Guard Solomon Kindley is the first member of the Dolphins’ 2020 draft class to sign his four-year rookie deal. Kindley was the 111th overall pick of this year’s draft and the fifth pick of the fourth round. The Dolphins selected 11 players overall during last month’s draft. Kindley started at right guard in 2017 and 2018 before flipping to the left side of the line for his final season at Georgia. He joined first-round tackle Austin Jackson and second-round guard Robert Hunt as draft additions to the Dolphins offensive line.
Credit to the people in the offices that have to sort out all the contracts during the offseason. They've certainly been kept busy the last couple of seasons.
I don't think you can ever stop investing in the offensive line. So glad we are finally doing this. I'm super excited about Kindley, Hunt, and Jackson.
I am excited about our new additions, too. If we could afford him, I would like to see us add Larry Warford (OG) FA from the Saints. He should start, and some of our new guys would provide depth until they are ready. I am pulling for Hunt to take over the RT spot and leave Davis (OG/RT) as one of our backups.
It will be interesting to see when these rookies see the field and how they play once they get there. In a normal year I'd say despite being rookies all three deserve a chance to fight to start. Given our line it's not impossible all three could, but more realistically I'd expect 2 of the 3. This year with things up in the air a bit more due to coronavirus, I'm not sure that will be an option.
