PHILADELPHIA (CBSMiami) – It’s becoming clear that the Miami Dolphins wanted to build up their defense in the early rounds of the 2017 NFL Draft.
After taking Missouri defensive end Charles Harris in the first round on Thursday night, Miami addressed another defensive position of need when their pick arrived in round two.
With the 54th selection, the Dolphins drafted Ohio State linebacker Raekwon McMillan.
The former five-star prospect and Hinesville, Georgia native led the Buckeyes in tackles in each of the past two seasons.
During his three years with Ohio State, McMillan racked up 275 career tackles including 18 for a loss and six quarterback sacks.
