Three potential picks for the Miami Dolphins at #11 Overall
This is the pick where the front office should let the board come to them. In full rebuild mode right now, taking the best player available is best
If/when the Dexter Lawrence trade is finalized, the New York Giants might become the sixth NFL team with two picks in the first round of the 2026 draft. The current list of five consists of the Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins. It goes without saying that these teams could likely have a more interesting draft night than the rest of the league.
For now, we'll focus on the Phins, who are on the clock at #11 and again at #30, and currently in full on rebuilding mode, from top to bottom. Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU This would be the pick to make if the front office wants to let the board come to them. When you're in total overhaul mode, taking the best player available can easily also overlap with filling a major team need.
Delane has long been regarded as the top corner available in this class, and he only solidified that status with the monster Pro Day he had last month. In running a blazing fast 4. 35 in the 40-yard dash, Delane established himself as a top 15 overall prospect with a very high floor.
