The NFL draft is less than a week away, as the Miami Dolphins head into the event without picks in the first two rounds due to the Tyreek Hill trade. This is a uniquely-structured draft for the Dolphins following a flurry of offseason transactions, as each of their four picks wasn’t originally their own.
General manager Chris Grier will wait until the third and fourth rounds to make their first selections, and then he won’t pick again until two selections in the seventh, as it stands now. Miami hasn’t been without a first-round pick since 2003, and they have never selected less than five players in one draft. The last time that happened was back in 2002 when Miami only walked away with five players, starting in the third round, following the blockbuster Ricky Williams deal with the New Orleans Saints.
Here are some other Miami draft notes from the current roster as well as their 56 years of team existence:
