The NFL Draft is tonight. Keep up with all the action right here.
The 2023 NFL Draft is about to kick off. Over the next three days, the NFL will see 259 college prospects added to team rosters. The first pick, held by the Carolina Panthers after a trade with the Chicago Bears, will occur sometime after the 8 p.m. ET start on Thursday night. The rest of the first round will then unfold over the next several hours before a pause until Friday night for the second and third rounds.
The Miami Dolphins are light on draft picks this year, holding just four picks as the draft gets ready to kick off. Will they make moves to increase that number? Could they look to trade away picks to create more for the 2024 NFL Draft?
Check out DraftKings Sportsbook, the official sportsbook partner of SB Nation.
Miami’s first time on the clock will not happen on Thursday night, unless a surprise trade is made. The Dolphins will make their first selection Friday night, during the second round, when the 51st overall pick is made. The team also has selections in the third, sixth, and seventh rounds.
While Thursday night is most likely going to be a quiet night for the Dolphins, we will keep up with any rumors, news, or updates throughout the night – and throughout the draft here in our live updates article.

On Wednesday, reported indicated the Panthers had made their choice on which quarterback – most likely either Alabama’s Bryce Young or Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud – they will select first overall. They have not indicated which it will be.
Panthers HC Frank Reich said GM Scott Fitterer went into his office yesterday & asked him his preferred QB to take with No.1 overall pick.
“It was kind of like a proposal. And I said yes. We have a consensus and we are excited.”

Of course, they will probably still take the entire 15 minutes authorized to make the pick, but it sounds like the Panthers are ready with their selection.
