The Miami Dolphins are facing a pivotal moment in the upcoming NFL draft, particularly with the anticipated trade of cornerback Jalen Ramsey. This move heightens the urgency for the team to address their cornerback position, which is now their top priority. With general manager Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel under pressure to secure immediate contributors, the selection at number 13 holds significant weight. While Grier is known for his best-player-available strategy, the team also has pressing needs on the defensive line and offensive line, creating a balancing act between filling immediate gaps and long-term planning.

With the release of veteran cornerback Kendall Fuller, the Dolphins' most experienced corner is Kader Kohou, raising questions about the depth and effectiveness of the position. Analysts speculate the Dolphins may target either Will Johnson from Michigan or Jahdae Barron from Texas if they are available. However, the draft could also see the Dolphins address their offensive line needs, given the versatility of prospects like LSU's Will Campbell and Texas' Kelvin Banks, should they fall to Miami's pick. The Dolphins have 10 selections in total, providing them with the flexibility to maneuver and potentially trade up or down to maximize their draft capital.
