NFL Draft: Dolphins Going Heavy After Defensive Ends; Pick Kendall Langford After Taking Phillip Merling
Are the Miami Dolphins trying to send Jason Taylor a message?
Jason may be too busy practicing his tango moves to care. Nevertheless, the Dolphins have been conspicuously aggressive in stocking up on defensive ends in this draft.
On day one, the Fins took Clemson DE Phillip Merling. At the start of day two, they traded down a couple of spots with the Lions, then used their third-rounder to select Hampton’s Kendall Langford.
Langford, somewhat optimistically I would say, compares himself to New England Pro-Bowler Richard Seymour.
“He’s a bigger end that can play tackle, and he’s a physical guy, not a speed guy,” Langford said. “That’s how I look at myself.”
Langford is expected to play end in the Dolphins’ 3-4 defense.
