The Dolphins used the pick to select tight end Durham Smythe from Notre Dame.

Aaron Feis heroically sacrificed his own life to protect students. Unquestionably, he is deserving of being honored. Miami and the NFL did a great thing by involving Feis and Stoneman Douglas football players. Kudos to the league for the emotional moment. Some things are much bigger than football.
