3 biggest Dolphins 2024 NFL Draft mistakes
The Dolphins plugged major holes on their roster in the 2024 NFL Draft. But did they make some questionable picks later in the draft?
The Miami Dolphins will be looking for revenge against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024. The Chiefs ended an exciting season for the Dolphins in a 26-7 loss in a Wild Card game that featured frigid temperatures. Miami looked like it couldn’t handle the cold and was decisively sent home. If the Dolphins want to seriously compete in the AFC this season, it would help them a great deal to earn home field advantage in the playoffs.
With that goal in mind, Miami has made some solid moves throughout the offseason. The Dolphins have invested significant resources in maintaining their offensive power and seriously bringing their defense back up to snuff.
In free agency, the Dolphins added tight ends Jody Fortson and Jonnu Smith as well as center Aaron Brewer. On defense, they added Teair Tartt, Jordyn Brooks, Jordan Poyer, and a slew of rotational players on the defensive line
Miami filled several positions of need with picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. However, there were a few areas where the Dolphins could have improved their draft haul.
Here are three of the biggest NFL draft mistakes from the Miami Dolphins.
Not prioritizing offensive line in the first round
Credit where it’s due, Miami did select tackle Patrick Paul in the second round. However, offensive line feels like a bigger need than edge defender. It would have been nice to see Miami flop the order of their first two picks, selecting o-line first then circling back to EDGE.
