With the 26th pick in the 5th round (162nd overall), the Miami Dolphins have selected Anthony Alabi/OT from Texas Christian. Alabi is listed at (6'5", 310lbs, 5.2).

Alabi attended the US Naval Academy from June-to-November of 1999. He walked on at TCU in 2000 and redshirted that season. He missed two games because of a concussion in 2001 but saw a good amount of time at left tackle in the other 10 games. Alabi became a fulltime starter in 2002 and remained a fulltime starter throughout his final three seasons at TCU (2002-'04). He was named to the first-team All-Conference USA team in 2003 and 2004. He also played in the Villages Gridiron Classic. Alabi has adequate but not great height, strength and athletic ability. He was a dominating player at the mid-major collegiate level and he showed very good leadership, toughness and durability throughout. The problem, however, is that Alabi lacks ideal "measurables" to translate that production to the NFL level.
