Dolphins get four compensatory picks, now have 11 overall in April’s NFL Draft

The NFL on Tuesday awarded the Dolphins four additional draft picks in April’s NFL draft as compensation for losing several free agents last offseason.

The Dolphins were awarded a third-round pick for losing Robert Hunt to Carolina, a fourth-round pick for losing Christian Wilkins to Las Vegas and two seventh-round picks, one of which compensated for the loss of DeShon Elliott to Baltimore.

Those four picks leave the Dolphins with 11 draft picks.

The third-round pick will be 98th overall and the fourth round pick will be 135th.

The seventh-round picks will be 253rd and 256th.

Miami also has its own pick in the first round (13th), second round (48th), fourth round (114th), fifth round (151st) and seventh round (No. 232).

From previous trades, the Dolphins have a fifth-round pick from Denver (No. 156 overall) and a seventh-round pick from Chicago (No. 226).

The Dolphins traded their own third-round pick to Philadelphia during a draft-day trade up for running back Jaylen Wright last April.
