ICYMI: Stringfellow mocked in the third round of the NFL draft
Miami took a former Rebel in Laremy Tunsil in last year’s draft, and they were obviously pleased. The Dolphins have realized that Ole Miss is a place to go for solid NFL talent.
Engram could be the piece that Miami needs to compete in the AFC East with the Patriots.

Ole Miss will look to replace Engram with sophomore tight end Octavious Cooley.
The Dolphins have the pieces to compete now, but with New England still ruling the East, the Dolphins are a wild card team.
Jay Ajayi has taken the lead running back position with the Dolphins with Arian Foster retiring. Ryan Tannehill is a quarterback that could get the Dolphins to the playoffs, but he has been hurt lately.
Engram would be a great addition for the Dolphins along with Jarvis Laundry. Both would be elite pass catchers on the outside of the line.
