Cordrea Tankersley is a good, physical corner. Don't want him playing off too much right now but he'll challenge for playing time right away

Dolphins wanted to address all 3 levels of their defense. Done: Charles Harris, Raekwon McMillan, Cordrea Tankersley. Not bad.

Several mock drafts had Cordrea Tankersley projected as a possible 2nd-round pick so #Dolphins getting him late in 3rd is not a reach.
