Complete Dolphins Draft Order, Trades, History
The NFL released Friday the official round-by-round order for the 2023 draft, which provided a reminder that the Miami Dolphins have a league-low four selections at this time.
That's mostly the result of various trades that brought them players such as wide receiver Tyreek Hill, outside linebacker Bradley Chubb, running back Jeff Wilson Jr. and most recently Jalen Ramsey.
The Dolphins will be without a first-round pick for a second consecutive year because of the Hill trade and also because the NFL made them forfeit a No. 1 pick this year and a third-round selection next year after finding them guilty of violating the league's tampering rules with improper contact with both Coach Sean Payton and Tom Brady.
That forfeited pick would have been the 21st overall.
For record-keeping purposes, that pick does not count in the overall selections, meaning that the Dolphins' first pick will be the 51st overall even if it technically will be the 52nd slot (hope that wasn't too confusing).
Here's a look at the Dolphins' 2023 draft outlook:
THE DOLPHINS ROUND-BY-ROUND 2023 DRAFT PICKS
Round 1 — None (the Dolphins forfeited the 21st overall pick, along with a 2024 third-round selection, after being found guilty of violating the league's tampering rules)
Round 2 — 51st overall (20th in round)
Round 3 — 84th overall (21st in round)
Round 4 — None
Round 5 — None
Round 6 — 197th overall (20th in round)
Round 7 — 238th overall (21st in round)
