Round 3, Pick 73: Tony Bergstrom, Offensive Guard/Tackle, Utah

Now that the Dolphins are implementing a new offensive scheme, they will no longer target massive offensive linemen. Instead, Miami will target offensive linemen who are huge and athletic. 
Utah's Tony Bergstrom fits Jeff Ireland's criteria to a T. He's 6'5", 313 pounds and has the versatility to line up at offensive guard and offensive tackle. Bergstrom was also a three-year starter and Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham called him a "leader of leaders."
Bergstrom will be a 26-year-old rookie, but that shouldn't deter the Dolphins from drafting him. He could step in as a starter within a year or two, which is pivotal considering Jake Long is slated for free agency next year and the Dolphins are strapped for cash. 
Jeff Ireland has drafted two Utah Utes before (Sean Smith, Koa Misi), and I think he'll draft a third here.
