Cornerback

2 of 5
COLLEGE FOOTBALL: AUG 30 LSU at Clemson
LSU CB Mansoor Delane

The Dolphins had a real need at cornerback before they traded away Jalen Ramsey. Minkah Fitzpatrick is a great safety, but Miami will need to bolster the cornerback room if it wants to be competitive in the AFC East.

Mansoor Delane, LSU (No. 3)

Jermod McCoy, Tennessee (No. 7)

Avieon Terrell, Clemson (No. 20)

Wide Receiver

3 of 5
Texas Tech v Arizona State
Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson

The duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle has been a staple of the Dolphins offense, but it could be coming to an end in 2026.

Hill is set to carry a $51.9 million cap hit, and trading or cutting him would create $23.7 million in cap savings.

Carnell Tate, Ohio State (No. 8)

Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State (No. 11)

Kevin Concepcion, Texas A&M (No. 17)

Offensive Tackle

4 of 5
Utah BYU Football
Utah OT Spencer Fano

Right tackle Austin Jackson has only one year left on his contract. Between injuries and inconsistent play, the Dolphins would be wise to find another tackle who can partner with Patrick Paul and cover the position long-term.

Spencer Fano, Utah (No. 14)

Kadyn Proctor, Alabama (No. 23)

Caleb Lomu, Utah (No. 50)

Tight End

5 of 5
COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NOV 29 Oregon at Washington
Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq

Jonnu Smith was a huge part of the offense in 2024, but the Dolphins traded him away and brought Darren Waller out of retirement.

There needs to be a long-term plan in place at the position, and the offense could use a versatile weapon anyway.

Kenyon Sadiq, Oregon (No. 15)

Jack Endries, Texas (No. 44)

Max Klare, Ohio State (No. 55)
