WR Tyreek Hill was selected 37th overall in the second round. Jones stayed with the Chiefs, while Hill was traded to the Miami Dolphins in 2022 for a first-round pick, a second-round pick, two fourth-round picks, and a sixth-round pick.Hill signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension with Miami in 2022. 2026 was the final scheduled year of his contract with the Dolphins. However, before the contract ended, he was released by Miami just days before the new league year began on March 11. Keeping Hill could have cost the Dolphins a cap hit of $51.1 million, with $11 million fully guaranteed.
