Replacing Armstead at LT
Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that Paul "will be our starter at left tackle" following the retirement of Terron Armstead, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
However, Grier also added that Paul will get "first crack" at the starting left tackle gig, suggesting that the team will hold a competition for the role during training camp. A 2024 second-round pick, Paul suited up for 17 regular-season games with Miami as a rookie, but looked less than ready for full-time duty in his three starts. At 6-foot-7, 231-pounds, he boasts all the physical tools and athleticism necessary to develop into a high-end option, and offensive line coach Butch Berry was modestly successful in helping Austin Jackson (knee) improve after his disastrous rookie season in 2020. Grier mentioned Larry Borom as a candidate to compete with Paul when training camp commences.

Paul, a rookie second-round pick, looks set for a reserve role behind Terron Armstead and Austin Jackson for 2024. Armstead has a pattern of missing time, however, which could result in the Dolphins leaning on Paul sooner than later.

Set to replace Armstead
Paul is expected to take over as Miami's starting left tackle in 2025 after Terron Armstead announced his retirement Saturday, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Paul started three games as a rookie after being selected 55th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-7, 332-pound Paul will have big shoes to fill in 2025, as Armstead was a five-time Pro Bowl selection.
