Jon-Eric Sullivan and Mike McDaniel show Miami Dolphins are resetting Roster in 2024 NFL Draft
The Miami Dolphins did not approach the 2024 NFL Draft as a team looking to paper over one or two weaknesses. They drafted like an organisation accepting that the squad needed to be rebuilt from the middle out. Thatās why this class is significant. It was a reset, and thatās what the first offseason with Jon-Eric Sullivan has been all about.
Miamiās intentions were clear long before the first pick was made. Following Tyreek Hillās release, as ESPN highlighted, the Dolphins entered 2026 with a new general manager, a new head coach and a plan to put more emphasis on building through the draft rather than chasing big-name signings.
That direction was reflected in the way Miami built its draft class. The Dolphins added players like Kadyn Proctor, Chris Johnson, and Jacob Rodriguez, along with two third-round wide receivers, more linebackers, a safety, a guard, and extra depth at tight end. This wasnāt about swinging big on one or two players. It was about filling out the roster with affordable talent still under team control.
Leading up to the draft, ESPN reported that Jon-Eric Sullivan was focused on building around youth and value as Miami went through a roster overhaul. The selections reflected that approach. Proctor provides size on the line, Johnson adds athleticism to the secondary, and the rest of the class is built to offer depth rather than banking on star power.

The Dolphins spent years reaching for quick fixes, throwing money at big names in hopes of patching things up. This draft looked nothing like that. The volume alone sent a clear message ā Miami is building competition, depth and future starters all at once. Itās what teams do when they stop pretending to be closer than they are.
Itās unlikely Miami will look significantly better right away just because they brought in 13 rookies. That isnāt really the point of this year. What matters is that the front office approached it with an understanding of how thin their roster had become and how much work was needed. This wasnāt about creating an illusion of a quick fix ā it was about giving the Dolphins a more sustainable foundation after a season spent tearing things down.
