Obviously, the final 14 spots in this draft order are still to be determined as the post-season unfolds. That being said, these first 18 spots are set. The Miami Dolphins, who are undoubtedly bummed to be after narrowly missing the plays, have to be happy with picking third overall. The Laremy Tunsil trade with the Houston Texans is the gift that keeps on giving and the 4-12 Texans gave in a big way this year.
At No. 3, the Dolphins could decide to solidify their offensive line with the selection of Penei Sewell or perhaps take a pass-catcher like Ja’Marr Chase or Devonta Smith. However, a potential trade down stands out as perhaps the most likely choice for Miami.
Trading down a handful of spots for a team looking to come up for Sewell or a quarterback would make plenty of sense for the Dolphins. Ideally, they could still come away with Chase or Smith and a handful of extra draft capital.
