First, a quick news note: The Dolphins have called left tackle Branden Albert and informed him that he will remain at left tackle and that they project Laremy Tunsil as the left guard, according to a source with direct knowledge.
(So Armando, as usual, was on target in reporting last night that the Dolphins see Tunsil as a guard this season barring an injury to one of their starting tackles.)
Albert received a call from someone from the top of the organization so that he wouldn’t be concerned about the ramifications of last night’s pick.
The Dolphins feel very good about four starters: Albert and Tunsil on the left side, Mike Pouncey at center and Ja’Wuan James at right tackle.
They plan to let Billy Turner, Dallas Thomas, Jermon Bushrod and perhaps Jamil Douglas compete for right guard. They’re hopeful one of those will emerge as a quality starter, with Turner perhaps the best option of the four.
But they also haven't ruled out drafting another guard in the next two days if they see one they like.
Those eight players, combined with new backup left tackle Sam Young, project as the Dolphins’ nine offensive linemen, though none of the backups is assured of a roster spot if they're beaten out in camp.
