The NFL Draft is still months away—in fact, it's months away from the start of the new calendar year. With the Miami Dolphins watching their season fall through the holes of a colander, the draft is becoming more interesting. Fans won't be thrilled with the idea of Chris Grier calling another Dolphins draft, but as the season ticks along, Stephen Ross is still hopeful that his choice to run the team can turn it around, if not this year, then maybe next. The Dolphins have many holes to fill. They need at least one but probably two guards, a backup quarterback, safeties, linebackers, edge-rushing help, and a defensive tackle. A wide receiver wouldn't hurt, either. Some of these issues will be addressed (note I didn't say fixed) in free agency. The draft has to provide the rest. Miami has its own picks in Rounds 1 and 2 but traded its third-rounder to the Philadelphia Eagles in the trade-up for Jaylen Wright. Glad he is getting experience on Sundays. The team could get as many as two third-round compensatory picks in 2025 and will have selections in Rounds 4, 5, and 7.
