The 2024 NFL draft is over, and the Miami Dolphins are hoping their seven-player class can help them take that next step and get over the hump in the playoffs.
The strong safety position has been a revolving door for the Miami Dolphins in recent years. After allowing Eric Rowe to walk in free agency, the team signed DeShon Elliott to a one-year deal to fill the role in 2023.
The Miami Dolphins entered the 2024 NFL draft without much safety depth on the roster. While they have a rising star in Jevon Holland and signed former Pro Bowler Jordan Poyer to start alongside him, the only other safety on the roster last week was Elijah Campbell, a career backup and special teamer.
The Miami Dolphins entered the NFL Draft with six picks, which was one of the fewest in the league. With the Dolphins having no picks in the 3rd or 4th round going in, it was considered important they get impact players with their first two picks or try to acquire more picks.
Every prospective NFL draft pick waits for their phone to ring with a team on the other line. But when the Miami Dolphins called up Cal safety Patrick McMorris to tell him he’d be taken with one of their sixth-round picks, he immediately hung up.
The Miami Dolphins used their second of two sixth-round picks to add some much-needed depth at safety, taking Patrick McMorris from the University of California.
Cal safety Patrick McMorris flipped on his TV at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning to watch the final day of the NFL Draft and waited until the early afternoon before his cell phone finally rang.
The Miami Dolphins have made their second selection of the 2024 NFL Draft’s sixth round. The Miami Dolphins used the eighth pick in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft to select Virginia wide receiver Malik Washington.
Safety Patrick McMorris, who spent his final college season as a starter in Cal's secondary, was invited to the NFL Combine, which indicates NFL teams are interested in him. However, he probably did not help his draft status with his performance at the Combine in Indianapolis on Friday.
