After the Miami Dolphins moved around the first round and made two picks on Day 1, their first pick on Day 2 came at their own selection at No. 43 overall, as they took linebacker Jacob Rodriguez.
The Dolphins may have both starters at linebacker from their 2025 campaign returning for the 2026 season, but with Jordyn Brooks and Tyrel Dodson entering the last year of their deals, Miami needed to prepare for the possibility that they leave.
Immediately after the pick, Dolphins fans shared their reaction on social media, and they seemed pretty happy about the move. Let's take a look at what some of them had to say.
I love this pick. He is a beast! A turnover machine. Him and Brooks is one hell of a tandem
YES ORGANIZATION. That’s a real pick. I’m back in just like that
Thats a banger pick. Nasty player and a sick stache to go with it.
Zach Thomas 2.0?! 🐬🏈🤔 #Dolphins #PhinsUp #NFLDraft
All the idiot fans who left the team last night are not allowed to come back. The fan base is full. You can stay on that side. Incredible pick, Sully!!!
