Reports Say Dolphins Eye Utah Lineman Spencer Fano at No. 11

The interest signals a new regime prioritizing the offensive line under general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Jordan Reid reported the Dolphins are high on Utah’s Spencer Fano and would draft him 11th overall, citing his ability to start at right tackle or play any interior spot.
  • Fano measured 32 1/8-inch arms, a length many teams view as short for NFL tackles, which often pushes players inside to guard.
  • Austin Jackson’s durability concerns and expiring contract factor into Miami’s thinking at right tackle, according to the reporting.
  • Pro Football Rumors added that Texas A&M guard Chase Bisontis visited Miami this week, positioning him as a possible Day 2 target if the team looks for interior help.
  • Pro Football Rumors also noted Sullivan’s Green Bay background of valuing athletic tackles even with shorter arms and Miami’s Bobby Slowik offense that favors movement skills, a profile that could suit Fano.
