MIAMI -- Chris Grier learns from his scars.
The Miami Dolphins general manager saw how quickly a depleted pass rush can tank a season in 2023, when his team lost its top three pass-rushers (Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb and Andrew Van Ginkel) to season-ending injuries. So, he spent his first first-round pick since 2021 on Penn State pass-rusher Chop Robinson at No. 21 overall.
Grier told reporters Thursday that Robinson was the highest-rated player on their board at the time, and someone they'd been targeting since early in the draft process.
