After all of the rumors, smokescreens, risings, fallings and in-betweens, we’ve reached the week of the 2026 NFL Draft!
Of course, there are still a few days until the first round kicks off on Thursday, so we’re not completely out of the woods yet, but soon enough, we will learn who the newest members of the Miami Dolphins’ roster are. Speaking of… Jordan Reid of ESPN took a crack at predicting who those new Dolphins will be — along with the other 31 teams in the National Football League — in a mock draft that was published early Monday morning. Based on the latest intel, who does the insider have playing in South Florida for the foreseeable future after this week’s selection process concludes?
11. Spencer Fano, OT, Utah “A new regime typically likes to go QB with its first draft pick, but there isn’t one who makes sense for the Dolphins here. So, offensive tackle is the play, and Fano makes way too much sense as Miami looks to bolster its trenches.
With Austin Jackson entering the final year of his contract and having durability concerns, Fano would provide a clear long-term option at right tackle. If GM Jon-Eric Sullivan stays true to his Packers roots, he’ll want a lineman with versatility. That’s Fano, who is capable of playing any spot up front.
