Miami Dolphins draft picks 2024: Full list of Mike McDaniels' selections
Mike McDaniels and the Miami Dolphins entered the 2024 NFL Draft in a better spot than last year. After losing their first-round pick last year for tampering in trying to get Tom Brady, at least they featured on the first night this year.
However, the questions that they sought to answer with the GOAT still remain at the quarterback position. Last season they made the playoffs but lost the AFC East top seed and then the Wild Card round in consecutive weeks. There's a feeling they underachieved despite having a great running game and a wide receiver group led by Tyreek Hill.
The only hope the Miami Dolphins have is that they use the 2024 NFL Draft to strengthen around Tua Tagovailoa. They entered with a pick apiece in the first and second rounds each. But they do not pick again until the fifth round.
They lost their third-round pick for the tampering charges which were highlighted before. And the fourth-rounder went to the Denver Broncos in acquiring Bradley Chubb.
They did begin with two sixth-round picks, with one pick coming from the Chicago Bears when they sent Dan Feeney in the other direction.
Their final pick was their solitary one in the seventh round. Here is the Miami Dolphins' beginning slate in the 2024 NFL Draft.
- Round 1, Pick 21 overall
- Round 2, Pick 55 overall
- Round 5, Pick 158 overall
- Round 6, Pick 184 overall (from Bears)
- Round 6, Pick 198 overall
- Round 7, Pick 241 overall
Here is the full list of their selections in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Miami Dolphins draft picks 2024: Round 1
#21 - Chop Robinson, LB, Penn State
The Dolphins had the firepower on the offensive side with the running and the passing game but they needed help on the defensive side, and that is how Mike McDaniels decided.
Miami chose Chop Robinson in their first round to ensure that defense gives their explosive offense the best chance to win.
Miami Dolphins draft picks 2024: Round 2
#55 - Patrick Paul, OT, Houston
After focusing on defense, the Dolphins added depth to their offensive line to protect Tua Tagovailoa. Amid a cascade of trades elsewhere, they stayed pat where they began and drafted Patrick Paul out of Houston. He could learn from and become the successor for the veteran left tackle Terron Armstead.

Miami Dolphins draft picks 2024: Round 4
#120 - Jaylen Wright, RB, Tennessee
After solidifying their offensive line and adding a linebacker, the Miami Dolphins turned to their offense. And even though they have a good running game, they added even more depth by getting Jaylen Wright from Tennessee.
Miami Dolphins draft picks 2024: Round 5
#158 - Mohamed Kamara, EDGE, Colorado State
Reverting to the defense in the fifth round, the Miami Dolphins selected Edge Mohamed Kamara out of Colorado State. This will allow the defense to complement an explosive offense and add depth for deep playoff runs.
Miami Dolphins draft picks 2024: Round 6
#184 - Malik Washington, WR, Virginia
Mike McDaniels likes himself a good wide receiver and drafted Malik Washington in the sixth round. It was a surprise he fell so far as he had been projected to go much higher, having been a star weapon at Virginia despite uncertainty at the quarterback position.
#198 - Patrick McMorris, S, California
Keeping with the theme of alternating between offensive and defensive picks, the Miami Dolphins addressed their secondary needs next. Having added a linebacker and an edge earlier, the second pick of the sixth round for the franchise was made to ensure protection against deep coverage by getting safety Patrick McMorris out of California.
Miami Dolphins draft picks 2024: Round 7
#241 - Tahj Washington, WR, USC
With the final pick of their 2024 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins selected Tahj Washington out of USC. Another prospect whom some had pegged at an earlier round fell in their laps and he is expected to compete with Washington to cement a place on the roster.
