Round 4, No. 130 overall: Alabama S Malachi Moore (5-11, 196)
Moore played the “star” position for the Crimson Tide before he transitioned to safety full time in the 2024 season. A two-time team captain, he earned first-team All-SEC honors and totaled 70 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 2 forced fumbles, 10 pass defenses and 2 interceptions.

DM: “A very instinctive, tough player. He was a team captain, he’s made of the right stuff at safety. He was a guy we really coveted and kind of targeted early in the day, glad we added him.”

AG: “What he did in college actually shows exactly what he’s going to be able to do in the NFL and being able to have the versatility to play safety and also play nickel has always been great. You see Brian Branch [in Detroit], he had the same thing. When I had Chauncey [Gardner-Johnson] he did the same thing. To be able to have a player that has that versatility is always good for defense, so now you can start to have defensive structures where can have people in different spots.”

Round 5, No. 162 overall: Miami LB Francisco “Kiko” Mauigoa (6-2, 233)Mauigoa played two years for the Hurricanes after two years at Washington State. A team captain for the 2024 season and the green-dot player, Mauigoa led the team in tackles as a junior and senior. The American Samoa native also has an extensive special teams experience and did not miss a game because of injury in his 51 collegiate games.

DM: “Another tough, physical, instinctive linebacker. He was another team captain at Miami.”

AG: “Kiko’s a smart, heady, aggressive, physical linebacker that’s going to get a chance to go in and compete for a linebacker spot. Plus, he has special teams value.”

Round 5, No. 176 overall: Miami Edge Tyler Baron (6-5, 258)
Baron, who played four seasons with Tennessee before one at Miami, led the Hurricanes with 5.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss. He totaled 13.5 sacks, 101 tackles, 27 tackles for loss, and 1 forced fumble with the Volunteers in 48 games (19 starts).

AG: “If you watch him on tape, he actually showed really good pass rush ability, so now it’s just nudging him a little bit more to get him over that hump to be a really good player for us and we expect our player to do that for us.”
