The Great Miami Draft Caper: How Many Picks Did They Actually Have?
You might be here because:
- You're a die-hard Dolphins fan who wants to dissect every draft move (and rightfully so).
- You're a fantasy football fanatic trying to predict Miami's future.
- You accidentally wandered in here while looking for dolphin puns (we've all been there).
Whatever your reason, buckle up, because the Miami Dolphins' 2023 draft picks were about as straightforward as a greased pig in a swimsuit competition.
The Plot Thickens: Missing Picks and Mysterious Trades
The story begins with the Dolphins boasting two shiny first-round picks. Then, pow! The NFL cracks down on them for tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton, leaving Miami with a big ol' goose egg in the first round.
But that's not all! Remember Bradley Chubb, that fearsome pass rusher? Miami traded their remaining first-rounder and a future pick to snag him from Denver. Basically, the Dolphins went from "first-round rich" to "draft pick challenged" real quick.
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
So, How Many Picks Did They REALLY Have?
Brace yourselves, because this is where things get interesting:
- First Round: 0 (nada, zilch). Thanks, tampering violation!
- Second Round: 1 (phew!). They used it on cornerback Cam Smith, a talented player, but some might say an unexpected choice.
- Third Round: Nope! Gone due to more tampering shenanigans (the Dolphins seem to have a thing for this).
- Rounds 4-7: Silence. No picks here either. Miami went all-in on veterans and gave up future draft capital.
The End Result: A Draft Day Unlike Any Other
The 2023 draft was a wild ride for Miami. They went from having a war chest of picks to entering the draft with a single selection in the second round. It was a bold strategy, and only time will tell if it pays off.
