After selecting edge rusher Trey Moore with the 130th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins had a quick turnaround before coming back on the clock with the 138th pick. They continue to retool the defense in this year\u2019s draft, adding linebacker Kyle Louis from Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
Louis was projected to a second or third round pick. Miami landing him late in the fourth round is a huge value pick. Daniel Jeremiah ranked Louis his 55th prospect, with Miami selecting him 138th. On NFL.com, Lance Zierlein compares Louis to former Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker, which would be a great addition to the Miami defense.<\/p>\n
Miami\u2019s previous selections have included tackle Kadyn Proctor and cornerback Chris Johnson in the first round; linebacker Jacob Rodriguez in the second round wide receiver; Caleb Douglas, tight end Will Kacmarek, and wide receiver Chris Bell in the third round; and edge rusher Trey Moore in the fourth round.<\/p>\n
A four-year player at Pittsburgh, Louis finished his career with 201 tackles, 10 sacks, six interceptions with a touchdown, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins are next on the clock with the 151st pick, the first of three scheduled fifth-round picks.<\/p>\n
