The Dolphins don’t stray from their bigger is better blueprint on size requirements for each position. So if that linebacker is a little bit on the small side (like Jon Beason was) you might was well drop him a round no matter how productive he was in college. Size matters to this regime because it impacts a player’s durability.

Size doesn't matter.

That's what she said.

Whether she actually means it or not is another story.

Yet they drafted Pat White and J.D Folsom.

No kidding. It's ideal to be overpowering, but you don't have to be....it's how you use it.

Folsom was brought in to play Special teams. I don't think they had the intention of him doing anything more than that. I think he would have gotten more playing time had or ST's unit not played as well as they did.
