The Miami Dolphins made 13 selections during the 2026 NFL Draft as general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan looks to completely overhaul the roster this offseason.

With needs all across the roster, the Dolphins wound up adding two tight ends, one in Will Kacmerek in Round 3, and then in the 5th round, they took Mississippi State tight end, Saore Traore.

But, somehow, the Dolphins weren't the only team to draft Traore this week. As the CFL Global Draft Tracker notes, the Dolphins' new tight end was also selected in Round 2 of the CFL Draft by the BC Lions.

Dolphins' Seydou Traore selected

In Round 2 of the 2026 Global Draft for the CFL, the BC Lions selected Traore with the seventh selection. That's now twice in the last week that Traore has been drafted, as he's been selected by the Dolphins and now the BC Lions.

This is a very fascinating scenario playing out for the Dolphins, the BC Lions, and especially for Traore.

Unlike almost every other player that was drafted (besides Bryce Boettcher, who was drafted by the Houston Astros in MLB's draft), Traore has two options he could choose from.
