The Austin-to-Miami pipeline was busy on the final day of the NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins picked three straight Longhorns\u00a0\u2014 Trey Moore, Michael Taaffe and DJ Campbell \u2014 between the fourth and sixth rounds on Saturday. They\u2019ll join former Texas<\/a> quarterback Quinn Ewers, who was a rookie this past season.<\/p>\n

After setting a program record with 11 and 12 draft picks the past two seasons, the Longhorns’ highest pick this year was linebacker Anthony Hill (second round). All but one of the six picks came in the fourth round or later.<\/p>\n
