in the backfield against both the run and the pass while at Missouri, and there's no reason that shouldn't continue at the next level. 

Fantasy impact

"It was clear the Dolphins were looking at a pass rusher, and Charles Harris should play right away, including being the eventual heir to Cameron Wake. Harris helps the Dolphins DST, but they're not worth drafting in most formats." -- Jamey Eisenberg

NFL comparison

Cliff Avril: A decade before Mizzou took over as an underrated producer of NFL defensive linemen, it was Purdue sending the likes of Akin Ayodele, Shaun Phillips, Ray Edwards, Rob Ninkovich, Avril and Ryan Kerrigan, among others. The 6-foot-3, 260-pound Avril posted impressive statistics throughout his career at Purdue but slipped to the third round of the 2008 draft in part because of his lack of ideal size and questions about his fit in the NFL. Since, his initial quickness and array of pass rush moves have translated into 73 career sacks and 29 forced fumbles over an nine-year career for the Lions and Seahawks.
