MIAMI — The amphitheater at Bayside Marketplace in Miami was packed Thursday night with Dolphins fans for an NFL draft watch party.
They all wanted to know who the Fins were going to take with their first pick at No. 21 overall.
"[I want the team to select] someone that can come in and start immediately and have an immediate impact on the game, whether it's an edge rusher or offensive lineman," Dolphins fan Lisa Siegel said.

5 greatest positions of need for Dolphins in 2024 NFL Draft
Miami has six picks in the draft, which concludes Saturday.
On average, only 224 players go into the league each year.
Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips said the guys have to relax and take it all in.
"I just urge anybody going through the process to soak it all in and no matter what happens or where they go to keep grinding and good things will happen," Phillips said.
So, what does a good draft look like to this crowd?
"I think they need an offensive line to kind of balance things out," fan Jonathan Smith said. "Their running game was very, very good. It was a bad thing last year because [running back De'Von] Achane got hurt, but overall they were a great team."
