The Splash Zone 4/29/17: Dolphins Select McMillan & Tankersley

The Dolphins bolstered their defense with the selections of Raekwon McMilan and Codrea Tankersley. Tankersley has been on the teams radar while McMilan kind of flew under the radar for the fans. The Dolphins don’t select until the fifth round of the draft, but the team will have three selections in the fifth and may be able to hit on a home-run prospect.
