For the first time in Miami Dolphins’ team history, the NFL draft didn’t see them make a selection in the first 100 picks. After 101 names were called during the draft’s first three rounds on Thursday and Friday nights, Miami finally made their selection.
General Manager Chris Grier made his decision and took Georgia’s Channing Tindall with the Dolphins’ pick at No. 102, making him the first rookie of their 2022 class. The inside linebacker and national champion recorded 67 total tackles, including 7.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks in 2021.
Grier and the Dolphins are scheduled to pick next at No. 125 on Saturday. As one would expect, Dolphins’ Twitter immediately reacted to the selection.
