Dolphins fans were ecstatic after taking Jacob Rodriguez in NFL draft
The Miami Dolphins used pick No. 43 overall on linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, and the fans were thrilled with the move.
After the Miami Dolphins moved around the first round and made two picks on Day 1, their first pick on Day 2 came at their own selection at No. 43 overall, as they took linebacker Jacob Rodriguez. The Dolphins may have both starters at linebacker from their 2025 campaign returning for the 2026 season, but with Jordyn Brooks and Tyrel Dodson entering the last year of their deals, Miami needed to prepare for the possibility that they leave.
Immediately after the pick, Dolphins fans shared their reaction on social media, and they seemed pretty happy about the move. Let's take a look at what some of them had to say. I love this pick.
He is a beast! A turnover machine. Him and Brooks is one hell of a tandem — 🐬 Reply Guy (@FinReplyGuy) April 25, 2026 YES ORGANIZATION.
