Predicting the Dolphins 2026 53-man roster after the draft

Now that the 2026 NFL draft is complete and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan put together his first class, it's never too early to look down the road and see what the Miami Dolphins 53-man roster could look like for the upcoming season. Of course, there can be some veteran free agent signings, especially after June 1, but it can still be a fun exercise to predict how this young Dolphins roster can shape up. QB (2) Malik Willis Quinn Ewers The Dolphins brought in Malik Willis to hopefully be their franchise quarterback, while last year’s seventh-round pick, Quinn Ewers, will be his backup.

The Dolphins signed Cam Miller as well, who could be a practice squad player, as well as 2026 undrafted free agent Mark Gronowski, who could compete with him for that third spot should they start the season carrying one. RB (3) De'Von Achane Ollie Gordon II Jaylen Wright Led by superstar De’Von Achane, who is rumored to sign an extension soon with the team, the Dolphins' backfield has a solid mix of speed and power. Entering his third season, Jaylen Wright will compete with last year’s rookie Ollie Gordon to spell Achane, while one needs to establish themselves as the go-to short-yardage back.

Miami signed a pair of undrafted free agents in Oregon State’s Anthony Hankerson and Texas A&M’s Le’Veon Moss. Particularly Moss, could be a potential rosterable back should Miami elect to keep four in the backfield. WR (6) Jalen Tolbert Tutu Atwell Malik Washington Theo Wease Jr.

Caleb Douglas - R Kevin Coleman Jr. – R +Chris Bell (IR/PUP to start season) The Dolphins selected a trio of receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft, and they will join a pair of offseason free agents as new targets in South Florida. Third-year veteran Malik Washington is a lock, and last year’s UDFA Theo Wease Jr.
