Ten prospects who improved their draft stock at the combine - and might interest Dolphins

"From the Miami Dolphins' perspective, the past week started with new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan unveiling tidbits of his offseason plan, like that all options being on the table with how to manage quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and his guaranteed $54 million for 2026. Before the Dolphins' focus shifts to the draft in April, they have free agency starting next week."

"Miami will be acquiring veteran talent then, but with the team strapped for cash, Sullivan's primary objective in his first offseason at the helm is to build through the draft. The Dolphins have needs at virtually all positions, but they will surely be looking at edge rushers, cornerbacks, quarterbacks, pass catchers and linemen."

"Malachi Lawrence was next at 4.52 seconds. He showed athleticism at 253 pounds with his 40-inch vertical and 10-foot-10 broad jump. With 20 sacks in his college career, he did it both standing up and with his hand in the ground, which would allow coach Jeff Hafley to use Lawrence in multiple ways with his defensive fronts if he grabs him in the middle rounds."

The 2026 NFL scouting combine concluded with teams obtaining measurables from draft prospects. The Miami Dolphins, under new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan, face significant roster needs across virtually all positions including edge rushers, cornerbacks, quarterbacks, pass catchers, and linemen. With limited salary cap flexibility, Sullivan's primary offseason strategy focuses on building through the draft rather than free agency acquisitions. The Dolphins possess eight draft picks, headlined by the 11th overall selection in the first round, a second-round pick at 43, and three third-round selections. Several prospects improved their draft stock at the combine and could interest Miami.
