7. (238) Abraham Wright, DE/OLB

The Dolphins probably drafted Wright with the idea of converting him to outside linebacker.  Wright was a good defensive end in college at Colorado but he’s too small at 6′2″, 234 pounds to play there in the pros.  Wright has the speed to handle the shift as he runs a 4.66 40 but it’s questionable as to how he will play in space.  He also has never had to cover a running back or tight end on a pass play and that could be a problem.  At Colorado, Wright played in 36 games (26 starts) and he made 107 tackles, had 28 tackles for a loss, 21 sacks, forced 3 fumbles and broke up 8 passes.  Wright is a project on defense but he should be able to help the Dolphins on special teams.
