DAVIE, Fla. (AP) Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross says his latest shake-up of the organization has paid off with consensus regarding draft decisions, and he likes the risky move to take Ole Miss tackle Laremy Tunsil.

Ross said Saturday that the Dolphins selected players they had targeted and benefited from cohesion among their decision-makers lacking in the past.

Tunsil became the biggest story of the draft when he fell to Miami hours after a video was posted on his Twitter account showing him wearing a gas mask connected to a bong. Another post on his Instagram showed an alleged text exchange with an Ole Miss football staff member that included Tunsil's request for money, prompting a university investigation.

The Dolphins conducted months of research into Tunsil and are comfortable about his character, Ross said.
