The Miami Dolphins selected an edge defender in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft and one recent national mock draft has them taking a defensive tackle next year
Losing defensive tackle Christian Wilkins meant the Miami Dolphins got weaker in the middle. The addition of Calais Campbell was big, though he is more of a traditional 5-technique, 3-4 defensive end than a natural interior defender. The Dolphins might need to look to the 2025 NFL draft to find a long-term option.suggests that the Dolphins will take an interior defender in the 2025 draft.
"If you like Derrick Brown and Dexter Lawrence, you're going to love Walker," Miller wrote. "The 6-foot-6, 348-pounder is an anchor in the middle of the Kentucky defensive line but also has the quickness and agility to get after the quarterback, notching 7.5 sacks in 2023. He would immediately plug the nose tackle hole in Miami, allowing speedy edge rushers Jaelan Phillips, Chop Robinson and Bradley Chubb more true one-on-one looks coming off the corner.
Walker was the second defensive tackle off the board in Miller's mock draft, behind Michigan's Mason Graham going at No. 7 to the Minnesota Vikings. Walker has plenty of size to be a big-time space-eater in the middle, and like the post-Aaron Donald defensive tackle, he is no slouch in rushing the passer.
The Dolphins took Robinson with their first-round choice in 2024, giving a boost to the established edge rushing unit of Phillips and Chubb and veteran free agent addition Shaquil Barrett. The addition of Walker ideally would bring that level of play to the middle.The Dolphins signed six short-term options after Wilkins departed for the Las Vegas Raiders in March. Neville Gallimore, Jonathan Harris, Benito Jones, Teair Tart, Isaiah Mack and Daviyon Nixon all were brought in on one-year deals.
Unless the Dolphins get extraordinary nose tackle play from one of their interior defenders, the Dolphins likely will look at long-term options in the draft or through free agency in 2025, and there's where Walker would come in.
