The Dolphins have selected CB Nolan Carroll with the 145th pick (5th round) of the NFL Draft.  Carroll is 5’11″, 204 pounds and he runs a 4.49 40.  So the measureables are there for Carroll but it’s too bad that he doesn’t play up to them.  He is a very raw defensive back.  He played in only 2 games at Maryland last season making 10 tackles and defensing 1 pass as he went down for the year with a fractured right tibia.  He finished up his four year career at Maryland with 61 tackles and 9 passes defensed.  Carroll is very injury prone and he was likely drafted because he is a great athlete.  He will have to make the Dolphins on special teams until he can show that he can handle playing CB in the NFL.  This was a major reach by the Dolphins.
