With only four picks in the 2023 NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins may have to make some trades to improve their total number of draft assets.
In two weeks, general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel are set to have the fewest selections of any team in the annual event for the second year in a row.
Trading on draft day isn’t something that Grier is unfamiliar with. Since taking over as general manager back in 2016, the Dolphins have made 15 trades during the draft.
