Adam Schefter predicts Miami Dolphins will receive first pick in 2027 NFL Draft
Summary

NFL insider Adam Schefter has identified the Miami Dolphins as the favorites to hold the first overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. The prediction arrives as the team prepares to open its regular season schedule with a game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The franchise enters the year under head coach Jeff Hafley following significant roster changes and faces what is considered the second most difficult schedule in the league. Malik Willis is set to start at quarterback for Miami, with De’Von Achane expected to lead the team's rushing efforts. Despite the pessimistic outlook regarding the team's draft position, some analysts expect the roster to remain competitive throughout the 2026 season.
