The 2016 NFL Draft featured the Miami Dolphins surprisingly selecting six offensive players out of eight selections. Heading into the Draft, nearly everyone expected the Dolphins to use the selection process as a way to upgrade the defense, something they waited until 2017 to actually complete. While players like offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil in the first round and Kenyan Drake in the third allowed the team to add players who seemed to fit holes in the offense - with Tunsil starting at left guard in 2016 and moving to left tackle in 2017 while Drake was initially envisioned as part of the team’s platoon of running backs before the emergence of Jay Ajayi - the sixth-round selection of Jakeem Grant both excited and confused.
