Last Draft Update: $filemodtime EDT"; ?>
The 2005 NFL Draft will begin on Saturday, April 23 at noon at the Jacob Javits convention center in New York City. Unlike previous years, the Dolphins actually have a pick in the top 10 - in fact, they have the 2nd overall pick. Somehow, this seems a fitting way to usher in the Nick Saban era.
Prior to the Draft, the Dolphins have 5 picks - one each in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 7th rounds - having traded away their 2nd, 3rd and 6th round picks to other teams as noted below. The Dolphins have their highest pick in 34 years at the number 2 overall spot, but preliminary indications are that they will try to trade down.
The draft will be covered live on ESPN TV, as it has in past years.
