Dolphins 2026 NFL Mock Draft: Post-Free Agency Projections Showcase Rebuild Strategy
With substantial draft capital and a new coaching regime, the Miami Dolphins are focusing on a strategic rebuild in the 2026 NFL Mock Drafts following free agency. Projections reveal a split in priorities, with some analysts targeting defensive needs like cornerback Mansoor Delane, while others emphasize replacing lost offensive firepower with receivers such as Jordyn Tyson or Makai Lemon.
The team’s significant dead cap issues and the trade of Jaylen Waddle have shaped this long-term vision, making the draft crucial for defining the Dolphins’ new identity and building a competitive roster under head coach Jeff Hafley.
