MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins drafted Houston offensive tackle Patrick Paul in the second round of the NFL draft on Friday, filling a need at a backup position.

But the big question is whether Paul, the 6 foot 7, 331-pounder who has an extraordinary 36-inch reach, is good enough contribute soon.

Is he good enough to contend for a starting job this year?

Is he good enough to push veteran Kendall Lamm and become the Dolphins’ top backup offensive tackle?

Is deserving of being the Dolphins’ selection in the second round?

Did the Dolphins do well enough with their first- and second-round selections?

The Dolphins, who drafted Penn State edge rusher Chop Robinson with their first-round pick (No. 21) on Thursday, needed immediate help from the draft and there’s concern they drafted two developmental-type players.

Robinson will likely be an immediate starter as returning veterans Bradley Chubb (knee) and Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) recover.

But that’s not the case with Paul, the 55th selection in the draft.

Various scouting reports and mock drafts projected Paul anywhere from the low first round to the second round.

General manager Chris Grier said right now the Dolphins are only looking at Paul as a tackle, not a guard, and he then added, “but we don’t box people in.”

If Paul is only a tackle, he’s a backup considering the Dolphins return starting left tackle Terron Armstead and starting right tackle Austin Jackson.

“He knows he’s got some things to work on,” Grier said of Paul. “He’s very honest and direct and that’s what we really appreciated.’’

The Dolphins had options aside from selecting Paul.

Grier said they got “a bunch” of trade offers for the No. 55 pick.

“A couple were enticing,” he said, “but not enough for us to move off Patrick.”

As for other positions, right before the Dolphins took Paul, Texas wide receiver Adonai Mitchell went to Indianapolis at No. 52, Kansas State tight end Ben Sinnott went to Washington at No. 53, and Ohio State defensive tackle Michael Hall Jr. went to Cleveland at No. 54.

All are players the Dolphins could have chosen.

Right after Paul’s selection, Western Michigan edge rusher Marshawn Kneeland went to Dallas at No. 56, and Alabama edge rusher Chris Braswell went to Tampa at No. 57, and Georgia safety Javon Bullard went to Green Bay at No. 58.

Again, all are players the Dolphins could have chosen.

One thing to keep in mind, however, is that the second round has been a successful spot for Grier and the Dolphins since he took over the draft in 2016.

The second-round picks since then have been Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard (2016), linebacker Raekwon McMillan (2017), tight end Mike Gesicki (2019), guard Robert Hunt and defensive tackle Raekwon Davis (2020), safety Jevon Holland and guard Liam Eichenberg (2021) and cornerback Cam Smith (2023).

That’s eight selections — one Pro Bowler (Howard), two high-quality players (Hunt and Holland), and three serviceable players (Eichenberg, Gesicki and Davis), one so-so player (McMillan) and one unproven player (Smith).

Overall, that’s decent success.

As a bonus to selecting Paul, he’s an engaging young man with an interesting background.

He’s long-armed with a 36-inch reach that he uses to his advantage.

“Always being the first person, if your timing is right, to land that punch and get that contact, it gives you an advantage being the first to strike,” Paul said.

He’s a martial arts enthusiast who practices boxing and MMA.

“It correlates definitely to the field,” Paul said.

His grandfather, Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi was a major general in the Nigerian Army and head of state of Nigeria for a six-month stretch in 1966 after he took over following a coup.

Paul lived in Nigeria as a youngster for two and a half years. He hasn’t been back since 2015.

And he has a dynamic personality as well as a big smile.

“He was very enthusiastic about his intentions of wanting to play here,” Grier said with a smile.

The Dolphins said they spent a lot of time with Paul between the Senior Bowl, combine and a visit to the Dolphins’ team facility in Miami Gardens.

Paul said he enjoyed his time with the Dolphins tremendously, describing the three visits as “great,” “great,” and “amazing.”

But the question is whether Paul can be a contributor this year, and a starter next year as a replacement to Armstead, who considered retirement this offseason.

Grier thinks Paul can do both.

“We’re excited,” Grier said. “We think he has another level he can take it to, and he wants to, and that’s an important part. He wants to be good and he wants to be coached.”

Tampa Bay Times

CHICAGO — Once the afternoon rain stopped, Friday’s game on the South Side of Chicago seemed like the fitting place for the Rays, who have sputtered through the first month of the season, to start getting right.

They came in with the momentum of Wednesday’s win over the Tigers, and the rest from Thursday’s day off.

They had their No. 1 starter, Zach Eflin, on the mound.

They were playing against a White Sox team with a majors-worst 3-22 record that had just returned from an 0-7 road trip (in which it was outscored 49-18) and had lost 13 of its last 14.

And they were facing a starter, Chris Flexen, who had allowed 14 runs (on 21 hits and seven walks) in 19⅔ innings over five appearances, including three starts.

Yet, the Rays faltered again.

The 9-4 defeat was bad enough, dropping the Rays back under .500 at 13-14.

Worse could be the potential loss of Yandy Diaz, who was struck on the left hand by a 99.3 mph Michael Kopech fastball, appeared in immense pain and immediately left the game.

Some of the details illustrated the inconsistency they Rays have been dealing with.

They were held to two hits through five innings by Flexen, and nine for the game, and were 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position, leaving a season-high 12 on.

They failed three times in key situations to even get the ball out of the infield.

In the first, when Diaz started the game with a double, but Randy Arozarena grounded out and Amed Rosario and Isaac Paredes popped up. In the sixth, when Diaz and Arozarena walked, but Rosario struck out, Paredes popped out and Harold Ramirez grounded out.

And in the seventh, after a one-out single and two-out RBI double by Rene Pinto, when they drew three straight walks, cutting the lead to 5-2. They got Paredes to the plate as the tying run with the bases loaded but he grounded into a fielder’s choice.

Hagerty High alum Eflin allowed nine hits over his six innings, including a costly three-run homer in the sixth to No. 9 hitter Martin Maldonado.

The nine runs by the White Sox were their most in a game this season.

The Rays made two errors.
