The Miami Dolphins have (finally) made their first pick of the 2017 NFL Draft. With the 22nd overall pick, the Dolphin shave added Missouri defensive end Charles Harris. The pick gives the Dolphins a young pass rusher to add to Cameron Wake and Andre Branch.
NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein writes of Harris:
High-cut pass rusher with good athleticism but concerns regarding his ability to drop anchor against the run. Ironically, Harris might be best suited as a penetrator which is something he fought against this season. His hands can be improved as pass rush weapons, but he has agility and footwork that can't be taught. Harris can play on the edge in a 4-3 or 3-4 front and should be the next in a line of early contributing defensive ends coming out of Missouri.
