An unbylined 2027 NFL Draft column names the Dolphins as likely top-10 pickers, and pairs several college prospects with NFL teams at specific draft windows — Ahmad Hardy to Pittsburgh in the second round, Darian Mensah as a Jets first-rounder, Jordan Seaton to San Francisco in the first round, Bo Mascoe as an early-round prospect, and Ryan Coleman-Williams to New England in the author's mock.
“The young players need time to develop, and the Dolphins look likely to be picking in the top 10 next April.”
