Jon-Eric Sullivan, the newly appointed general manager of the Miami Dolphins, is preparing for his first NFL Draft, scheduled to take place next week in Pittsburgh. With 11 picks at his disposal, including two first-round selections at No. 11 and No. 30, Sullivan is focused on addressing several key needs within the team. He has acknowledged that the Dolphins lack established players and intends to adopt a best-player-available strategy, which he believes will help build a strong foundation for the future. Sullivan has already made one trade, sending wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos, but he has made it clear that star running back De’Von Achane is not available for trade. While he is open to trading, Sullivan prefers to acquire more picks rather than move up for a single prospect. He expressed confidence in the team's direction, stating, 'Rome wasn’t built in a day,' and emphasized the importance of patience in the rebuilding process.
