Miami Dolphins: The perfect 7-round 2021 mock draft with trades
By Jeremy Klump
Happy Draft Week! The 2021 NFL Draft is three days away, and the Miami Dolphins are that much closer to transforming their franchise. It has been a wild ride of an offseason so far, and it feels good that the NFL Draft is so close.
Every day has been a new debate, new topic, or just a new rumor regarding the Dolphins and the draft, so it will be nice to put it all to bed and finally get on with the show. Miami has been the talk of the NFL this offseason, whether it is a potential trade for a quarterback in Houston, who their play-caller will be, who they will trade for next, which free agent they missed out on, or anything else that has become a hot topic.
General manager Chris Grier and head coach Brian Flores have done a solid job so far as we get closer to the draft. Miami has some glaring holes on their roster, but they should easily fill them in the draft.
The biggest move this offseason was signing wide receiver Will Fuller, but the trade for linebacker Benardrick McKinney is a close second. We will look back on both of these moves and give a round of applause as the season progresses. Fuller will be a star in Miami, and McKinney was exactly what the Dolphins’ defense needed.
It is also worth noting that Miami started with the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, traded back to pick 12, and then pack up to pick 6. Grier was the mastermind behind it all, and it was beautiful to watch the Dolphins navigate the draft before it even has begun.
Miami hasn’t been shy about showing their aggressiveness this offseason, with the big draft trades, the trade for McKinney, and the move for Fuller. However, I think they will be even more aggressive in the 2021 NFL Draft.
I just wanted to thank everyone that has been reading my draft content this offseason, and it is always bittersweet doing my final mock draft. However, here it is. This is my final Miami Dolphins seven-round mock draft that features some wild trades, but it is perfect.
Enjoy!
