The Dolphins add pass rushing depth in the NFL draft and address their need at receiver

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — After losing a handful key contributors in free agency and releasing several more to save money, the Miami Dolphins used the NFL draft to add depth with players they feel can develop into starters. We’re all about having the best team possible to win games this season.” The Dolphins used the 21st overall pick to select Penn State linebacker Chop Robinson, who might need to become an immediate contributor while linebackers Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb rehab season-ending injuries from 2023. We just get the guys in the building and let them prove that themselves.” PASS RUSHING DEPTH The Dolphins had more immediate holes than pass rusher, but they did need depth behind Chubb and Phillips and with linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel leaving in free agency. “All is on the table, not because there’s a hole, more because we’re going to coach this guy to be the best player he can be,” McDaniel said, “and we know he wants to be great.” The Dolphins feel Paul can be a swing tackle who can learn under offensive line coach Butch Barry and veteran right tackle Terron Armstead, who is expected to retire after the 2024 season.
