MIAMI GARDENS — After the edge defender Thursday came the offensive tackle Friday for the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins selected Houston’s Patrick Paul in the second round of the NFL draft, pick No. 55. At 6-foot-7 1/2 and 331 pounds, Paul is an experienced left tackle with 44 college starts who was a first-team All-American Athletic Conference selection three years running. Paul tested well at the NFL scouting combine, running a 5.13-second 40-yard dash and bench pressing 30 reps. With his long arms, he is scouted as having pass-blocking skills that are ahead of his run blocking. “He was...

Quick thoughts from South Florida Sun Sentinel staffers on the Miami Dolphins‘ selection of edge rusher Chop Robinson in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. Chris Perkins, Dolphins Columnist I like the selection of an edge rusher. This is a solid pick, but unspectacular. Chop Robinson is regarded as someone with a quick first step but his immediate impact remains a question. Still, Miami needed an edge rusher and it got one. No argument here. David Furones, Dolphins Writer Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has said edge defender is his favorite position — a bit of a shocking admission...

MIAMI GARDENS — The last two first-round picks for the Miami Dolphins have now been pass rushers. The Dolphins selected Penn State edge defender Chop Robinson with the No. 21 pick in Thursday’s first round. It was the first time they picked in the draft’s opening round in three years, the last being Jaelan Phillips, the former Miami Hurricane edge rusher who was the Dolphins’ selection with the No. 18 pick in 2021 after they picked wide receiver Jaylen Waddle at 6 that year. With Phillips (Achilles) and fellow outside linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) rehabbing from season-ending injuries...

HOLLYWOOD — Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has a busy offseason, between his foundation’s work with an array of charitable events, his training regimen and contract-extension talks. Tagovailoa has begun working with passing coach and former Dolphins quarterback John Beck and his organization, 3DQB, based in Southern California. The specifics of it, Tagovailoa is keeping tight to the vest. “For now, that’s all internal,” Tagovailoa said Thursday before his third annual Luau with Tua charity event at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. “I want to keep that between me and John,...

The Miami Dolphins’ next major move in free agency could be for one of the biggest star wide receivers of the past decade. Odell Beckham Jr. is visiting the Dolphins on Thursday, according to multiple reports, including CBS Sports and Bleacher Report. Beckham, 31, is a three-time Pro Bowl selection, but those were in his first three seasons in the NFL, from 2014 to 2016, as an elite talent out of LSU that was taken with the No. 12 pick 10 years ago by the New York Giants. A pair of ankle injuries slowed the 5-foot-11, 200-pound pass-catcher in 2017, but he bounced back for 1,000-yard...

Whoever the Miami Dolphins’ new defensive coordinator is will have to find a new safeties coach. Joe Kasper is leaving the Dolphins to take the same role with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to NFL Network on Friday night. Kasper bolts from Miami after one season, following former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who took that same post with his hometown Eagles in January. The safeties coach also goes back to Philadelphia, where he just was before joining the Dolphins. Kasper was defensive quality control coach for the Eagles in 2021 and 2022. In Miami, Kasper worked with versatile...

MOBILE, Ala. — The transition continued on Tuesday for James Williams, the former University of Miami standout safety. Williams, who will play for the American team against the National team in Saturday’s 1 p.m. Senior Bowl, practiced at outside linebacker the entire day at the Senior Bowl practice at the University of South Alabama. “I’m adjusting to it,” said Williams, who, at 6 foot 4, 230 pounds had a team-best 73 tackles, two forced fumbles and fumble recovery this past season. “I’m for sure adjusting to it. I’m new to it. Today was my first day fully in the box, so I had to really get...

MIAMI GARDENS — It was one of the most bizarre scenes I’ve ever seen in a losing playoff locker room. For a few brief minutes Saturday night, not long, perhaps three or four minutes, one small corner of the Miami Dolphins’ locker room had such a raucous buzz you’d have thought they’d just won their first playoff game in 23 years. It turns out Dolphins linebacker Justin Houston, who had been with the team for a mere four days, was hosting visitors — longtime friends Chris Jones, the Kansas City All Pro defensive tackle who just helped the Chiefs smoke the Dolphins and end their Super Bowl...
