The Dolphins have reached deals with two more draft picks.

Linebacker Jordan Tripp (fifth round) and wide receiver Matt Hazel (sixth round) are the latest draft choices to sign with Miami, the club announced Friday.

The 6-foot-3, 234-pound Tripp recorded 100 tackles and hauled in three interceptions as a senior at Montana in 2013. He’ll likely compete for a reserve role on defense and playing time on special teams.

Hazel (6-1, 198) caught 70 passes for 990 yards and nine touchdowns for Coastal Carolina a season ago.

“We felt like (he) was a receiver with excellent hands, good quickness, good speed and he performed well when the level of competition was raised,” Dolphins G.M. Dennis Hickey said of Hazel after the draft, according to the club.

Like Tripp, Hazel figures as a reserve should he make the roster in Year One.

The Dolphins have now signed 3-of-8 draft picks, with tight end Arthur Lynch (fifth round) the other selection to sign.
