The 2024 NFL Draft has concluded, with 257 players chosen to enter the NFL after a busy selection process from April 25 to April 27.
Now, let’s delve into a comprehensive review of the Miami Dolphins’ draft, providing insights into each pick they made over the weekend and a detailed analysis of their top selection.
If you’re eager to learn more about the players your team picked up, you can still grab the 2024 NFL Draft Guide. It offers extended scouting reports, draft evaluations, offseason updates, exclusive advanced statistics, PFF grades, and a wealth of additional information.
Robinson, ranked 40th on the PFF big board, might be seen as a slight reach, but his potential is undeniable. With a combination of power and speed in his pass-rushing abilities, he’s shown promise, boasting a 93.9 pass-rush grade over the past two seasons, second only to the Colts’ Laiatu Latu among FBS edge defenders. If Robinson reaches his full potential and Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips recover from their injuries, Miami’s edge group could become dominant.
In selecting Patrick Paul from Houston, Miami may have found a potential successor to Terron Armstead. Paul’s impressive length and movement skills were evident, leading all FBS tackles in 2023 with a 91.5 PFF pass-blocking grade. Given the importance of pass protection with Tua Tagovailoa under center, this could be a significant addition for the Dolphins’ offense.
Wright brings speed to Miami’s roster, boasting a career-best 91.0 PFF grade in 2023, topping all backs in the SEC with over 7.4 yards per carry, the second-highest rate among Power-Five backs.
Adding to their speed-oriented approach, Kamara, despite his limited frame, has been a productive pass-rusher for Colorado State. Over the last three years, he ranks in the 94th percentile of qualifying edge rushers in pass-rush grade on true pass sets.
Washington, the second-highest-graded receiver in 2023, led the FBS in receptions over the past two seasons. Despite his stature, he possesses impressive movement skills and solid ability at the catch point, offering value in the receiving game and on special teams.
While not ranked on the PFF big board or the consensus board, McMorris has consistently earned PFF grades above 70.0 in each of the past two seasons, particularly excelling with a 73.3 PFF coverage grade last year and 21 defensive stops.
Another Washington in the mix, despite his size, has shown remarkable productivity at the college level. Averaging 3.06 yards per route run in his final year at USC, he dropped just 1.7% of the catchable passes thrown his way and earned an 80.4 PFF grade against man coverage.
