Latest ESPN mock has Dolphins addressing many needs during 2026 NFL Draft

30. Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn

“Faulk is another prospect who has a wide range of where he could get drafted. I wouldn’t be shocked if Miami took him with its earlier first-round pick, but he goes here in this projection. The Dolphins want to start their rebuild in the trenches and have a long enough runway to give the young Faulk (he turns 22 in September) time to develop. At 6-foot-6, 276 pounds, Faulk is NFL-ready as a run defender but will need further development to scratch his ceiling as a pass rusher.”

43. Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina

“Cisse is a high-caliber athlete who is still working to improve his technique. His scrappiness and competitiveness in man coverage would fit well in new coach Jeff Hafley’s scheme.”

75. Bryce Lance, WR, North Dakota State

“Lance is a long-striding, speedy target who averaged 21.2 yards per reception last season. He would track with Sullivan’s tendency to draft receivers on Day 2.”

87. Jalon Kilgore, S, South Carolina

“Kilgore is an interchangeable player who projects best in a STAR type of role on a Dolphins team that’s rebuilding from the ground up.”

90. Romello Height, Edge, Texas Tech

“Height projects as a designated pass rusher who has excellent bend to accelerate around blockers. He finished with 10 sacks last season.”

94. Elijah Sarratt , WR, Indiana

“Sarratt won’t impress anyone with his vertical speed, but he understands how to put his body in position to haul in passes. He could contribute right away for a Dolphins team without Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle this season.”

130. Marlin Klein , TE, Michigan

151. Jimmy Rolder, LB, Michigan

227. Anez Cooper, G, Miami

238. Jalon Daniels, QB, Kansas
