Who The Miami Dolphins Should Take In The Draft With this year’s draft exactly one month away, I have decided to give out my take on who I think the Miami Dolphins should take in this year’s draft.

With a new general manager, it can be challenging to get a read on preferences and the direction he’ll go related to a draft in his first season. Miami Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan was mentored for his position by a franchise that stuck to a model, one based on size to a large extent.
The Miami Dolphins' offseason shopping has been limited to bargain-type players looking to emerge, with the one glaring exception being quarterback Malik Willis.
The Miami Dolphins' game plan under new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan seems pretty clear, and it's about clearing up a nasty cap situation while accumulating a lot of draft capital.

NFL Draft guru Todd McShay released his Two-Round Mock Draft 3.0 today, and he has Miami selecting these two players in round 1. “The Dolphins’ roster has a ton of needs, so it’s not like drafting a wide receiver following the departures of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle is an absolute must here.
