Inside the Dolphins’ Draft Plan: Best Player Available or Biggest Need?


O.J. McDuffie, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva, and The Legendary Sevach take over Fish Tank LIVE in Seth Levit's absence (Will Seth get Wally Pipped?) — and deliver a deep dive into where the Miami Dolphins stand heading into the 2026 NFL Draft.
From General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan’s pre-draft comments to the team’s evolving philosophy, the crew breaks down what this new regime is prioritizing — and how it differs from years past.
There’s plenty to unpack: a commitment to best player available, the importance of building through the draft, and why this year’s picks could define the future of the franchise.
Topics include:
- Jon-Eric Sullivan’s draft approach and messaging
- Why the Dolphins may be more likely to trade down than up
- Best player available vs. drafting for need
- Key roster gaps heading into the draft
- The pressure — and opportunity — surrounding the No. 11 pick
- How this new leadership group is reshaping team-building philosophy
