The Miami Dolphins and the 2023 NFL Draft: A Pick-tacular Tale (or Lack Thereof)
Ah, the NFL Draft. A time of hope, anticipation, and analysts in far too much seersucker. But for Miami Dolphins fans in 2023, it was a bit...well, let's just say it wasn't exactly a pick-nic.
How Many Picks Do The Miami Dolphins Have In The 2023 Nfl Draft |
Where Did All the Picks Go?
The Dolphins entered the draft with all the firepower of a wet firecracker. Thanks to a spot of tampering (allegedly! We plead the fifth!), a trade for Bradley Chubb, and some other wheeling and dealing, Miami found themselves with a distinct lack of, well, draft picks. We're talking thinner than a supermodel's patience at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
Basically, the Dolphins went from having multiple first-round picks to having about as much draft capital as a broke college student.
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
So, How Many Picks Did They Actually Have?
Now, for the big reveal. Drumroll please...the Miami Dolphins waltzed into the 2023 draft with a grand total of...four measly picks. That's right, folks, less than some teams have quarterbacks they're "not sold on, but willing to give a shot."
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
Let's break it down:
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
- Round 1: Nada. Zip. Zilch. Thanks, tampering!
- Round 2: 1 (phew, at least they got a consolation prize)
- Round 3: Another big, fat goose egg (thanks again, tampering!)
- Rounds 4-7: A hodgepodge of leftover picks (think bargain bin at a draft pick swap meet)
But Hey, They Made it Work (Kind Of)
Give the Dolphins credit, they managed to snag some decent players with their limited ammo. They grabbed a cornerback in the second round, and even snagged a tackle in the seventh round (gotta protect Tua somehow, right?).
Look, it wasn't a haul for the ages, but they patched some holes and hey, at least they showed up.
How to Deal with Your Team Having No Draft Picks (Because We've All Been There)
- Embrace the underdog mentality: Nobody believes in you? Perfect! Fuel your fire with that sweet, sweet disrespect.
- Distract yourself with free agency rumors: Shiny new players are way more fun to think about than draft picks you don't have, right?
- Stock up on popcorn: The upcoming season is about to be a wild ride.
- Channel your inner meme-maker: There's nothing a good Dolphins draft pick shortage meme can't fix.
- Remember, there's always next year (hopefully with more picks!)
