Miami Dolphins

The 2026 NFL Draft will be held Thursday, April 23 through Saturday April 25 in Pittsburgh, and the Miami Dolphins have needs at many positions.

The Dolphins could use players at cornerback, guard, safety, defensive end/edge and wide receiver and/or tight end.

The Miami Dolphins hold 11 picks in the draft, including 11th overall (first round), 30th overall (first round), 43th overall (second round) and three third-round picks.

"I think to impact and to improve, you have to play," Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said. "We're in a situation here where these draft picks are going to come in and they're going to play early."

Sullivan and first-year coach Jeff Hafley have replaced Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel. Sullivan and Hafley have a solid relationship as they worked together with the Packers.

"I worked in Green Bay with a guy that used to always say, ‘Be careful about trying to hit the home run and make sure you just hit the double off the wall,’" Sullivan said of draft strategy.
