Jonah Savaiinaea was selected by the Dolphins as the 37th pick after a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders. Analysts noted his impressive versatility as he played across multiple positions, showcasing his skills at right guard, right tackle, and left tackle over his college career. Despite some concerns regarding his run-blocking consistency, his technique and footwork stood out positively. Mel Kiper emphasized his ability to play guard efficiently, while Louis Riddick's praise pointed to All Pro potential. Nick Saban highlighted Savaiinaeaâs fit based on his skill set, particularly as an interior lineman, which could bolster Miami's offensive line.
"Allowed four sacks in 11 games this past year. ... The versatility to play both tackle and guard adds to his value for Miami. I think guard."
"You look at the Alamo Bowl last year where he played Alabama, he looked like an All Pro. This dude has got flex, he's got movement."
"I think a lot of people liked him as an interior player, playing inside at guard. ... I really like this player. I think that's a really good fit for Miami."
"His first year, he was most primarily a right guard. His second year, he was most primarily a right tackle. This past year, he led his total snap number at left tackle."
