‘Nostradamus-Like’: Miami Dolphins GM predicted 2026 NFL Draft first-round outcome

The Miami Dolphins are in their Jon-Eric Sullivan era after firing longtime general manager Chris Grier last season and replacing him with the former Green Bay Packers vice president of player personnel earlier this year.

Dolphins seem to foil Lions draft plans – The Splash Zone 5/20/26

The Miami Dolphins may not have been the only team interested in Kadyn Proctor as it’s come out that the Detroit Lions may have coveted the big offensive lineman.

Your Way Too Early 2027 Miami Dolphins Draft Needs

With the 2026 NFL Draft now behind us, and most of the free agents that the team could afford to add up to this point already part of the roster, I asked the following “way too early” question: Given what you know about the Miami Dolphins roster presently and given what you believe you know […]

Your Miami Dolphins Draft Pick Comparisons

Last week, I asked you the following question: Assuming Jacom Rodriguez is comparable at this point to Zach Thomas (unless you have a better/different comparison for him), what other comparisons would you make for the other players from the Miami Dolphins’ 2026 NFL Draft class? This comparison can be a former Dolphins player or any […]

What was Mike McDaniel’s plan – The Splash Zone 5/18/26

It seemed like Mike McDaniel was still going to be the Miami Dolphins head coach heading into the 2026 when he survived the first few days after the season had come to an end.
