After the first round of the 2023 NFL draft came and went, the Miami Dolphins still haven’t made a selection, as they lost one first-round pick for tampering and traded away another for linebacker Bradley Chubb.
On Day 2, general manager Chris Grier has two picks at his disposal, with the first coming at No. 51. However, looking at his history surrounding draft-day trades, there’s always a chance Miami moves around the board using either other picks or players that they’re willing to part with.
Before the second round kicks off, Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar has released an updated mock draft that has the Dolphins selecting South Dakota State tight end Tucker Kraft with their first pick.
In 32 collegiate games, Kraft recorded 99 receptions for 1,211 yards and nine touchdowns. He projects to have competence in both the receiving and blocking aspects of the position at the NFL level, but he’s making a big leap from FCS competition.
Entering the second round, only one tight end has been selected so far, as the Buffalo Bills nabbed Utah’s Dalton Kincaid. That leaves Notre Dame’s Michael Mayer, Oregon’s Luke Musgrave, Iowa’s Sam LaPorta and Georgia’s Darnell Washington available on Day 2.
Farrar has all of them except Washington going before Miami is on the clock.
