MIAMI (AP) — Anxious to keep quarterback Tua Tagovailoa healthy, the Miami Dolphins invested in more protection for him Friday.
Miami used a second-round pick to select offensive lineman Robert Hunt, a four-year starter for Louisiana-Lafayette at left guard, left tackle and right tackle.
The 6-foot-5, 323-pound Hunt and Southern Cal tackle Austin Jackson, acquired with Miami’s second first-round pick Thursday, will shore up an offensive line that could have four new starters in 2020.
The Dolphins also took Alabama defensive tackle Raekwon Davis in the second round. Their third-round pick — and their sixth among the NFL’s first 70 selections — was safety Brandon Jones, a three-year starter at Texas.
