Multiple mainstays of the last few seasons have departed Miami recently, including quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and pass rusher Bradley Chubb — to name a few.

Soon, Sullivan will have the opportunity to add a slew of new players to the team when the 2026 NFL Draft kicks off on April 23rd, and the team has 11 picks at their disposal. Currently, the team is doing their homework on many draft prospects — including those who could be selected with the Dolphins’ first first-round pick at number 11 overall. On Wednesday, NFL analyst Ryan Fowler reported that the Dolphins have a top-30 visit lined up with premier defensive back Mansoor Delane out of LSU.
