While the top 32 players selected become the biggest names in the Draft, there are still 225 players to be selected on Friday and Saturday. There are key names still to be called from the stage in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Who remains on the board and who could the Miami Dolphins target? I turned to SB Nation\u2019s Mark Schofield to get a look at some of the best players remaining. Below you will find his top 50 remaining players. The list includes his overall ranking for each player.

In the third round, the Dolphins hold the 75th, 87th, and 94th overall picks. The team entered the draft with a roster full of question marks and holes that need to be filled. After selecting offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor and cornerback Chris Johnson in the first round, they began addressing those needs, but they are not done finding players who can rebuild a depleted roster for this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Tennesse cornerback Jermod McCoy is clearly the best player on the board, and the Dolphins could afford to double up on the cornerback position, but concerns about his recovery from an ACL tear that cost him the entire 2025 season could continue to scare teams away from him. His Tennessee teammate, cornerback Colton Hood, could also be on Miami\u2019s radar if they are looking for a second cornerback to pair with Johnson. Hood ranks 29th on Schofield\u2019s big board and was expected to be a first-round pick on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The two could be the start of a run on defensive secondary players. Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell is still available while at safety, Toledo\u2019s Emmanuel McNeil-Warren might be a great pick for Miami and could give new head coach Jeff Hafley the toys he wants for the back end of his defense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">An intriguing option could be Texas A&amp;M edge rusher Cashius Howell, who had exceptional production in college, but his measurables &#8211; especially his arm length &#8211; was less than a prototypical edge rusher. Does his film override the combine numbers? Will the NFL eat him up due to the physical limitations?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">While there is a lot of focus on the defense for the Dolphins, the front office could turn to the offense for several picks on the Draft\u2019s second day. Washington\u2019s Denzel Boston and Alabama\u2019s Germie Bernard still being on the board could force Miami to select a wide receiver as they look for replacements for Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Both players could be in consideration for the Dolphins\u2019 second-round pick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A little further down the board, Ohio State\u2019s Max Klare could give Miami a pass-catching tight end in the third round. He is not a true in-line tight end, but he could be a mismatch as the team moves him around the offense and would give quarterback Malik Willis a solid receiving option.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Who else could Miami consider? Who do you want to see them select on Day 2?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is over, with the top 32 college prospects now rookies&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,22886,125,124],"class_list":["post-244356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-dolphins-draft","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
