Still, the Dolphins decided to use the last of their three first-round overall in the 2020 NFL draft Thursday to draft Auburn cornerback Noah Igbinoghene with the 30th pick, adding another athletic and versatile defensive back to their secondary.
“[He was the] best player on the board for us. We felt really good about Noah. We got to know him,” Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said of Igbinoghene, who was joined by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and offensive tackle Austin Jackson as Miami’s newest draft picks.
“This is a passing league as everyone says. You can never have enough corners … Brian came from a really good defensive team when we hired him and they had a lot of corners.
