Ewers Back, Johnson Shines as Dolphins Practice 14

Dolphins lock in 13-man draft haul built for depth, versatility

The Miami Dolphins wrapped up the 2026 NFL Draft with 13 rookies under GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley, emphasizing smart, tough players who should bolster the offensive line, secondary, and receiver groups. First-round picks Kadyn Proctor and Chris Johnson project to start or contribute early, while a diverse Day 3 group—Caleb Douglas, Will Kacmarek, Chris Bell, Jacob Rodriguez, Kyle Louis, Trey Moore, Michael Taaffe, Kevin Coleman Jr., Seydou Traore, DJ Campbell, and Max Llewellyn—will push for snaps and depth. Notably, the team did not draft a quarterback, signaling a focus on competition across the roster rather than immediate QB development.
