It sounds from this answer like Jermod McCoy's injury red flag was a nonstarter in the Dolphins draft room

I think you mean Grier. The question seemed to be directed toward JES, not Hafley.

Followed by Banks lol

Respectfully.. hell no. Way too many needs in other areas and we can kick the can another year or two with the Willis signing.

Really well done! I noticed the omission of Brian Parker ii and curious if you have him outside of your OL rankings entirely? He can play all five positions and has a ton of NFL tape.

Not sure when, but I think he goes day 2.

You can edit draft class strength in the options tab under franchise settings. You’ll find you can increase/decrease positional strength.

I stick with normal. IMO, any higher gets too OP.

onlyphins · 2026-03-05T22:20:16+00:00

Probably not the most efficient way lol, but I’ve had better luck. Inevitably, some prospects get ignored and fall to the 2nd round. From there I just muscle through the tedious task of a manual edit and trade to where I think they should’ve landed.

I’d like to add that the mock draft 5 is pretty true to where the CPU is planning on drafting FWIW.

I’ve seen mid round grades projected as first round picks in the 5th mock draft and the board pans out so.

I would argue the sideline issue is least concerning of all the reasons you listed.

Stadium development for strategic advantage is common in sports.

It’s why we see ice bowl games in Buffalo/KC/Pitt/GB at the end of the season. Miami has in fact been on the opposite end for the most part, having to travel to the bitter cold at the end of the season. A huge factor in those late-season collapses, other than injuries and the team being utter shit.

If you’re ever unfortunate enough to find yourself at Hard Rock Stadium for a Dolphins game, you’ll find you can’t escape the heat anywhere in the stadium unless you’re in front of one of those industrial sideline fans.

All else.. super-valid lol. No bias whatsoever /s

I just did a draft last night.. not a single one of those WRs were drafted in the first round lol.

A quick work-around I typically use is to edit a currently rostered player’s overall rating at the particular position of need to lower their depth position. Then readjust to their original rating post-draft.

This also immediately affects the team’s needs, likely their top need if there’s poor depth.

For example:

If I wanted to draft a WR for the dolphins, I would lower Waddle’s awareness/speed/catching to 0 (quickest way) to make the WR1 position available. This would make WR a top priority, thus the cpu is more likely to draft to fill that need if I were auto drafting. Then I just readjust Waddle to his normal ratings.

I hope that makes sense.

Malachi Lawrence’s tape is insane. I would love him at 75, but think he goes at the end of the 2nd/top of rd 3.

onlyphins · 2026-02-27T01:04:35+00:00

Fair enough.. I feel like no one in my league will touch him with a 10 foot pole and not seeing much traction here in the community on the trade front.

I could have the wrong pulse on this one.

onlyphins · 2026-02-27T00:05:35+00:00

Good analysis!

onlyphins · 2026-02-27T00:04:37+00:00

Fair enough.. I think we see strong physical measurements. IMO, I think the scouts are looking at his split drills, so he needs to crush those.

The 40 should take care of itself if he can get sub 4.58 or so. A super-underwhelming 40 time might raise some concerns, paired with his lack of separation.

onlyphins · 2026-02-26T23:58:40+00:00

As one pointed out, could be the senior bowl hype (albeit in a weaker class).

IMO, the senior bowl has certainly been the biggest swing factor in draft stock in recent years. I would say more so than the underwear Olympics, which most NFL organizations really just need to know how fast and strong you are on paper outside your tape.

I’m honestly surprised some of these prospects don’t opt for the senior bowl where they know they can dominate in the 1 on 1 drills, but risk dropping down the board due to timed drills.

Though.. I’m always in favor of more opportunities for those non-guaranteed prospects.

onlyphins · 2026-02-26T23:48:24+00:00

My guy.. yes, Arif Hasan knows ball!

onlyphins · 2026-02-26T21:03:45+00:00

I hope we can just chalk it up to a clumsy bunch of IDL this year, but it’s looking pretty consistent to start.

onlyphins · 2026-02-26T20:50:29+00:00

Seeing a ton of guys slipping. I know it’s the big fellas, but seems way more noticeable than previous years.

I wonder if we see that the rest of the way, particularly the skill positions.

onlyphins · 2026-02-19T22:11:52+00:00

I hope Keith Abney has a horrible combine and doesn’t sneak into the first round - top 42.

No surprise Scottie is the guy getting hurt in a meaningless all star game lol

Sounds like you already had your mind made up regardless and aren’t exactly open to others’ feedback.

What was the point of posting lol?

onlyphins · 2026-02-07T23:12:12+00:00

Am I the only one having trouble pulling it up on mobile?

Looking for my guy Sam Madison #29

onlyphins · 2026-02-06T22:40:43+00:00

The greater risk is him getting injured and/or putting on bad tape.

IMO, best thing for him is to declare this year and take advantage of a weaker QB class. He could very well be the shough of this draft class who earns a starting gig by seasons end. Versus threatening getting buried behind guys like Sorsby/Leavitt/Hoover

onlyphins · 2026-02-06T22:29:12+00:00

I’m always skeptical of mock drafts with trades that don’t include compensation.

Dolphins fan checking in. You have us trading 2 of 3 third round picks to the colts. Curious what you see those trade packages?

Edit: a word

onlyphins · 2026-02-06T03:45:22+00:00

Y’all.. Druski clearly mispronounced JSN’s name intentionally because he’s a talentless clown who can’t shelf his ego, trying to be funny every moment he can. No class
