MIAMI — Not too long ago, the Miami Dolphins were known for stockpiling draft picks and trading some of their best players -- such as Minkah Fitzpatrick or Laremy Tunsil -- in the process.
But that process has changed.
After selecting five players in the first rounds of the 2020 and 2021 drafts, the Dolphins traded their first-round picks in consecutive years and had one nullified by league sanctions. With the team on the cusp of competing for a Super Bowl, general manager Chris Grier swung deals for wide receiver Tyreek Hill and linebacker Bradley Chubb last year.
