The 2026 NFL Draft has come and gone, and the Miami Dolphins made waves with a league-high 13 selections—five percent of the entire draft class. Over three action-packed days, the Dolphins stuck to their board, but not without stirring up some debate about potential reaches and bold trades. From moving back one spot in the first round with the Dallas Cowboys to jumping up from 30th to 27th in a deal with the San Francisco 49ers, Miami kept fans on the edge of their seats. They even orchestrated a fifth-round trade with the Carolina Panthers, sliding from 151st to 158th. The result? A haul that includes a mix of offensive and defensive talent, from Alabama tackle Kadyn Proctor at 12th overall to Iowa defensive end Maz Llewellyn in the seventh round.
Here's a quick look at the full 13-player class: Kadyn Proctor (OT, Alabama), Chris Johnson (CB, San Diego State), Jacob Rodriguez (LB, Texas Tech), Caleb Douglas (WR, Texas Tech), Will Kacmarek (TE, Ohio State), Chris Bell (WR, Louisville), Trey Moore (DE, Texas), Kyle Louis (S, Pittsburgh), Michael Taaffe (S, Texas), Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR, Missouri), Seydou Traore (TE, Mississippi State), DJ Campbell (G, Texas), and Maz Llewellyn (DE, Iowa).
So, how did the fans feel about it? Our SB Nation Reacts polls tracked reactions throughout the draft, and after the final pick was in, we asked for your overall grade. After letting the poll run for several days to gather a solid response, the verdict is in: 53 percent of you gave Miami's 2026 draft a passing grade. That's a more favorable outlook than the initial social media buzz might have suggested, showing that patience—and a deep dive into the picks—pays off. Whether you're stocking up on Dolphins gear to celebrate or just following the rebuild, this draft class has given fans plenty to talk about.
