2026 NFL Draft Miami Dolphins mock draft roundup: One position is becoming increasingly popular with the 30th overall pick
The Miami Dolphins’ 2026 NFL Draft plan will soon be revealed. Miami’s got two picks in the top-30 — and one position is becoming more popular with the second.
The Miami Dolphins‘ 2026 NFL Draft plans will soon become known.
We’re 10 days away from the 2026 NFL Draft and Miami is, presumably, on the cusp of finalizing their draft board and locking in. They are scheduled for 11 total picks, none as important as the first two — scheduled at No. 11 and No. 30 overall in the first round. What will Miami do with the picks? Let’s take a look at some of the recent mock drafts from across the internet.
2026 NFL Draft Miami Dolphins mock draft roundup
Rob Rang, FOX Sports – WR Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State & CB Colton Hood, Tennessee
The process here does land two players that would presumably be starters quickly for the Dolphins. But the Dolphins drafting two perimeter players early on is a tough sell for a team that promised earlier this offseason to build the roster “from the inside out”. I’m not saying it isn’t possible, but I am saying it wouldn’t be in line with Jon-Eric Sullivan’s word this winter.
I do like the fit of Colton Hood as a physical press corner. For me, everything is on the table at pick No. 30. But Jordyn Tyson isn’t just a wide receiver, he’s got extensive injuries on his resume and Miami needs to mitigate risk early on.
Rhett Lewis, NFL.com – WR Makai Lemon, USC & CB Colton Hood, Tennessee
I see the logic for Rhett’s picks. And again, I really do like the prospect of drafting Colton Hood. The best thing this mock has going for it is that the receiver involved doesn’t have an extensive list of injury issues. But you can count me surprised if the Miami Dolphins come out the gate swinging at wide receiver — regardless of what receiver it actually is.
USA TODAY – OT Francis Mauigoa, Miami & CB Chris Johnson, San Diego State
This one is probably the one I would bet is a more likely outcome versus the wide receiver picks. Sullivan’s background is littered with offensive line, pass rush, and cornerback picks in the first round and this checks both boxes.
The biggest question for both of these picks is determining whether or not they’ll make it to Miami’s picks. The Dolphins may need a little extra help from someone in the top-10 making a surprise pick at offensive tackle if this one is going to come to life.
Kyle Crabbs, A to Z Sports – OL Spencer Fano, Utah & EDGE TJ Parker, Clemson
Hey, that’s me! This mock will drop later this week, but y’all get the scoop because you’re here now. ESPN’s Jordan Reid tied the Miami Dolphins to Fano pretty confidently this past week and I totally understand why. The Packer Way has traditionally leaned on converting tackles to guard — which would be the Fano plan in year one. But Fano also offers a payoff to play right tackle long-term, which leans into the traditional value you’re looking for with a top-15 pick. Fano has a great profile for an outside zone scheme and his tackle prospects got a boost when he checked in at his Pro Day with an arm length that was nearly a full inch longer than what he measured at the Combine. (Someone teach that Combine scout how to take arm measurements!)
Parker feels like a great addition to the Dolphins’ EDGE room. He’s a different style player than many of the other players currently in the room — he offers length and physicality to play to the formational strength. He’s a power rusher who has a very good long-arm and can collapse the pocket.
