Miami Herald • • sports
Key Points:
- Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan has increased the team's draft capital from eight to 11 picks by trading players like Jaylen Waddle and Minkah Fitzpatrick, but still seeks more to address multiple team needs.
- Miami is considering trading down from the 30th to the 34th pick to Arizona, potentially acquiring additional third-round picks, with the motivation being Arizona's interest in quarterback Ty Simpson and the benefits of selecting him in the first round.
- NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah's final mock draft projects the Dolphins selecting edge rusher Rueben Bain at No. 11 and Utah tackle Caleb Lomu at No. 30, highlighting Miami's focus on bolstering both defense and offensive line.
- Defensive tackle Kenneth Grant, Miami’s 13th overall pick last year, is working on improving his technique and strength after a modest rookie season, embracing a "clean slate" approach under coach Jeff Hafley.
- The Dolphins emphasize a merit-based culture where playing time is earned regardless of draft status or contract size, fostering competition and a strong desire among players like receiver Malik Washington to prove themselves.
