Miami Dolphins 2018 draft results: Third round selection is Jerome Baker

Three rounds into the NFL Draft, and the Miami Dolphins are checking the block on everything they are doing. Have a need here? Have a need there? We can get those filled. Want to grab a top rated player? Well, check that out - it’s the same player. Miami is on a roll this selection process.

After adding Minkah Fitzpatrick in the first round and Mike Gesicki in the second round, the Dolphins finished off their top three needs in the Draft with the selection of Jerome Baker, linebacker, Ohio State. He is most likely a weak-side linebacker, but he does have the coverage skills Miami may be looking to add into the defense this year. He has a blitz ability and he can go sideline to sideline well.
