The Miami Dolphins have been busy in the first week of NFL free agency, securing contract agreements with veterans while also making time to attend the pro day of the talent-rich Georgia football program ahead of the draft in late April. Key decision makers from the Dolphins, including general manager Chris Grier, coach Mike McDaniel, and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, were present at the Georgia pro day on Wednesday.
Georgia has several promising draft prospects that could interest Miami, including safety Malaki Starks, edge rusher Mykel Williams, linebacker Jalon Walker, and offensive guard Tate Ratledge. The Dolphins have already filled positions of need through free agency, but they are still considering drafting players in those roles. Grier typically takes a best-player-available approach in the draft.
On defense, the Dolphins have signed free agents at safety and have restructured Bradley Chubb’s contract as he returns from injury. They also have young edge rushers in Jaelan Phillips, Chop Robinson, and Mohamed Kamara. At linebacker, Miami has brought back Tyrel Dodson and at guard, they have signed James Daniels.
Georgia has additional prospects who could go in the mid-to-late rounds of the draft, including guard Dylan Fairchild, center Jared Wilson, linebacker Smael Mondon Jr., defensive lineman Nazir Stackhouse, running back Trevor Etienne, and tight end Ben Yurosek. The Dolphins’ strong presence at Georgia’s pro day suggests their interest in both offensive and defensive prospects from the program.
