Dolphins consider options for high draft pick as 2026 season progresses

Summary

The Miami Dolphins face critical decisions regarding their first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft as they remain winless at 0-5. General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and Coach Jeff Hafley must evaluate potential quarterbacks in a draft class that is proving uncertain. Despite hopes for quarterbacks Arch Manning and Dante Moore, both have underperformed, and Oklahoma State's Drew Mestemaker is rising in projections. Depending on their assessment, Miami could select a quarterback, opt for wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, edge rusher Colin Simmons, or trade down to accumulate additional picks. The Dolphins prepare for decisions leading to the April 29 draft.
