The Miami Dolphins concluded their 2022 NFL draft on Saturday evening when they selected quarterback Skyler Thompson from Kansas State with their 247th pick. The Dolphins only had four selections, and they made the most out of them. Channing Tindall, Erik Ezunkanma, Cameron Goode, and Thompson make up Miami’s draft class.
With starter and hopeful franchise quarterback Tua Tagovailoa looking for a leap-year, and backup Teddy Bridgewater for insurance, this was a needed pick to finalize the QB room. Thompson will be a developmental third quarterback for the Dolphins.
In what can be viewed as a successful process, mixed with the flurry of offseason moves, including the acquisition of wide receiver Tyreek Hill, the Dolphins will now wait until the final pick, and then search the scrap heap for undrafted free agents.
As always, social media was quick to react to Miami’s decision to draft Thompson.
