Trading Jaylen Waddle vaulted wide receiver to the top of Miami's list of draft needs, with no No. 1 option in place. Signing Joshua Uche and David Ojabo is an improvement on the Dolphins' pass rush, but that shouldn't stop them from spending a first-round pick on the position. Early in the draft, Miami could also look at cornerback, which is one of the most unproven position groups on its roster despite free agent signings.
With seven picks in the top 100, is Miami more likely to use them all or package some to move?
The Dolphins are very excited to have seven picks in the first two days. New general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan has emphasized setting the team up with young, affordable talent as the Dolphins reshape the roster. Don't rule out a trade, but Miami's priority is adding as much talent as possible. Depending on how the board falls, trading down in the first round feels more likely, especially if it results in a first-round pick swap and at least one additional top-100 selection. But adding players on rookie contracts is an appealing option to bolster the Dolphins' thin roster.
