PHILADELPHIA (CBSMiami) – The Miami Dolphins made some history during the first two days of the 2017 NFL Draft.
For the first time ever, the Dolphins selected a defensive player with each of the team’s first three picks.
Miami used their only 3rd Round pick, 97th overall, on Clemson cornerback Cordrea Tankersley.
He joins Missouri defensive end Charles Harris (22nd overall) and Ohio State linebacker Raekwon McMillan (54th overall) as the Dolphins 2017 draft picks, so far.
Tankersley comes to Miami fresh off winning a national championship with Clemson last season and was considered their top cornerback.
