The Miami Dolphins entered this weekend with only four total draft picks for the 2023 selection meeting, due to picks being forfeited and a number of trades.
One of those selections, pick No. 155, was sent to the San Francisco 49ers at the 2022 trade deadline for running back Jeff Wilson. Wilson rushed for 392 yards and three touchdowns on 4.7 yards per carry during his eight games with the Dolphins last year before re-signing on a two-year deal this offseason.
The 49ers, with that fifth-round pick, selected South Alabama cornerback Darrell Luter. Miami already added a talented cornerback to a deep room earlier in this draft, so if they were to have this pick, they probably wouldn’t use it on Luter.
However, with holes still on the roster, they could’ve used it on another prospect that could help in 2023 and beyond.
With Wilson entering the next season as the second running back on the depth chart, Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel would likely rather have him than a fifth-round prospect.
