The Miami Dolphins select CB Nolan Carroll in the 5th round
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.
