Dolphins use their second fifth-round pick on LSU DT Davon Godchaux

Now the interior of the defensive line has been addressed, as the Miami used their second fifth-round pick on LSU defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, a 6-foot-3, 310 pound player who accumulated 6.5 sacks during his 2016 season in college.

"I thought I would be taken in the third round." Godchaux said. "The Dolphins got them a steal."

NFL.com's Gil Brandt had Godchaux ranked as a second round prospect, so by that evaluation, the Dolphins did indeed get a steal by drafting him. It's clear that Godchaux also has a lot of confidence, which will help him going in as he competes with incumbent starter Jordan Phillips for playing time alongside star DT Ndamukong Suh.
