Miami Dolphins Draft Jordan Phillips in Second Round
The Miami Dolphins selected defensive tackle Jordan Phillips with the 52nd pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Phillips is a 6-5, 329-pounder described by one scout as a potential "Pro Bowl nose [tackle]." The former Oklahoma Sooner registered 37 tackles as a redshirt-sophomore last season and is regarded as one of the most physically gifted players in the entire draft.
McShay said Fins' pick, DT Phillips, is "one of 10, 12 most naturally gifted individuals in this draft."

The second-round pick came after Miami moved down via a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Dolphins sent the Eagles picks No. 47 and No. 191 for No. 52, No. 145, and No. 156, giving the Dolphins four fifth-round picks at the moment.

PHI Receives:
#47 (2nd round)
#191 (6th round)
MIA Receives:
#52 (2nd round)
#145 (5th round)

Some expect Miami to package some of their late picks to move back into the third round, after shelling out a third-rounder for receiver Kenny Stills in the offseason.
Phillips joins Louisville wideout DeVante Parker (14th overall) to round out the Dolphins' top two picks.
