2017 Miami Dolphins season

{{main|2017 NFL draft}}

Notes

• The team traded their third- and fourth-round selections as well as their sixth-round selection in 2016 (186th) to Minnesota in exchange for Minnesota's third-round selection in 2016 (86th). If Miami receives a fourth-round compensatory selection, that pick will go to Minnesota. If they do not receive a compensatory selection, Minnesota will receive Miami's original fourth-round selection.{{cite web |title=2016 NFL Draft trade tracker: Details of all the moves |url=http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000656148/native/2016-nfl-draft-trade-tracker-details-of-all-the-moves? |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160506191444/http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000656148/native/2016-nfl-draft-trade-tracker-details-of-all-the-moves |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 6, 2016 |work=NFL.com |date=April 29, 2016 |access-date=April 30, 2016}}
