The Miami Dolphins were set to enter the second round with the 47th overall pick. However, a trade with the Eagles allowed them to move down five slots to the 52nd slot where they selected Oklahoma DT Jordan Phillips. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
I respect the fact that Ndamukong Suh will need a space-eating counterpart to take the attention off of him, offensive lines won't be able single him out. Todd McShay mentioned on air that Phillips can do a back flip standing still, at 6'5, 330 lbs. That is impressive. He will need to work on his motor and playing at a lower pad level, but with such a competitive D-line, expectations will be high. The Dolphins' defense will easily be top ten next season, and could flirt with top five in the NFL.
