Briefly

The Miami Dolphins' management, including General Manager Chris Grier and Coach Mike McDaniel, discussed acquiring Arizona guard Jonah Savaiinaea via a trade that involved multiple picks. Grier asserted that Savaiinaea's size and versatility make him an ideal fit, expected to start at guard. Despite concerns about giving up valuable draft picks, Grier remained confident in Savaiinaea's potential, while McDaniel highlighted the need to strengthen the offensive line. Both Grier and McDaniel indicated that they are continuing to address other needs, such as cornerback, as the draft progresses.
Grier said Savaiinaea is expected to be a starter and will play guard. 'To have someone as big and athletic as he is to play four spots is key,' Grier said.
Grier emphasized his confidence, stating, 'Didn't weigh [on me] at all. This was a player we are very convicted on, his size, his power, his versatility.'
McDaniel highlighted, 'Something we identified a long time that needs to be our focus. Pass protection and run scheme is a great fit for him.'
Grier noted, 'I Never close any doors but I'm just going to focus on the draft and players we are adding to the team.'
