The Miami Dolphins made five percent of those picks as they selected a league-high 13 college prospects.

The Dolphins stuck to their board, selecting the players they liked when they wanted to pick them, leading to some discussions about the team “reaching” for a player or making a trade to move up to select someone who may have been available later.
