The Miami Dolphins draft another explosive linebacker that they hope can get to the quarterback like this.

The Miami Dolphins decided to bolster their LB core in the 5th round by selecting Josh Kaddu out of Oregon. He's a 6'3" 240 lb. missile that can play OLB in a 4-3 or a 3-4 front. He's got good speed and size for the position. He's an explosive player and a hard hitter. He's a developmental player that can become a force if brought along properly.

THIS SEASON:

Kaddu will make his mark as a special teams player and will see some time as an OLB in the 4-3 front and possibly an ILB in a 3-4 front.. He will also be used in sub packages as a blitzer. He will used as a coverage LB in certain packages as well. If developed properly, he'll end up as a starting OLB in a 4-3. If he puts on some weight, he could develop into a 3-4 OLB.
