How to Fix the Miami Dolphins in the 2026 NFL Draft

14 comments

1. Thanks Ryder!

2. I keep looking at CB late 3rd or 4th like Demmings and Rivers. I do find myself taking Delane at 11 sometimes.

3. I haven't got through as many prospects as i would have liked so im still finding new guys.
   I see the draft somewhat the same as you. Vega at 11 is a win for me too. Hood or Terrell at 30 and the new guy a just watched ,Sarrattat at 43, i think he is a giant sleeper as far as the little talk hes got compared to the others. Roush,ol,safety,wr or cn in the 3rd. De that can hold the run at least after

4. 🐬🆙🫡 you might’ve already done this and if you have, I apologize because I missed you. What free agent pick up do you think will have a good enough year that Miami would like to resign to a long-term extension?

5. I get at least 1 OL and one Edge in the first 3 picks every mock. My last mock I went #11 CB Delane, #30 Edge Lawrence, #43 OG Pregnon, #75 WR Hurst, #87 OG Rutledge, #90 Edge Dennis-Sutton, #94 S Bud Clark, #130 TE Roush, #151 QB Cole Payton, #227 RT Nolan Rucci and #238 DT Rene Konga.

6. I really like that idea of being a run first offense. Yes we have Willis and Achane, but we also have Ollie Gordon and Jalen Wright. If we can get guys on the offensive line who can move people out of the way, this could be an imposing running attack. And that's a much quicker fix than trying to put together a complicated passing attack.

7. Ryder, have you checked out DT Rene Konga from Louisville? I think he fits that mold of Landon Robinson and Durant. He's 6'3, 299 and his pro day #'s were very good where he would have (for DT's over 295) scored 1st in vertical, Broad, L Drill and Shuttle vs those at the combine. He also put up a 4.78 forty. Though not big sack numbers, the stat that stood out to me was I read his pass rush win rate was a ridiculous 26.1%. Watching his tape, he lined up everywhere. He could be a 7th round steal. If you ever do some breakdowns of 7th round guys, do him and maybe Nolan Rucci.

8. @Ryder 11. (OG)Vega Ioane 30. (WR) Chris Brazell 43. (DE) Zion Young 75. (OG)Chase Bisontes 87. (S)Zakee Wheatley 90. (CB) Devin Moore 94. (OT) Austin Barber 130. (DE)Caden Curry/ Keyron Crawford 149. (TE) Jack Endries 227. (S) Randon Fontenette 238. (QB) Cole Payton the ideal draft for the Dolphins. You fill a majority of your needs, but you need to develop and scheme well. Also UDFA must signs (WR) XAVIAN THOMAS (S) ISAAC SMITH (OT) TRAVIS BURKE (LB) MARVIN JONES JR. (DL) CAMERON BALL (CB) MARCUS ALLEN. If they trade Achane and Brooks or trade back I had even better options. Let me know what you think. Keep up the great work!✌️

9. We are of like mind
   With no trades, I went OT,EDGE,CB for first 3 picks
   The order varies depending on how the draft falls
   WR, OG, S on the 3rd rnd with the extra 3rd being a best fit wildcard
   I think WR is deep enough to not have to invest on the first 2 rounds
   Especially if Miami will be a run first team
   with the rest, I can double up on WR/S/CB/EDGE as I see fit or get a TE
   Don't forget we signed a blocking TE when Hill signed elsewhere
   Also, Bucky Brooks has Miamim picking OG at 11…. WITH Bain Jr still on the board…wha????

10. imo we need a wr in the first round with either pick. there’s a 99% chance we’ll be drafting a qb NEXT draft. if we bring in a new qb, he’ll have next to no one to throw to. if we choose to sit him behind willis of all people for a yet, then draft a wr the draft AFTER that, then we’d just be setting willis up for failure. which at some point i gotta ask, why bother even signing him??

11. I'd love to go Vega at 11 and iheanachor at 30

12. Ryder, I might have addressed this, but can you do a vid "MY Day 2 Targets in the NFL Draft for the Miami Dolphins! (Pt. 1 Picks 43 & 75)"? Shout out to Burch Sports (YouTube), who does vids like this. A realistic possible take, that could be options for the Fins and where they are on your board? Say "If that player is there at 43, who are your:
    1) You Must draft
    2) You can draft, safe pick
    3) You can draft or you can pass
    4) The draft board say that prospect is considered this round, but you, honestly, would stay away from
    5) Other views
    6) Honorable mentions

    Then the same for pick 75.

    And also do one maybe next week for Round 3 picks: 87, 90, 94 & maybe throw in both 4th rounders in that vid OR, you do that for next week (4th Round picks 111 & 130)

    Then the following week, possibly finishing up with the 5th (151) and 7th (227) picks, AND, add, you top 5, UDFA's (prospects that are projected to go UDFA) that you'd hope the Fins sign. (Helps pumping out content during any down times)

    Burch Sports dropped his vid today, and I would recommend that you might watch it, Ryder. Burch Sports aka Trent, is similar to your line of work via film game study for a college. I'd so luv for you and him to collab in a live. And add Zach McKinnell of "Senior Editor & Owner: FCS Football Central on SI" to that collab, man, best Fins informative vid on the net!! 🐬🆙

13. Give Hafley a few players for his defense and try to get one of these wide receivers later like Ted Hurst or Germie Bernand

14. I dream of a scenario any of top 2 cb wit a mixture of either Jordan Tyson or kc from Texas am
