Only limited chaos last night I see. LOL
I wouldn’t be upset with what you guys picked.
me either, even with Mauigoa’s back
we really need to hit on those first 2, if one of the top guys are gone at 11 I’d hope we could trade back a little
at 30 wouldn’t mind trading back a few spots either, but only if several targeted players for 30 are still there
don’t want to trade back, just to trade back and pick Koa Misi

I would probably take Young over Any of the CBs if I realized he was on the board
Reply
I agree with this post. I think edge is more critical than CB. Chop is a disappointment, if not a bust.
he’s probably more immature, than a bust
his rookie season Phillips and Chubb were both hurt, so he got as much PT as he could handle
his 2nd year they were both back, he played less and probably cried about it, unlike Van Ginkle when he was here
being the man again we’ll see
I hate wordpress! I tried all the way up to 9pm to get back on.
Great job MikeE!!
Thanks Mike! I wished you could have stayed on, had no idea stuff was going to spam. Very frustrating!
LMAO!
R1 P31 – Patriots – Needs – EDGE, OL, DL, TE, WR, Rub -n- tug, Diana Russini
If you get a rub-n-tug, you don’t get Pregnon
I was giddy at that point, but I thought was pretty funny myself! LOL
Gotter done and will be interesting to see how close we get.
I think there’s going to be a decent amount of moving around, which will throw a wrench into any mock that doesn’t feature trades
True
Another thing to keep in mind tonight is some players will higher on their board than what the consensus has out there. So there may be a player they pick that seems a little of a reach but not to them. Every team has a couple of those picks anyway.
I can remember watching many drafts and thinking damn that guys was a 4th rounder and so and so took him in the late 2nd.
Just like these edges in DDS and Derrick more where the consensus has DDS a very late 3rd and Moore a 4th rounder. I bet both go before we pick at 75. I hope not.
Absolutely right! I’d bet a lot of teams boards look very different than what we see on m any of the major sites.
aiight, I’m going to hold you to that this weekend😜
cause we all know the first time you feel we reached…
This is the first year that I watched anyone’s Big Board videos. (I watched Crabbs’ Youtube podcast) I thought Crabbs did a great job with his horizontal and vertical board. I really liked how he color coded things like athletic freak talent and injury risks with color codes. I also liked how he showed position flexibility by placing the players card 1/2 in one position and 1/2 in the other position.
The way he broke it down let you see a lot of information just at a glance.
Yeah, I liked Crabbs’ big board video.
I am so focused on the Draft tonight that I can’t get any work done. (and I need to! LOL)
So I read that the NFL has reduced the time allowed for each pick tonight from 10 minutes to 8 minutes. So, we should be selecting around 9:15 – 9:30 for our first pick.
If all the teams take all 8 minutes (I doubt it) We should see pick #30 around Midnight. whamp wahhh
Only for them to go to commercial and then come back and tell us there was a trade and we have to wait until tomorrow to see our second pick.
I’d be Ok with the outcome, not the waiting
everything I’ve said up to this point was against taking gambles like this, but it is intriguing, intriguingly stupid
https://phinphanatic.com/nfl-insider-predicts-miami-dolphins-to-make-massive-gamble-in-latest-mock-draft-01kpvgncngjv
at some point you have to have standards for insane drafting behavior
the GB way is stability not wild west shit
That would be a wait three years to see for me. I don’t like it on the surface.
we’re not GB south yet, we need to establish a foundation first
Billball is more like what we’ll be this year
Daniel Jeremiah has an interesting final mock draft starting with Jets taking Bailey at #2. I mentioned yesterday I have a gut feeling that is who the Jets will pick also. Then, with Reese still on the board he has the Saints who need edge/lb trading up with the Cardinals for Reese. Browns taking Fano. Has Love and Tate for both Giants picks. Delane to Chiefs.
Then has Bain falling and taking him for us. Also has Downs falling to us and Cowboys take him next.
Has eagles trading up with Bucs to take Kayden Proctor. Has Edge Lawrence jumping all the way up to 20 to the Cowboys.
Blake Miller, Iheanachor and Iaone all going before 30.
I also mentioned this the other day. Cardinals looking to trade up past the Jets to get Ty Simpson and that the Dolphins at #30 were in play. Well, he has the Cardinals trading up with the Bills instead at #26 to get Ty Simpson.
Lastly of note, he has the Chiefs doubling at DB with Stukes who can play Safety, NB and CB. He’s very versatile.
Oh shit, forgot our last pick.
Jeremiah has us taking OT Lamu at #30. So Bain and Lamu on day 1.
He mentioned Lamu may be good enough to plug and play RT and we could move Jackson inside to OG. I’m not sure about how I feel about that.
Was going to post tidbits but will just post the link. Makes sense.
https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/news/nfl-coaches-sound-alarm-college-football-transfer-portal-chaos-ahead-of-draft
Good article. I posted one clip from it but I was tempted to post several, like you alluded to.
back to Billy ball (the premise, that getting on base is all that matters)
the football equivalent is getting 1st downs
the Eagles played this to an SB win, by using all 4 downs to get 10, which often used a tush push to get it
so what type of players can we use to accomplish this? A Jordyn Tyson type of WR? Think not. Making Lemon would be a good start, hopefully after a trade back, but there’s other cheaper versions
Vegas or Mauigoa could drastically change our short yardage conversion rate
draft secondly a DT, that plays the run well
many different ways to strategise a draft, this is just one of many, but it seems to suit our situation the best with no cap space
Draft day, wooohooo!
Random advice: Unless you’re at a Crab Feed, never begin a sentence with ‘I like crabs’.
Why? I do like Crabs…they kind of tickle…..
BBM likes to go crabbing
Another reason not to take a DT in this draft?
The NFL Draft is supposed to be college football’s ultimate report card. But some coaches around the league are raising serious concerns that the transfer portal era is changing the grade curve in ways that could have long-term consequences for the sport’s pipeline.
The alarm is loudest in the trenches. One veteran NFL defensive line coach told The Athletic‘s Bruce Feldman this year’s interior defensive lineman class is “the worst D-tackle group in 10 years.” That’s a remarkable statement in a sport where the best big men often define championship teams.
Yeah, that was part of the article I posted earlier. I don’t think this pertains to all DT’s in the draft. Some have stayed put and been with their college team most if not all their college career. Like Kayden McDonald was at Ohio State all 3 years.
Saw a mock draft where Bain fell to us but we traded out with the Bucs. We traded 11 and 227 for 15 and 77. Bucs took Bain.
Then we took OG Iaone at 15 and DT Kayden McDonald at #30. I think I would take that trade if it resulted in those picks and another earlier 3rd.
I think Iaone may go to the Ravens at 14 though unless they go Lemon or McCoy.
I would take that trade, but I would target some other position than DT at 30. ANY other position except kicker, punter or long snapper.
Ok, I lied yesterday. So sue me. I NOW present to you my final mock draft of the 2026 mock season.
17. Monroe Freeling OT Georgia A-
34. Zion Young EDGE Missouri B+
43. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren S Toledo A+
50. Emmanuel Pregnon OG Oregon A+
75. Elijah Sarratt WR Indiana A
87. Derrick Moore EDGE Michigan B
90. Connor Lew OC Auburn C+
92. Justin Joly TE NC State B+
94. Will Lee III CB Texas A&M B
130. Tacario Davis CB Washington A-
151. Cole Payton QB North Dakota State C-
227. Andre Fuller CB Toledo C-
238. Eric McAlister WR TCU B-
2027 ARI 2nd
The AI grading the draft liked most of my picks at least…
Not enough guys with the first name starting with E. LOL
LOL I didn’t even notice the back to back Emmanuels
How do you get rid of crabs?
You shave half your pubic hair, light the other half and fire and then stab the crabs with an ice pick when the run out of the fire….
😂
I wonder how these mock draft sites structure their grading system. Why do I get an A when I draft a guy sometimes and I get a B for the same guy in the same position on another draft?
If we took Vega Ioane instead of Mauigoa I would not be upset. In some ways I think Ioane might be the better player at OG
Everything I’ve heard is Ioane is a better pure G than Mauigoa is at G, but he doesn’t have the Positional Flexibility and ability to kick out to T that Mauigoa does.
I would want to trade back if we were to take Ioane with our first pick.
^
I saw a mock this morning from Connor Orr where he traded back from #11 to #23 with Philadelphia and picked up Phili’s 2027 1st round pick
He wound up taking KC Conception at 23 and Chris Johnson CB at 30.
I think this would fuck up the rest of our draft because we would miss on the best Oline and Edge but I do like the extra 2027 1st round pick!
Yeah, if he had taken OL at 23, that would have been a nice trade.
I keep seeing all these final mocks today that insist that the Dolphins MUST take a WR in the first 3 picks. (round 1 or 2) because of Malik Willis.
I strongly disagree. Willis is getting his $20M, he is NOT the franchise future, screw that. Set up the team for success by building the right way.
I would (and have in most of my mocks) target Elijah Sarrett in the 3rd
I’d love if the draft fell this way too.
Mansoor Delane would love to play for the Miami Dolphins and specifically Jeff Hafley
Tony Dowe of Round Table Sports spoke with Delane ahead of the draft and asked him about playing for Hafley and the Dolphins. Fans will love his response.
“Hafley, that’s my guy. Recruited me out of high school. Knowing the type of guy, the standard he has, the way he is going to get that program where it needs to be. That’d be a blessing.”
And there he is below. lol
BBM’s Final No Simulator Mock Draft
11 Mansoor Delane CB LSU
30 T.J. Parker EDGE Clemson
43 A.J. Haulcy S LSU
75 Gennings Dunker OG Iowa
87 Bryce Lance WR North Dakota State
90 Jalen Farmer OG Kentucky
94 Kaleb Proctor DT SE Louisiana
130 Kaelon Black RB Indiana
151 Travis Burke RT Memphis

UDFA Priority Signings: QB Jalon Daniels, WR Zavion Thomas, TE Lance Mason, OT Enrique Cruz, C Bryce Foster, CB Collin Wright, DT Aaron Graves, Edge Cian Slone, S Wydett Williams
This article doesn’t go into how the rankings are graded, but I would have bet my home that Green Bay would not be ranked DEAD LAST!!
https://dolphinstalk.com/2026/04/report-ranks-the-teams-with-the-most-nfl-draft-success-miami-dolphins-rank-25/
Yeah, I wouldn’t use stats from a betting company like Oliva did in this article.
They have had their misses like every other team but when they had 11 picks in the 2022 draft they ended up with 7 STARTERS. An 8th pick ended up being a good Edge backup in Kingsley Enagbare.
They went 3 for 3 on their OL picks that draft and all became immediate starters, even the OL they picked in the 7th round in OT Rasheed Walker.
Did you see the rankings?
KC #1 with a 94.5 score
GB #32 with a 13.3 score
Miami had a 39.2 score
Methodology
We looked at every NFL team’s draft picks over the last 10 drafts and analyzed them based on the following metrics:
Draft pick data was sourced from Pro-Football-Reference.
In the last 10 years Green Bay has selected 1 all pro and only 5 pro bowl players. IN TEN YEARS.
Makes Sully’s theory of two “good players over one great player” kind of risky when you look at these outcomes.
in the same 10 year span the Dolphins have selected 7 pro bowl players and 5 all pro players.
I’m tired of hearing about this draft or that draft being weaker or stronger. The draft is what you make it. Draft well, it’s a good draft. Draft bad, and well, you know…
^ makes too much sense
If the Ravens want Ioane….then we should take him.
LOL
There are so many different ways we can go in this draft. I’m excited to see how it all pans out. They cut the selection time to 8 minutes so it won’t take as long. 😂
yeah, 8 x 30 = 240
240 / 60 = 4
so we should be going to commercial just before the 30th pick at Midnight tomorrow morning, only to come back to find out the pick has been traded. LOL
😂
BBM, I see you are “a fan” of taking Nowakowski in the 7th round of your mocks as FB like me. I have noticed this week that I miss out on him being taken in the 6th round in more than half my mocks.
He may not even be on Sully’s radar, but he is a man crush for me this season.
Same!
Do you think the real draft will be quicker than our Mock draft last night?
Whatever! I don’t want to work anymore today and you guys are not keeping me entertained so here is another mock draft I said I wasn’t going to post….
11. Francis Mauigoa OT Miami (FL) A
39. Chris Johnson CB San Diego State A
43. Malachi Lawrence EDGE UCF B-
75. Elijah Sarratt WR Indiana A
87. Bud Clark S TCU B
90. Jalen Farmer OG Kentucky B
94. Drew Allar QB Penn State F
130. Billy Schrauth OG Notre Dame B-
151. Matt Gulbin OC Michigan State C
227. Devon Marshall CB NC State A
238. Vincent Anthony Jr. EDGE Duke B-
2027 CLE 2nd
2027 NE 4th
The gave me an F for taking Drew Allar in the 3rd round, but he was gone by 130 every time. F that F!
I’d give you a B+ for Allar in the 3rd. You don’t try, you don’t win!
the draft is so close I can smell it on my fingers…
Does it smell like winning, or losing?
that’s not the draft you’re schmellin
that’s not the draft
that’s pork belly grease
in 3 hrs the draft “starts”, then 30 mins intro, then after 8 mins the pick is in, then commercial, then it shows 2nd pick is in, then at 8:45 first pick announced
🤣
if you guys think my fingers smell like the draft, you should smell Diana Russini’s…
Or Mike Vrabel’s, which might just smell like Diana Russini’s fingers
they are releasing more and more photos of Vrabel and Rossini while we get closer to the draft
by 8pm I expect to see the two of them sharing a gas mask
Robert Kraft isnt too upset, he just wants to know if Russini gives massages.
I almost sure the answer is yes if you can give her insider information to report
i’d give her inside something
Like a pounding
don’t we all
”And, after our first trade of the draft, with the first pick in the 2026 NFL draft the Miami Dolphins pick….”
Ty Simpson! Lol
Happy Draft Day boys
I like crabs
I like crabs…oh wait
I bet Omar knows where you can get some😜
Bucky Brooks mock draft 44.0 has us taking Delane, then Pregnon at 30
I’ll take that
I will love that bc I like both players a lot
OK boys it’s prediction time
Reply below with who you think the Dolphins are going to take it number 11
Monsoor Delane
Delane
I was just thinking that it would be freaking awesome if the Raiders don’t take Mendoza.
I feel like it’s Delane too and it’s deflating look at all the Tackles they’d be leaving on the board.
Wearing my Zach Thomas jersey tonight. Time to draft another Hall of Famer
you should probably save that jersey for the 5th round on Saturday
SMH THESE MOTHERFUCKERS COMING ON STAGE IN THEIR $3000 SUITS, BUT THEY’RE FUCKING TAILORED ALL FUCKING WONKY SHOWING 4 INCHES OF ANKLE
those are high waters, bro
I really don’t know yet. Maybe after 7 picks I’ll get a feel for who I think we’ll select.
who?
she’s kinda hot
I’m Up on Downs 😁
thanks to everyone for the many mo is and last nights pre draft draft .. I feel I may actually recognize a few names picked tonight …. As for our picks ?? No idea but hoping for a
Keep having the keyboard disappear on me mid message …. Hope we come out of tonight with an OL and either more picks for trading out of 30, or a difference maker on D ..
i’ve been having problems on my iPhone for about a month now that if I touch the screen anywhere outside the text box, I cannot go back into the text box so like if I am responding to somebody and I try to scroll back up screen to see exactly what they said I can’t get back into the box to finish my statement so I have to start all over from scratch
Truly frustrating
man Kid Rock had a better flyby at his house
you know what pisses me off every year?
the team with the number one pick probably knows who they’re going to pick they’re not still debating it
but they fucking use up all eight of their minutes
I didn’t like the pic, but at least when the Dolphins took Jake Long, they had him signed to contract before the draft
I was just thinking the same thing. The draft should start at 8pm with the submission of the first pick
not the way they do it – the team with the first pick goes on the clock at 8
The raiders have been on the clock since December
I used to use word press it self , not the actual FMU site , but I got logged out
grrrrr and can’t find my way back in
God he is such a douche bag
he enjoys them, hating him
These fucking towels
man I’m getting fucking bored here
i’m about to change the station
Enough of this shit already
enough of this shit already!
get the papers
get the papers 🙂
NFLN showed the Mendoza highlight vs PSU. Nice! lol
The picks are usually in sooner from what I heard but they have to drag it out to get the commercial time.
