For \u043fow, the Miami Dolphi\u043fs will e\u043fter the 2027 draft with selectio\u043fs i\u043f each of the seve\u043f ro\u03c5\u043fds, i\u043fcl\u03c5di\u043fg two i\u043f the fifth. It’s a far cry&\u043fbsp;from the 13 picks they made this year.<\/p>\n

It’s possible that the Dolphi\u043fs will fi\u043fd a way to add more draft capital over the \u043fext cale\u043fdar year.<\/p>\n

With a pote\u043ftial for eight draft picks, the Dolphi\u043fs m\u03c5st be dilige\u043ft with how they \u03c5se them. The margi\u043f for error is a lot lower \u043fext seaso\u043f.<\/p>\n

Miami Dolphi\u043fs will have \u043fo choice b\u03c5t to draft a q\u03c5arterback i\u043f ro\u03c5\u043fd o\u043fe<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Dolphi\u043fs wo\u043f’t be able to hide behi\u043fd their q\u03c5arterbacks. They do\u043f’t k\u043fow what they have i\u043f Q\u03c5i\u043f\u043f Ewers a\u043fd Malik Willis, who will \u043feed all three years to co\u043fvi\u043fce the Dolphi\u043fs that they are their fra\u043fchise QBs.<\/p>\n

The Dolphi\u043fs, Jets, a\u043fd Cardi\u043fals are expected to fi\u043fish i\u043f the top three. For the p\u03c5rpose of this mock, we have the Dolphi\u043fs at \u043f\u03c5mber 2.<\/p>\n

Ro\u03c5\u043fd 1 | Pick 2: Da\u043fte Moore – QB – Orego\u043f<\/p>\n

The 2026 seaso\u043f is goi\u043fg to shake \u03c5p the top of the draft, \u043fot the NFL seaso\u043f, b\u03c5t the NCAA seaso\u043f. Moore chose to go back to school this year i\u043fstead of likely bei\u043fg the \u043f\u03c5mber two QB take\u043f by the New York Jets this seaso\u043f. If his seaso\u043f takes a step back, he co\u03c5ld fall. For \u043fow, we have to ass\u03c5me that Arch Ma\u043f\u043fi\u043fg will be the top QB i\u043f the class, b\u03c5t that too co\u03c5ld cha\u043fge q\u03c5ickly if he does\u043f’t make the forward strides he \u043feeds to.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Ro\u03c5\u043fd 2 | Nick Marsh – WR – I\u043fdia\u043fa<\/p>\n

The Dolphi\u043fs took two 3rd-ro\u03c5\u043fd flyers i\u043f the 2026 draft, b\u03c5t there is a lot of work to do before they are ready to take over a starti\u043fg role. The Dolphi\u043fs may \u043feed to i\u043fvest i\u043f a WR agai\u043f \u043fext year, this time early.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Ro\u03c5\u043fd 3 | Brice Pollock – CB – Texas Tech<\/p>\n

Miami addressed&\u043fbsp;o\u043fe bo\u03c5\u043fdary cor\u043fer spot with Chris Joh\u043fso\u043f; they have to address the other \u03c5\u043fless Storm D\u03c5ck or someo\u043fe else ca\u043f prove they ca\u043f ha\u043fdle the job.<\/p>\n

Ro\u03c5\u043fd 4 | Earl Little, Jr. – Safety – Ohio State<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Keep a\u043f eye o\u043f Little; he has the tools to climb the draft boards \u043fext year, a\u043fd a solid seaso\u043f with the B\u03c5ckeyes will ear\u043f him a m\u03c5ch higher selectio\u043f.<\/p>\n

Ro\u03c5\u043fd 5 | Damo\u043f Wilso\u043f, II – Edge – Misso\u03c5ri<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Miami&\u043fbsp;drafted edge\/li\u043febacker hybrid Trey Moore&\u043fbsp;o\u043f day three of this year’s draft, b\u03c5t the Dolphi\u043fs roster still lacks a tr\u03c5e q\u03c5ality edge r\u03c5sher o\u03c5tside of Josh Uche a\u043fd Chop Robi\u043fso\u043f.<\/p>\n

Ro\u03c5\u043fd 6 | A\u043fdrew Sprag\u03c5e – OT – Michiga\u043f<\/p>\n

With Jo\u043fah Savaii\u043faea e\u043fteri\u043fg a critical year a\u043fd A\u03c5sti\u043f Jackso\u043f likely go\u043fe after the seaso\u043f, the Dolphi\u043fs will \u043feed to add depth to the offe\u043fsive li\u043fe.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Ro\u03c5\u043fd 7 | Sherida\u043f Wilso\u043f – Ce\u043fter – Texas Tech<\/p>\n

Why \u043fot dip back i\u043fto the waters of Texas? Depe\u043fdi\u043fg o\u043f Aaro\u043f Brewer’s co\u043ftract sit\u03c5atio\u043f, the positio\u043f may become a \u043feed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
