Harris celebrated with friends and family in his hometown of Kansas City. There were high-fives in the Dolphins' draft room too,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, Grier said.
Sounds good to the Dolphins, who addressed one of their many defensive needs Thursday night by selecting Harris. General manager Chris Grier said Harris was one of two players Miami targeted a month ago with the 22nd pick.
DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — In the first few minutes of his NFL career, Miami Dolphins first-round pick Charles Harris showed no sign of rookie jitters.
Miami chose Harris over Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster, who was among the highly regarded defensive players still on the board.
Also available were Western Kentucky guard Forrest Lamp and Miami Hurricanes tight end David Njoku. Both were believed to be on the Dolphins' radar, but the team was widely expected to devote its top pick to defense.

Harris is projected to join a four-man rotation at end immediately under new defensive coordinator Matt Burke, Grier said.
"That's how much we liked him," Grier said. "He's got an explosive first step and quickness. We love the pass rush he gives us at a position where you can't have enough guys."
"I'm going to get to the quarterback without a doubt," Harris said shortly after being selected. "I'm going to come into the league and dominate. I'm trying to dominate and feed my family."
"I've never been to Miami, but I'll make that move," he said with a laugh. "I'll take it. I love it. Let's do it."
The Dolphins remain in the market for help at linebacker, cornerback and safety. They have one pick each in the second and third rounds,Wholesale NHL Jerseys, but only three of the first 165 picks overall.
Harris joins a defense that allowed a franchise-record 6,122 yards last season even though Miami made the playoffs for the first time since 2008. Harris will be groomed as an eventual replacement for five-time Pro Bowl end Cameron Wake,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, who is 35.
The 6-foot-3, 253-pound Harris is considered better as a pass rusher than against the run. He had seven sacks as a sophomore in 2015 and nine last year.
"Everybody in the building, from personnel to coaches — if you saw the video in the room, everybody was going crazy,Adidas NHL Jerseys China," Grier said.
The Dolphins ranked 30th in run defense last season, and tied for 19th in sacks.
Harris didn't visit or work out with the Dolphins, and Grier said it was because the team didn't want to tip its hand. Harris said the outcome was fine with him.
Harris didn't begin playing organized football until his junior year in high school, but he earned a scholarship to Missouri, where he was a three-year starter and totaled 18 sacks and 34.5 tackles for a loss.
The Missouri defensive end said he's ready for the role the Dolphins drafted him to fill.
