I’m fine with the pick. It’s pretty clear Grier is obsessed with drafting premium positions early. Also remember, Mike McDaniel said , edge was his favorites position. They swung for the fences with an elite athlete at a premium position.

Sacrifice later picks and move up if the guy is there.
Harris was very productive in college. This is like comparing an old drafted tackle to an newly drafted guard.
What an ignorant comment
Where are your GM credentials?
Is he an another project though? I read he only had like 11 sacks in college and this is all “potential” driven. I don’t know **** about college football. Except some QB named Penis went high
I thought Barton should have been the pick since he was still there. We've had less-than-stellar play at the center position for years.
Absolutely right about pass rushers (especially in today's NFL). I just hope Chop gets out of the "big potential/project" stage. He doesn't necessarily need to finish plays every time. But the lack of finished plays is troubling.
That's what they are saying about Robinson. Interesting take on Penix...
I wouldn’t consider him a full blown project. He is raw and needs some coaching. Athletic freak for sure. He missed some games last year, and the box score is not always the best at determining how good an edge is.
I remember when Phillips came to UM. He didn’t blossom till the second half of the season. Even if you go back to last year he didn’t kill it on the box score but his pressure rate was very high, and he made a difference on the field.

Harris ran a 4.82 in the 40. Chop ran 4.48, second among all edge behind Turner.Charles Harris is that you
Round 1: No. 21: Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State
My take: At some point, the Dolphins may have a lot of money tied up in their outside linebackers room. But until then, this could end up being one of the better pass-rush rotations in the NFL. Robinson recorded fewer than 12 sacks in three collegiate seasons, but his physical traits jump off the tape. He has a powerful first step and will ideally fill the rotational role left by Andrew Van Ginkel's departure. Coach Mike McDaniel loves his pass-rushers and he gets an exciting one in Robinson.
Will he start as a rookie: Right away? Not unless he has a phenomenal training camp. But that's not why Miami drafted him. Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb will start when the team's at full strength and Robinson will rotate in.
Is the pick for depth or does it fill a hole?: Both. Pass-rusher wasn't the biggest hole on the Dolphins' roster (they still don't have a starting right guard), but their depth at the position was a concern. Miami needed to add to its outside linebackers room, whether via the draft or free agency, and it found a player with a high ceiling, but notable floor.
