Dolphins add Alabama’s Raekwon Davis, a massive defensive tackle, in second round of NFL draft

Miami used its first second-round selection (pick No. 39) to draft Louisiana-Lafayette offensive lineman Robert Hunt, adding him to the first-round selection of USC offensive tackle Austin Jackson.

And with the team’s second pick in the draft’s second round (pick No. 56) the Dolphins selected Alabama defensive tackle Raekwon Davis.

The 6-foot-6, 311-pound Davis, who was projected as a second- or third-round pick, produced 175 tackles, 11.5 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss in his four seasons at Alabama. He can play defensive tackle, nose tackle and defensive end.

Davis played all along the Crimson Tide’s defensive line, which means he’ll fit seamlessly into the Dolphins’ 3-4 hybrid scheme that utilizes multiple fronts.
