When the trade becomes official for Waddle, the Dolphins will have their own No. 11 overall pick, plus No. 30 in the first round. In the second round, Miami has its own No. 43 overall pick, then No. 75, No. 87, No. 90, and No. 94 in the third round. With seven selections in the top 100, the Dolphins should be able to acquire several impact players that can help shape the team moving forward. Plus Sullivan and Hafley could unearth some hidden gems with No. 130 in the fourth round, No. 151 in the fifth round, and No. 227 and No. 238 in the seventh round.
Seven picks in the top 100 is huge and hopefully we find at least 4-5 starters out of that haul. Hopefully we don't look at project players with off the charts potential...let other teams develop those guys. Give us 7 hard-nosed, tough football players who are ready to compete. We need two starting WRs, so I'm thinking that's the new priority at #11. WR or CB. Follow that up with a few interior linemen, an edge rusher, and other pieces of the secondary. It's crazy to think that we can actually get all those pieces in one draft. I don't know about you guys, but this isn't all doom and gloom for me. I think so far, this organization is doing a great job managing so much with so little.
