The Miami Dolphins have gotten close to reclaiming a spot atop the AFC East but fell a tad short again in 2023. They punched a postseason ticket for a second straight year under Head Coach Mike McDaniel but eventually lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 26–7 in one of the coldest games in NFL history. This Dolphins team is certainly heading in the right direction, but just need a few key players to get there, and they can add that in this year’s NFL Draft. The Dolphins have a first-round pick for the first time in three seasons and should have plenty of interesting options with the 21st overall selection. They have just six picks overall in this year’s draft and this mock draft covers two of those selections as we head into Thursday night’s event.
