Did Dolphins GM reveal position he'll target early in 2026 NFL draft?
The Miami Dolphins have many holes to fill in the 2026 NFL draft, but some may be more pressing in the eyes of new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan.
This offseason, the Miami Dolphins had cornerbacks Jack Jones, Kader Kohou, Rasul Douglas, Arti Burns, Ifeatu Melifonwu and Kendall Sheffield all hit the market, leaving the room rather thin. At this point in the offseason, they have Storm Duck, Darrell Baker, Jason Marshall, JuJu Brents, Marco Wilson, Ethan Robinson, Alex Ausin, Ethan Bonner, Jason Maitre, Isaiah Johnson and Miles Battle filling out the position group. However, while the Dolphins have plenty of names on the depth chart, nothing is in stone for any of them, and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan made that clear earlier this week.
“Nobody has earned anything yet,” Sullivan said ( transcribed by the Miami Herald ). "Nobody has established themselves yet back there. That’s just the truth of the matter...
That whole back end is competing for their jobs. I like who’s on the roster. Those guys would all tell you no one has established themselves for whatever reason, whether it’s injury or inconsistent play.
We are going to put them in a bag and shake them up and see who… wins the job. I’m going to do everything in my power if there’s one available that’s a stud, I’m going to go get them. ” Sullivan's final note may point to a direction that the team is heading for the 2026 NFL draft, as they hold two picks in the first round and seven in the top 100 picks.
