Picks 39 and 70 could get you back into the end of the first round. Once you get towards the end of the 3rd round the picks dramatically drop in value. They might be able to package our 2 5th round picks for a 4th rounder.

Using a 5th (example) doesn't do much when moving thru R1. Mostly just to round out the offer. It DOES have value moving to R4 (example). I expect Miami to move around in lower picks
Yeah the 3 5ths we have may do some mid round moving around in the 4th or 3rd or just used a sweeteners. ...we have like 3 7ths though... that wont do much of anything
At least in the 5th round 2 of the picks are early on and back to back, thats something

Our 5ths, 6ths and 7ths should be flipped for 4ths and 5ths next year. That’s the greatest value they pose to us right now.
We will use some of those picks but by and large I expect them to be used in trades to sweeten deals and like I stated in the first paragraph.
I suspect we will double up on RBs so I expect to see one grabbed late and possibly in the 2nd/3rd area.
The wise thing to do long term is to start flipping late picks now and continue that trend for 3-4 years. Also helps insure not too many players become FAs at the same time.

If Miami uses the picks well, the team could get maybe six legitimate starters from this draft. Traditionally, first and second round picks are good bets to be starters. The Dolphins have five picks in the first two rounds. Factor in that this is supposed to be a pretty deep draft and perhaps you can find a starter in the third.
I can see the team dealing up and down, targeting their types of players and maybe getting some additional picks for 2021.

I agree that the major purposes of late round picks are for deal sweeteners and to be flipped for picks one round earlier in the following years draft.
Having said that , I think there are three other important aspects of late round picks.
1. This is where you often find your specialists. Kickers, punters, returners of kicks and punts, long snappers etc.
2. This is where you take flyers on Div 2 and Div 3 stars who may be diamonds in the rough
3. This is where you draft higher ranked players who fell due to injury or character concerns. No, Tua won't be available in round 5, He may not be available at pick 5 but a 3rd round rated player may be available in round 5. With medical rechecks being an issue because of COVID 19, we may just get lucky in round 5 this year.

Who knows how each team values each pick, but here’s an interesting article trying to value each pick for this draft:

Well you can't field a team using only day 1 and day 2 picks.
The good teams consistently find starters and depth in Round 4-7.
Not to mention UDFA.
And as has already been pointed out, you can use them to move up or to acquire future picks.
Miami could use some of their 3 5ths to move up into Round 4 to target a specific player they covet.
Or they could trade 2 5's for a future 3rd or 4th.
