PrintAccording to Aaron Wilson of Scout.com, the Dolphins have signed rookie linebacker A.J. Edds. His deal is reportedly for 4 years and includes a $477,000 signing bonus. Edds is the second draft pick the Dolphins have come to terms with this offseason.
The fourth round pick out of Iowa is expected to have a larger role than mid-rounders typically have. The Dolphins have said that Edds could instantly see action as a nickel linebacker because of his outstanding coverage skills, at least for a linebacker. He's smart and athletic and it'll be interesting to see how he gets worked into the linebacker rotation once camp gets underway next month.
The Dolphins still have six draft picks left to sign, including each of their first three picks from April's draft.

I don't see Bill as the kind of guy that will put up with holdouts too often.

does anyone know if he can tackle well?
He’s HUGE and can cover! Wasn’t he a converted tight end? Any if he were able to tackle well, do you guys think he would be able to beat crowder anddobbins?

Yes he was, in a while sure he could, but he needs to read blocks better

Gives him an advantage in the film room, but
reading blocks has to be instinctual, otherwise he’ll think too much. (then usually lose concentration, missed tackles, etc.)

just because he can tackle,
doesn’t mean he’s mastered slipping off blockers. crowder won’t loose his spot to him.

Hes a coverage specialist,
he has a lot to learn to become an everydown LB.
