The Miami Dolphins selected Notre Dame offensive tackle Liam Eichenberg with their second pick of the second round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday.
The 6-foot-6, 306-pound Eichenberg was taken with the 10th pick of the round, No. 42 overall. The Dolphins traded up with the New York Giants to acquire the pick to select Eichenberg. He was a first-team All-ACC selection in 2020 for the Fighting Irish.
To move up eight spots, the Dolphins sent the No. 50 pick and a third-round selection in the 2022 NFL draft to the Giants.
Draft Wire ranked Eichenberg as the eighth-best offensive tackle in this year’s class.
Earlier in the second round, the Dolphins picked Oregon safety Jevon Holland with the No. 36 overall selection.
The Dolphins have one more draft selection on Friday: No. 18 in the third round (No. 81 overall). Miami has three picks on Saturday: No. 12 in the fifth round (No. 156 overall), No. 3 in the seventh round (No. 231 overall) and No. 17 in the seventh round (No. 244 overall).
