DOLPHINS SELECT HUNT AT NO. 39 OVERALL

- Offensive line is the most selected position all-time by the Dolphins. Hunt is the 117th offensive lineman taken by Miami.
- Hunt becomes the first player in Louisiana-Lafayette’s history to be drafted by the Dolphins. If he appears in a game, he will also become the first Ragin’ Cajun to ever play for the Dolphins.
MIAMI PICKS DAVIS AT NO. 56
- Miami used its second second-round pick to select DT Raekwon Davis at No. 56 overall.
- Davis became the second player from the University of Alabama selected by the Dolphins in this draft, joining QB Tua Tagovailoa (fifth overall). He’s the 12th Alabama player to ever be chosen by Miami.
- The Dolphins have taken two Alabama players in the same draft once before. In 1980, Miami picked DB Don McNeal in the first round (21st overall) and C Dwight Stephenson in the second round (48th overall). Stephenson went on to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
- Davis is the third Alabama defensive lineman drafted by the Dolphins and first since 1986.
