The Dolphins on Friday announced the signings of 12 undrafted rookie free agents.
The 12 are linebackers Akil Blount, Tyler Gray and James Burgess; kicker Marshall Koehn; offensive lineman Ruben Carter; long snapper Ryan DiSalvo; wide receivers Rashawn Scott and Brandon Shippen; cornerback Lafayette Pitts; tight end Gabe Hughes; safety A.J. Hendy and defensive end Farrington Huguenin.
Blount is the son of Steelers Hall of Famer Mel Blount. Akil Blount was a three-year starter at Florida A&M.
The 6-foot-1 Scott played college football at Miami (Fla.) and had a big senior season, recording 52 receptions for 695 yards and five touchdowns. He was invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in February but probably went undrafted due to injury and character concerns stemming from his up-and-down college career.
Gray reportedly chose the Dolphins over contract offers from four other teams.

Interesting that they only signed one offensive lineman as a UDFA. Either the staff expect quite a bit form Turner and Douglas, or this guy is pretty good.

There's always other guys that may be available later, but I'm pretty confident that there will be at the very least a decent Oline out there this year. -
