Dolphins fifth-round (C) pick: Cedric Thompson

The Dolphins re-signed Louis Delmas to play safety this year but they just drafted a player for the position for the future.

Miami picked Cedric Thompson with their third pick in the fifth round. Thompson, 6-foot and 208 pounds, was a three-year starter. He's a good communicator and good tackler.

He had 83 tackles and two interceptions last year. He ran a 4.5 at his Pro Day.

He took two-hour bus rides to high school to stay away from gang violence in Los Angeles. He obviously has bus riding ability.
