Auburn defensive tackle Patrick Sims, a graduate of Dillard High School, spent the last two days visiting with the Dolphins, according to a source.

Sims, a projected late first-round or early second-round choice in the NFL draft, falls into a group of defensive tackles behind Glenn Dorsey of LSU and Sedrick Ellis of Southern California.

The Dolphins interest in the 6-2, 310-pounds Sims could be an indication that they don't intend to use the overall No. 1 for Dorsey.

Sims, who didn't play football in 2005, blossomed into a solid defensive lineman last season as he was first team All-Southeastern Conference. He had 37 tackles, including 11.5 for loss (74 yards). He had 4.5 sacks and 12 quarterback hurries. He was Defensive MVP in the Chick-fil-A-Bowl.

He is strong and quick and gets good leverage. He defends the run well and also has the push to collapse the pocket.

This pretty much sums up the fact that we're gonna nab Jake Long.
