Offensive Tackle. Texas. Connor Williams. 11. player. 59.

The Miami Dolphins have a number of needs on both sides of the ball, but a strong reconstruction project should focus on the inside out.

This means the trenches, where Miami will look to improve the offensive line.

Ideally, Notre Dame guard Quenton Nelson would have fallen this far, but the Dolphins can take some comfort in Texas offensive tackle Connor Williams, who some teams view as more of a guard prospect, according to Tony Pauline of DraftAnalyst.com.

Williams would be a solid replacement for free-agent veteran guard, Jermon Bushrod, which allows Miami to get both younger and cheaper up front.
