Miami Dolphins Draft 2024: The Miami Dolphins took part in the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit with a focused strategy, hoping to bolster a squad that has reached the playoffs in consecutive years under head coach Mike McDaniel.
A series of calculated picks were made by the Dolphins, led by Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle.
Due to a tampering scandal, the Dolphins missed out on a third-round pick. Here’s how it played out:
The 21st pick in Round 1 is Chop Robinson, Edge, Penn State
Chop Robinson, a first-team All-Big 10 performer at Penn State in 2023, was the Dolphins’ first first-round pick in two years.
Round 2, Pick 55 – Patrick Paul, T, Houston
Miami selected Patrick Paul in the second round of the draft. Standing over 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 331 pounds, Paul’s impressive size and experience with 44 college starts make him a potential cornerstone for the offensive line.
Round 4, Pick 120: Jaylen Wright, RB, Tennessee
In the fourth round, the Dolphins selected Tennessee running back Jaylen Wright. Wright’s 4.38 40-yard dash time adds to the quickness of the Dolphins’ backfield.
158th pick – Mohamed Kamara, LB, Colorado State
In the fifth round, the Dolphins selected Mohamed Kamara, a Colorado State linebacker known for his aggressive play and violent hands.
Malik Washington, WR, Virginia – Pick 184 (from Chicago) in Round 6
In order to address their need for a WR3, the Dolphins selected Malik Washington in the sixth round. Washington’s ability to navigate traffic and secure catches in tough situations will help solidify the Dolphins’ receiving corps.
Patrick McMorris, S, Cal – Pick 198 in Round 6
Despite some inconsistencies, Patrick McMorris, a versatile safety from California, could develop into a versatile Miami defender.
Tahj Washington, WR, USC – Round 7, Pick 241
The Dolphins selected Tahj Washington, a slot receiver from USC, as their final pick. Washington has the potential to make a positive impact on special teams, but he also has a unique off-field profile as a talented chef with a YouTube channel.
This year’s draft picks for the Miami Dolphins reflect a clear vision for reinforcing their squad in order to continue and expand upon their recent playoff success. With these new additions, the Dolphins should be able to make deeper runs in the coming seasons.
