The 2026 NFL Draft starts tonight with the first of seven rounds running spread over three days. The first 32 picks will be made tonight, starting at 8 p.m. Eastern. The three-day selection process will include the second- and third-round picks on Friday, followed by rounds four through seven on Saturday. Across the entire event, 257 college prospects will become NFL rookies.

The Miami Dolphins enter the night with two picks in the first round, the catalyst to kick off a franchise-wide rebuild. With new head coach Jeff Hafley and new general manager Jon-Eric Sulliva, the Dolphins are looking to make an impact that will set up the franchise for years to come.

Miami’s first pick is the 11th overall selection. They are then scheduled to come back on the clock with the 30th selection. Will they make both of those picks? Will they trade out of either position?

We will keep up with everything happening on Thursday right here.
