Always. It always seems to happen. After a few days of quiet, with not a lot of Miami Dolphins moves happening, on Friday, we took a look at the Dolphins’ 2022 NFL Draft selections, as well as their 2023 picks. With the trade for Tyreek Hill eating several of the team’s early selections, it was important to reset the picks the Dolphins have a few weeks ahead of the selection process.
With that complete, it was time to settle in for a quiet weekend, with the possibility that the team could look to add players in the second wave of free agency. Obviously, the Dolphins draft picks were pretty well solidified, at least until the Draft gets closer. That solidification proved on Saturday to be firmly set it Jell-O. On Saturday morning, about 24 hours after we reset the Dolphins draft picks, the team made a trade with the New England Patriots, sending wide receiver DeVante Parker and a fifth-round pick to the Patriots in exchange for a 2023 third-round pick.
Which means it is time to reset our reset of the Dolphins draft picks. One interesting note, the Dolphins, by sending away their fifth-round selection this year, now own none of their own picks for the year, with just four selections to be made and all of them coming via trades. Here is where the team stands following the Parker trade:
