In total, the Miami Dolphins made 13 selections over the past three days. That\u2019s a pretty good haul of players to add and the hope is that they can get some major contributions from at least half of them. All in all, it was a pretty solid draft from new general manager, Jon-Eric Sullivan. The most confusing pick may have been WR Caleb Douglas in the third round, who many viewed as a late round prospect. Their first selection of Kadyn Proctor was heavily scrutinized by fans due to S Caleb Downs and DE Rueben Bain being on the board. Sullivan feels confidant that Proctor was the best available player on the board at that moment and only time will tell if that was the correct decision or not.<\/p>\n

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day\u2019s round-up below.<\/p>\n
