Some BOLD, Final Predictions For The Miami Dolphins And Their 2026 NFL Draft Weekend

In this final pre-draft episode of Locked On Dolphins, host Kyle Krabs delivers bold predictions for the Miami Dolphins' 2026 NFL Draft strategy, emphasizing a mix of strategic trades, positional needs, and late-round sleepers. He forecasts a rollercoaster first round with key players like Fernando Mendoza, David Bailey, and Jordan Tyson likely off the board by pick 11, leaving the Dolphins with strong options at 11 such as Caleb Downs and Reuben Bain. Krabs predicts the Dolphins will attempt at least one trade down—likely from pick 30—to accumulate additional 2027 draft capital, leveraging their surplus picks from the Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith trades. He also explores the possibility of trading running back Jalen Wright, given the depth at running back in this year’s class, and anticipates a 'double dip' on wide receivers and safeties within the top 100, with a potential free agent signing of AJ Epinesa if needed. For the final pick, Krabs makes a deep-dive prediction: late-round linebacker Wade Wood from Clemson, citing his special teams readiness and fit as a core contributor despite limited draft stock. The episode closes with a call to attend the official Dolphins draft watch party at Regatta Grove and promotes sponsor offers from Home Chef and Quo.
