Get ready for an exciting draft season, as the PFSN 7-Round Mock Draft has the Miami Dolphins making some intriguing picks! With eight selections, the Dolphins aim to address multiple roster needs, and we're here to break it down for you.
A Cornerback with Elite Potential
In the first round, the Dolphins select Jermod McCoy, a talented cornerback from Tennessee. McCoy, with his hyper-elite fluidity and playmaking skills, is compared to the likes of Darius Slay. However, a crucial ACL tear in his third season raises questions about his medical status. Despite this, his pro day performance could provide the closure needed to assess his health and potential.
A Big-Bodied Receiver with Upside
Round two sees the Dolphins adding Chris Bell, a 6'2", 227-pound wide receiver from Louisville. Bell's upside as a three-level threat is tantalizing, especially as a RAC (run-after-catch) weapon in space. His impressive build-up speed and ability to control the catch point make him a valuable asset. However, an ACL tear late in the 2025 season is a concern, and his draft slotting may be impacted.
A Versatile Tight End with Untapped Potential
Oscar Delp, a tight end from Georgia, is the Dolphins' pick in the third round. Delp's production may not have shone at the collegiate level, but his blocking abilities were invaluable to Georgia. With his lean, explosive frame, he brings a two-phase profile that could instantly upgrade Miami's tight end room. Delp's fluidity and speed make him a threat on intermediate routes, but he needs to improve his consistency and upper-body strength for blocking duties.
An EDGE Defender with Natural Leverage
Also in the third round, the Dolphins select Joshua Josephs, an EDGE defender from Tennessee. Josephs possesses the ideal blend of natural leverage and length, with his long arms and upright build. His production is on the rise, and for Miami, he represents a compelling Day 2 investment. However, Josephs needs to add weight and strength to better support the run against NFL blocking. His pass rush technique could also use some refinement.
A Versatile Guard with Good Balance
Beau Stephens, a guard from Iowa, is the Dolphins' next pick. Stephens is an average-sized athlete with very good balance and flexibility. He has the range to excel in wide zone schemes and the physicality to move the front in tighter alignments. In pass protection, he remains steady on his feet with active hands. However, his lack of length and average athleticism may limit his draft slotting.
A Dual-Threat Quarterback with Upside
In the fourth round, the Dolphins select Taylen Green, a long, rangy dual-threat quarterback from Arkansas. Green's ability to generate explosive plays as a runner and passer is a valuable asset. However, his in-game consistency needs improvement, and his unorthodox delivery and tendency to baby throws are areas of concern. Green's ability to win with his legs adds value, but his passing profile requires refinement.
A Left Tackle with High Ceiling and Low Floor
Jude Bowry, a left tackle prospect from Boston College, is the Dolphins' pick in the fifth round. Bowry has the physical and athletic tools to quickly improve protection, but his technique inconsistencies are a concern. He needs to work on his pad level and hand usage to become a more reliable drive blocker. Despite these challenges, Bowry has swing tackle potential and could be a worthwhile Day 3 investment.
A Powerful Defensive Tackle with Effort
Finally, in the seventh round, the Dolphins select David Gusta, a defensive tackle from Kentucky. Gusta has good power and plays with consistent effort, but his production has been underwhelming. He lacks the length to control gaps effectively and needs to refine his technique. However, his first-step quickness and violent hands create pocket pressure, giving him a chance to fight for a spot as a 1-technique.
And there you have it! The Dolphins' 7-round mock draft is filled with intriguing picks and potential impact players. But here's where it gets controversial: Do these selections address the team's most pressing needs? Will these players live up to their potential and make an immediate impact?
