It's the daft time again!! This year we are trying to spread the love and do two winners!! The contest is simple.
1. Donate $10 to the site per entry, multiple entries allowed. You can do this by pressing the orange Donate button that is on the home page, underneath the donation meter. Please leave a note with your username, as well as the phrase "Draft Contest" so the staff know that is what it is for.
2. Once you've donated, come back to this thread. The contest works as follows:
You get to pick 15 names of players you think the Dolphins will draft, a point will be awarded for each correct pick.
1st winner
Also, pick 20 names of players you think are going in the first round and the position they will be drafted (NOT TEAM). A point is awarded for each correct pick and a point for each correct position.
2nd winner
• Two winners
• Most points for correct Miami picks
• Most points for correct 1st round
• 35 total players
So for clarification in round 1:
CJ Stroud 1st
Bryce Young 2nd
Will Anderson 3rd
Etc...
If Young goes 1st, Stroud goes 2nd and Anderson goes 3rd that equals 4 points out of a possible 6 and so on, a perfect score would be 40.
In the even of a tie for each contest please also provide answers to these questions:
Total # of defensive players taken in round 1? 16
Total # of QB takes in round 1? 3
Total trades in round 1? 7
If you wish to enter multiple times just note that on your donation under comment section.
Good luck all and please have fun!

| Pick | Team | Selection | Position | School | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Carolina Panthers | Bryce Young | QB | Alabama | After catapulting to the first overall selection by making a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears several weeks ago, the Carolina Panthers finally get to draft Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. Frank Reich and the organization now have their quarterback of the future. |
| 2 | Houston Texans | C.J. Stroud | QB | Ohio State | The Houston Texans take Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud to be their quarterback of the future. Rampant speculation leading up to the draft had penciled in Tyree Wilson or Will Anderson at the selection, but Stroud is their guy. Houston still has the #12 overall pick to nab another top prospect. |
| 3 | Houston Texans | Will Anderson Jr. | OLB | Alabama | The Texans make a bold move up to #3 and take Alabama sensation Will Anderson. He is this year's most fearsome defender and will become one of the NFL's best pass rushers within several seasons. What an incredible move for Houston! |
| 4 | Indianapolis Colts | Anthony Richardson | QB | Florida | The Indianapolis Colts make a bold move and selection Florida Gators phenom Anthony Richardson. One of the most athletic quarterbacks in draft history, Richardson isn't the sum of all his parts, but could become a transcendent quarterback if all pans out. |
| 5 | Seattle Seahawks | Devon Witherspoon | CB | Illinois | The Seattle Seahawks add Devon Witherspoon at corner to go alongside Tariq Woolen. Fantastic pick for the Seahawks, who now have the potential for one of the NFL's most impeccable secondaries. |
| 6 | Arizona Cardinals | Paris Johnson Jr. | OT | Ohio State | After the Cardinals traded back with the Houston Texans to #12, they move back up to #6 overall and get Ohio State's Paris Johnson. He is this draft's best offensive tackle and they now have a stalwart prospect to develop Kyler Murray. |
| 7 | Las Vegas Raiders | Tyree Wilson | OLB | Texas Tech | Tyree Wilson might have the most potential out of any defensive line prospect in this year's draft. It's a smart choice for the Raiders who need a consistent threat up front to be a force in their trenches. Bummed he is going to the AFC West. |
| 8 | Atlanta Falcons | Bijan Robinson | RB | Texas | The Atlanta Falcons take Longhorns standout Bijan Robinson. Easily the draft's best playmaker, Robinson will be an impact player as a rookie and could become the league's most dynamic running back in short order. Love this selection for ATL! |
| 9 | Philadelphia Eagles | Jalen Carter | DL | Georgia | The Eagles trade up one spot and land Bulldogs standout Jalen Carter. Rumors surrounding his off-the-field demeanor had surfaced recently, but he flashes and elite skill set and should be a dynamic defender for Philadelphia's defensive front. |
| 10 | Chicago Bears | Darnell Wright | OT | Tennessee | Just a few weeks ago Darnell Wright was being talked of as a late first-round or early-second round selection. Now he is a Top 10 NFL Draft selection after being taken by the Chicago Bears. He is a brawler at the point of attack and has the finishing instinct you desire from an NFL tackle. |
| 11 | Tennessee Titans | Peter Skoronski | OT | Northwestern | Northwestern's Skoronski might not have the length to stick at tackle in the NFL, but he's a plus competitor and one of the draft's most well-rounded players. He is a safe pick for the Titans who need some attitude up front to fortify their offensive line. Very high floor for him and should be a good player for a long time. |
| 12 | Detroit Lions | Jahmyr GIbbs | RB | Alabama | The Lions throw the NFL landscape a curveball by taking Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs. I thought he was a first-round caliber player, but I never envisioned him being a Top 12 selection. He will be an instant contributor, but this seems a little wild to me! |
| 13 | Green Bay Packers | Lukas Van Ness | DE | Iowa | Lukas Van Ness is an absolute monster on the field. Phenomenal pick for the Packers whose defense was in need of a premier talent to create havoc in opposing team's backfields. I love this selection for Green Bay. |
| 14 | Pittsburgh Steelers | Broderick Jones | OT | Georgia | The Steelers give Kenny Pickett a new best friend by selecting Georgia's Broderick Jones. He's a top-flight tackle with good power, quick feet, and quality experience. Great selection for Pittsburgh. |
| 15 | New York Jets | Will McDonald IV | DE | Iowa State | Will McDonald IV was his conference's most elite pass rusher for several seasons. His production dipped this past year, but he was tasked to play multiple techniques. He became a better player and has dynamic bend and athleticism. Huge upside potential under Saleh's tutelage. Interesting pick. |
| 16 | Washington Commanders | Emmanuel Forbes | CB | Mississippi State | Forbes is a plus athlete with tremendous length and ball skills. He has a small frame, but he's a premium cover corner who operates best in off and zone coverages where he can use his football intelligence to diagnose what the quarterback is doing. Interesting pick for the Commanders. |
| 17 | New England Patriots | Christian Gonzalez | CB | Oregon | Oregon's Christian Gonzalez is an incredible selection for the New England Patriots. He was ranked as a lot of pundits top-rated corners. He has the size, length, and speed you can't teach and is adept matching up with opposing receivers. I just wish he made a few more plays on the ball. If he can start taking it away more, the sky is the limit. |
| 18 | Detroit Lions | Jack Campbell | LB | Iowa | Dan Campbell meet Jack Campbell. The Lions get one of the draft's most productive and instinctual defenders. I love the way he plays. His tenacity is unmatched and has Pro-Bowl caliber talent. Good pick. |
| 19 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Calijah Kancey | DT | Pitt | Kancey's at his best as a penetrating defensive tackle getting to attack a single gap. He's undersized, but has elite get-off at the line of scrimmage and makes a lot of plays in the backfield. |
| 20 | Seattle Seahawks | Jaxon Smith-Njigba | WR | Ohio State | Jaxon Smith-Njigba had some hamstring injuries this past year, but he was a top target for the Buckeyes' offense the year prior. He can play anywhere in a receiving formation and has top-tier athletic traits and can throw himself open. That's a great pick for Seattle's offense. |
