Miami Dolphins NFL draft picks 2024: Full list of team's round-by-round selections
Here is a 2024 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the Miami Dolphins:
Round 1 (No. 21 overall) — Chop Robinson, LB, Penn State: His eye-popping athleticism – the 6-3, 254-pounder ran a sub-4.5 40 at the combine – doesn't necessarily align with his production, which included 9½ sacks and 17½ TFLs in two seasons with the Nittany Lions. But he should be a real asset to a defense that was stripped of OLBs Bradley Chubb (knee) and Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) late last season. And TBD how ready those two will be for Week 1 this year.

Round 2 (55) — Patrick Paul, OT, Houston: He could be the successor to veteran LT Terron Armstead and might need a year to prepare for that job. Paul's specialty in three years on the left side for the Cougars was pass protection. Draft tracker
Round 4 (120, from Rams through Steelers and Eagles) — Jaylen Wright, RB, Tennessee: The Dolphins' pedigree for speed makes it no surprise they took Wright at this spot. He was a threat to go the distance against SEC competition with the Volunteers. He's been compared to Jerome Ford with his scheme versatility and can work on all three downs. He could make for an impressive 1-2 combo with De'Von Achane in Miami. Draft tracker
Round 5 (158) — Mohamed Kamara, DE, Colorado State: After signing Shaq Barrett in free agency and drafting Chop Robinson in Round 1, the Dolphins are doubling down even more at edge with Kamara. He's a physical, high-motor pass rusher who consistently works offensive lineman despite his 6-foot-1, 248-pound frame. Miami could've bolstered more pressing needs at this spot. Draft tracker
Round 6 (184, from Bears) — Malik Washington, WR, Virginia: This is one of the best value picks of Round 6. Washington is a reliable route runner with good ball skills and explosive movement after the catch. He's an ideal slot receiver and fits in well with Miami despite his smaller size for the position.

Round 6 (198) — Patrick McMorris, S, Cal: McMorris has ideal size for the position and coverage skills to stick in the league. His tackling leaves a lot to be desired for the position, though, and he struggles against the run game. For Miami, he could work well with his play recognition and NFL-level athleticism. Draft tracker
Round 7 (241) — Tahj Washington, WR, USC: Another round, another wide receiver with the last name Washington for Miami on Day 3 of the draft. His small frame (174 pounds) at 5-foot-9 likely took him out of consideration for many teams. He projects best as a slot starter but the Dolphins just took a slot wideout in Round 6. This is a good value pick but at a position that's already solidified. Draft tracker
