    The Dolphins had a need on defense and addressed it in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

    Miami selected Alabama defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick with the 11th overall pick.

    The 6-foot, 204 pound Fitzpatrick provides versatility to play cornerback or safety, and immediately bolsters a Dolphins defense that finished the 2017 regular season ranked 16th against the pass (225.2 yards allowed per game). Miami also finished 16th in the league in total defense (335.7 yards allowed per game).

    Fitzpatrick, who clocked a 4.46 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, finished his college career with 171 tackles (110 solo), nine interceptions, 24 passes defensed and five sacks.
