You expect questions with any draft pick in any year. You just don’t want this question with the Miami Dolphins top picks this year:
Can they help much this coming season?
You see the speed of first-round pick Chop Robinson. You see the size of second-round pick Patrick Paul. You don’t doubt each can create good NFL careers for themselves.
But can they realistically impact much this season?
There’s a salary-cap tsunami coming at this team for its recent ways.

Dear Amy: My brother and I are both in our 70s. We’ve only spoken once in the last three years.
We lived miles apart for much of our lives, but still kept in touch.

UCF continues to master the transfer portal after Friday night’s announcement of a commitment from USC transfer defensive back Tre’Quon Fegans.
The 6-foot, 180-pound Fegans is a 4-star from Thompson (Ala.) High School, spending last season at USC. He appeared in six games for the Trojans, primarily as a backup and on special teams, totaling 9 tackles.

Mike Stocker/Sun SentinelSteve Bousquet, Sun Sentinel editor and columnist.
On a sunny, cloudless day, citizens from all walks of life stood side-by-side with the political operators who worked for Graham or with him.
They recalled Graham’s essential decency and his love of Florida, even as they dredged up memories of decades-old political battles.
Some recalled the landmark Florida Supreme Court case of Brown v.
