It's hard to imagine the Miami Dolphins not being active in trading down in round one of the 2026 NFL Draft. Jon-Eric Sullivan wants to build the foundation of his team through this process. He doesn't need high picks right now; he needs more of them.
Miami has eight draft picks this year, for now. It would not be surprising to see Sullivan work to build upon his cache of selections in 2027. One of those reasons is that this year's draft class isn't especially good across the rounds.
The Dolphins made their intentions clear earlier in February when they released James Daniels, Tyreek Hill, Nick-Westbrook Ikhine, and informed Bradley Chubb that he, too, would be released.
