Lost in all of the buzz around the Miami Dolphins right now is how the team has officially started the march to some notable compensatory draft picks.
According to the numbers crunched by Over The Cap’s Nick Korte, the Dolphins are currently on pace for a pair of third-round picks in the 2025 NFL draft due to the losses of Christian Wilkins and Robert Hunt.
Korte notes that, while Hunt played every snap of Carolina’s Week 1 loss, he might need to play every snap of the season or the comp pick could fall to the fourth round for the Dolphins.
Hunt leaving for the Panthers and Wilkins for the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency this past offseason—combined with a lack of additions to compensate for the losses—will have the Dolphins on a notable comp-pick watch weekly.
Miami could certainly use both of those picks to end up in the third round, too, considering the injury woes that have already hit the interior offensive line since Hunt’s departure and the fact that, while Calais Campbell is still a rotational force, he’s also 38 years old.
The current charting also has the Dolphins receiving an extra seventh-round pick for the departure of defensive back DeShon Elliott, currently a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
