It\u2019s hard to take anything off the table for a team that is building from scratch. But these moves, even for the 2026 Miami Dolphins, feel next to impossible in the 2026 NFL Draft. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s not a lot that the Miami Dolphins<\/a> could do this weekend that would shock me. The roster is such an open-ended proposition, that just about everything<\/a> should be considered on the table in the 2026 NFL Draft<\/a>. <\/p>\n With so much work to be done, Miami\u2019s leadership group could justify just about any series of moves or decisions and I wouldn\u2019t call it \u2018shocking\u2019. Just about\u2026but not anything. Here are three possible moves that would absolutely shock me on Thursday night.<\/p>\n Three moves from the Miami Dolphins that would SHOCK us the most in the 2026 NFL Draft<\/p>\n Trading running back De\u2019Von Achane for a premium (1st round pick)<\/p>\n First and foremost, I\u2019d be amazed if the Dolphins were to get such an offer for Achane\u2019s services. Maybe you wouldn\u2019t be \u2018stunned\u2019. But I would be to see Miami ship out their star running back. Jon-Eric Sullivan said last week that Achane \u201cis not available for trade\u201d and Achane has since arrived to the team facility for voluntary workouts amid a contract dispute. I\u2019m not a math guy, but 1+1 usually seems to equal 2. It feels like the Dolphins are on the verge of a breakthrough with a potential contract extension. <\/p>\n Seeing them dramatically swing the other way and trade Achane, especially after moving WR Jaylen Waddle this offseason, would be shocking to me at this stage.<\/p>\n Trading up from the 11th overall pick<\/p>\n \u201cI think we need all 11 picks, but you never say never.\u201d \u2013 Jon-Eric Sullivan on April 15th<\/p>\n First of all, Sullivan is right. The Miami Dolphins do need every pick they can get right now to help bulk up the roster. But amid a hypothetical rat race to move up the board into the top-10 overall picks? I have a hard time seeing Miami winning any bidding wars despite their surplus of picks. Teams like the Los Angeles Rams, who are firmly in a win-now window, loom at 13th overall. They\u2019re reported to be exploring aggressive moves. <\/p>\n The New York Jets sit at 16th overall and have not only a bigger draft chest than Miami, they have future picks, too. So if a top-10 pick goes up for sale, the only thing the Miami Dolphins will have going for them is that they\u2019re the highest up the board. Not sure I see it. <\/p>\n Drafting QB Ty Simpson <\/p>\n The Miami Dolphins did host Simpson on a 30 visit this spring, so they\u2019ve shown at least some level of interest here. But if they end up calling his name with the 30th overall pick, consider me stunned. I would be floored. <\/p>\n I don\u2019t believe it happens based on the team\u2019s messaging around QB Malik Willis. The Dolphins sound like a \u201cdraft a quarterback in the mid-rounds and see what happens this year\u201d kind of team to me. <\/p>\n \t\t\t Miami Dolphins News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s hard to take anything off the table for a team that is building from scratch.
