Mock My Words: 2026 Dolphins Draft

[Sunstroke]

OK, I am bored and Fanspeak.com came out with a new layout for their mock drafting tool this past week, so...I ran a 4 rounder (6 phins' picks)

I didn't pay for the premium this year, so no trades at all.

Fanspeak has Miami's need positions as:  OT - Edge - QB - CB - TE - C - S. 

I waited on QB, as the only 1st rounder I could get was Ty Simpson, who I am not sure is any better than Quinn Ewers at this point.

And away we go...

Rd 1 (11):  Spencer Fano, OT, Utah  -  From what I've seen, he's a good one.
Rd 2 (43):  Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon  -  Wasn't planning on mocking TE this early, but didn't expect the top TE in this class to fall to this spot.
Rd 3 (75):  Connor Lew, OC,  Auburn  -  If I'm focusing a little on the line, the top C in the class here makes a lot of sense
Rd 3 (87):  Julian Neal, CB, Arkansas  -  Best CB left on my board. This is where I pay for focusing on the OL early.
Rd 3 (90):  Malachi Lawrence, EDGE, UCF  -  Happy to see him here, doubt he'll last this long in April. UCF didn't have a great year, but Lawrence sure did...
Rd 4 (111):  Drew Allar, QB, Penn St  -  Someone to give a little comp to Ewers.

Thoughts, opinions? Are there other positions you guys feel should be more highly prioritized? Any specific players you're lighting candles for?

I went to Profootballnetwork.com.   Free trades and all seven rounds.   I traded down 12 spots with Philly, and then traded Philly's pick to Chicago, picking up a second, a third and a fourth in the process.   I then traded down ten spots in the seventh with Minnesota picking up an extra seventh.  Here's my results:

25. (from CHI) Monroe Freeling- OT Georgia

43. Denzel Boston- WR Washington

55. Colton Hood- CB Tennessee

68. (from PHI) Trinidad Chambliss- QB Ole Miss

75. Derrick Moore- EDGE Michigan

87. Gracen Halton- DT Oklahoma

90. Sam Roush- TE Stanford

149. Febechi Nwaiwu- OG Oklahoma

163. (from CHI) Mike Washington Jr.- RB Arkansas

202. Kyle Louis- LB Pittsburgh

234. (from MIN) Cole Wisniewski- S Texas Tech

244. (from MIN) Reggie Virgil- WR Texas Tech

Not a bad haul if I say so myself.   I filled every single need, shored up the O-Line as well as the entire defense.   Plus got a QB that can sling it and take off to give Ewers competition.   Also reinforced the receiving corps since Hill is on his last legs (no pun intended) and Waddle is disgruntled and wants out.

You're a little light defensively for my taste, but like you said, if you are going to focus on the line, you are going to have to take it in the shorts somewhere else, so I'm ok with this especially if you pick up a few more defensive players (maybe a safety) in rounds 5-7.
