Instant analysis of Dolphins taking DE Trey Moore in the NFL draft
The Miami Dolphins took Trey Moore in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft. Here's what to make of the selection.
The Miami Dolphins made six picks on the first two days of the 2026 NFL draft, and they followed that up on Day 3 by taking Texas EDGE Trey Moore at pick No. 130. Moore, 22, won the AAC Defensive Player of the Year award in his third season at UTSA before transferring to Texas for the final two years of his collegiate career.
In 57 games between the two schools, he finished with 175 tackles, 30. 5 sacks, 13 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and one interception. The Dolphins moved on from Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb over the last year, and while they've brought in a few veteran free agents to fight for snaps opposite Chop Robinson, they still need someone to step up.
Moore will get that chance this offseason. If he can outperform Joshua Uche, David Ojabo and Robert Beal Jr. , who are all on one-year deals, he could start in 2026.
If not, he'll be a solid rotational option for new head coach Jeff Hafley and defensive coordinator Sean Duggan. More Dolphins: Dolphins 2026 NFL Draft tracker: Pick-by-pick analysis This article originally appeared on Dolphins Wire: NFL draft: Instant analysis of Dolphins taking Texas DE Trey Moore
