After landing Hill, the draft may be uneventful for Dolphins

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The way the Miami Dolphins see things, they had the No. The Dolphins don’t have a first- or second-round pick in this year’s draft because of the blockbuster trade that brought wide receiver Tyreek Hill from Kansas City to Miami, and that move alone already has Grier believing this draft was a success. “And one of the guys said we’ll just watch Tyreek highlights in the draft room to make us feel good.” By the time the Dolphins will be on the clock, they might be able to get through a whole lot of Hill highlights. Barring a trade — something Grier hasn’t ruled out, though indicated such a move would be unlikely — Miami’s first pick this year will be the 102nd of the draft. AT 102 Past 102nd picks in the draft have included quarterback Kirk Cousins, running back Stephen Davis — and a couple of Hall of Famers, including one with deep ties to Miami.
