The Dolphins are expected to keep second-round pick Phillip Merling at his college position, defensive end.
It kills his IDP potential, but Merling is well suited to be a stout, blocker occupying run-plugger in a 3-4. He will battle Rodrique Wright and Matt Roth to start at right end. Roth is the incumbent there and likely the favorite.

great sig
If that's the position that he's best suited for i have no problem with it. The front office made a serious attempt to fix the problems on both sides of the line through the draft which is something to be happy about.
Jeez... are we gonna have a serious rotation going on at DE or what? Merling, Roth, Wright, Holliday, Langford, Starks...
Well they said Starks would rotate at T and DE earlier, I actually think Starks will be given a chance to be our future NT.

the part I don't get is Roth at RDE....he's always played on the left side and I believe that Holliday have played just about everywhere....Either way there's gonna be good competition on that line.
Ozzy rules!!
we are stacked at d-line. I mean we are gonna have constant rotation at lineman which is gonna give pressure non-stop on opposing quarterbacks. So for brady and edwards while there line is tired our line well be fresh and ready at crucial points in the game.
I am almost positive that Merling will be asked to be an OLB. He has too many skills to be used as a DE. Ireland even made special mention of his pass rush abilities. Look for him to be groomed to replace Jason Taylor
Better than Chris Long and Vernon Gholston
PHILLIP MERLING
