Three ways the Miami Dolphins can use their first pick in the draft

With the 102nd pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select Troy Andersen linebacker from Montana State.

The Fins have already invited Channing Tindall, a linebacker from Georgia to spend a day with the team. The team seems to be interested in looking at the linebacker position for the draft.

They did not make any moves in free agency besides signing the linebacking group they had last year. Running it back with the same unit is not the worse plan especially considering the way they were playing the second half of the season.

Andersen is one of the most athletic linebackers found in the draft. He has only been playing linebacker for three years, he has played quarterback and running back in the past.

The lack of experience in the position shows when he gets caught looking at the play before reacting. But his athletic prowess is able to make up for it at times.

Because of his speed and size, 6’4, he can be matched up with most NFL tight ends without it being seen as a huge mismatch. He ran a 4.42 40-yard dash at the combine.

Andersen is a bit of a project, but some pundits are higher than others. PFF has him as a second-to-third-round prospect, while Bleacher Report has them as a fourth-round draft pick.
