Besides Tyreek telling them not to bang on his window like that, what did he do to deserve the aggressive nature from that cop with tattoos? And Jonnu Smith is on the phone, not being disrespectful and willing to comply with the one officer who told him to leave but then another officer comes in purely aggressive. Calais Campbell is backing up and being compliant but is also met with aggressiveness. This shouldn’t have escalated to this. Tyreek even says he had knee surgery (could be a scope) this off-season and they make cracks about ear surgery cause they didn’t think he was listening. This thing just screams power trip from the officers on scene. #GoFins

Sam Bennett was a man possessed on this sequence, my lord. #StanleyCup

I like this a lot. Full circle moment - passed over for DC, left, perfected his craft and now interviewing for a HC spot. His defense in Jacksonville is fantastic. And in case you forgot - he has the type of personality that would make you run through a wall for him. #PhinsUp

Malik Willis was traded by the Titans to the Packers for a 7th round pick. Matt LaFleur’s staff worked with him and began to properly develop him, now he’s arguably the most desired free agent on the QB market this year. I wonder what would happen if Will Levis was traded/released by the Titans and joined a team with a great staff that can develop QBs. The traits have been evident since Penn State and Kentucky. Malik Willis was further evidence of just how much situation/environment matters and I think Will Levis is another example of that.

I LOVE THIS! FINALLY! MIAMI GOT A STUD! Chris Bell is my WR8 and would have been higher if not for the ACL injury. Most projected him to run a 4.3 to a low 4.4 at the combine. 6’1 ⅞, 222 lbs., Chrisl Bell will over flexibility as an X, Z and flanker option for an offense. Bell can stretch a defense vertically on any given play, he’s good in space whether it’s his understanding of angles or using his pure raw talent to make a defender miss, has a nice wide catch radius, tracks the ball well, has good balance to play through contact and he loves the physical aspect of the game. This is a potential 1st round talent if he stays healthy. #PhinsUp

Pelissero says Willis will get $20-$30 Million on the open market and not to photoshop him in a Dolphins jersey just yet. Rapoport says it may be too hard for Willis to land in Miami because of his price tag. I really think people have underestimated his value. As I’ve said on Phinside The NFL - if Fields got $20 Million/year from the Jets what do you think Willis will get considering he isn’t considered a bust, still has ceiling left to hit and a ton of intrigue regarding his development?

Kadyn Proctor was my 22nd ranked player. BUT the ceiling is ridiculous. Monster in the run game, has that mean streak you love to see, moves so well for his size at 6’6, 350+ lbs., has a fantastic frame with length to match. The big issues are his playing weight and diet, needs a bit of technical refinement as a pass blocker and he was strictly a LT at Alabama, so what’s the vision for where he lines up? #PhinsUp

One of my man crushes of this draft and someone I’ve said is the perfect scheme fit for the off-man/match coverage Halfey runs. Chris Johnson is a high level IQ player with great route recognition, smooth feet, fluid hips, no issues staying in phase with a WR, 4.4 40 speed, legit boundary option with some slot reps, thrives in zone/off man/match coverage. Just a stud. I LOVE THIS PICK! #PhinsUp

Kenneth Grant was my DT1 and next to Will Johnson (if healthy), was my favorite option at #13. ✅ Elite (Alien) Athlete for his 6’3 5/8, 331 lbs. frame ✅ High level power - can collapse a pocket with a bull rush or put a OG on their ass with one arm ✅Top tier run defender who can eat up doubles, one gap or two gap, can shed and stack blockers, etc. ✅ High upside as a pass rusher, pass rush move arsenal needs expand but you see him use his length, strength and athleticism to win ✅ Damn near immovable anchor ✅ Versatile across the front and not simply a NT or a two down player ✅ High motor ❓Can he take on a bigger workload? 2024 was his first season with 500+ snaps ❓Can have leverage issues due to pad level being too high which can also give him problems with his balance ❓Hands and fundamentals do need a bit of coaching up due to a simple lack of reps #PhinsUp

Back in September, I tweeted out asking if Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson was the most slept on QB in this draft class and with a thinned out crop, he's probably going to be a Top 5 QB in this draft class for me when my big board drops. 6’4, 225 lbs., an arm that oozes talent displaying good touch on deep balls and with the ability to layer the ball over second level defenders. He can drive the ball real well with great velocity, make throws off platform and really, can threaten all three levels. I think he doesn’t get enough credit for his pocket presence and overall feel for it plus he’s mobile enough to create out of structure. Robertson does need to be more consistent with his accuracy and I think that starts with him needing to be coached up mechanically because you see the baseball background impact his lower and upper body mechanics at times on tape. But if you’re talking about taking a Day 3 flier on a QB who you can develop and isn’t expected to start immediately, Robertson fits the bill as one of a few intriguing options in this draft. #PhinsUp

If the Miami Dolphins don't land Mauigoa, Fano or Ioane with the #11 pick, I will be one of the ones in this fanbase pounding the table for Keylan Rutledge at #30 (if he's still on the board) if upgrading the offensive trenches on Day 1 is one of the new regime's goals. He not only made my annual Draft Man Crush List but he was one of the funnest watches this whole draft cycle for me. Absolute bulldozer in the run game and a really good pass protector, Rutledge is 6’3 ¾, 316 lbs., with a bulky, wide frame that has good length to it (33 ¼ arms and 80’ wingspan), plays with a lot of power and physicality with that nasty, take your head off to feed my family type of demeanor you love to see. Plus, as seen by the combine testing that backed up his film, he’s a very smooth, fluid mover for his size. #PhinsUp

This was my favorite answer from the Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley presser. "We have certain principles and pillars within how we approach the draft that I won't get into because I don't want to give away the secrets to the sauce" Then he gets into the "principles" of free agency that he doesn't want to get into because that would be "helping out our competition". Why am I so elated by all of this? Well, for years I've praised and said I wanted a GM like Ozzie Newsome was for Baltimore. I was really high on Chad Alexander being added to the GM search like I was with Jon-Eric Sullivan, whether Harbaugh came to Miami or not, because of their backgrounds and who Sullivan and Alexander came up under for 20+ years. When you look at the teams who have been consistent playoff contenders and have found constant regular season success, you think of the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers, etc. These teams have organizational blueprints for roster construction through draft and free agency that have been in place for decades that GMs, coaches, etc. down the line can build with and become ingrained in their makeup. That's why you can look towards those teams and say that franchise has an identity while for decades, the Miami Dolphins have not had one that works. Under McDaniel, their identity became fast, finesse and soft, which to no one's surprise wasn't sustainable and didn't work. The teams with these organizational blueprints in place do have their differences (GB and the way they develop QBs, Baltimore has always been able to run the ball no matter who they draft, etc.) but all are similar in the sense that they're built to be tough, physical and to control the LOS first and foremost above everything else. I really hope Jon-Eric Sullivan can put an organizational blueprint for roster construction in place for the Miami Dolphins that can be used long after he's gone (and successful) like Ozzie Newsome did in Baltimore to which the Miami Dolphins can finally have an identity they can be proud of and sustain moving forward. #PhinsUp

The All-22 of Tua’s 35 yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill is even more beautiful than the broadcast. Tua uses his body, hips, head and eyes to manipulate Derwin James further off his spot after he already crept up off Smythe’s motion as the linebackers shifted. Tyreek absolutely cooks JC Jackson, who is in press, off his release with his lightning feet, a quick jab step inside and then explodes outside creating good separation with Jackson now trailing. Tua drops a dime and the Dolphins took a 27-24 lead at the time. #finsup

Taylen Green is someone I’ve talked about all season on Phinside The NFL as an option for the Miami Dolphins outside of day one of the 2026 NFL Draft if they want to bet on traits and development. Now with Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley in the building, who both come from a storied franchise of drafting QBs with traits that need proper development and grooming, you have to wonder if they’d be more willing to take a shot on someone like Taylen Green than others. Green is as a fun as he is downright frustrating at times to watch. The traits are undeniable - excellent athlete, prototypical size, absolute cannon for an arm and is downright dangerous when he creates with his legs. Where he needs a ton of work is from the pocket. He needs to become a quicker processor, the accuracy and placement needs to become much more consistent, his decision making does need improvement too, basically consistency will be a big thing for a staff to get out of Green at the next level. That said, he easily has one of the highest ceilings in this QB class and I expect him to rise up boards after his combine showing. #PhinsUp

Jonah Savaiinaea, like Kenneth Grant, was one of my top man crushes of this draft class. He was my OG2 when I dropped my big board a few weeks back. ✅ Offers you both guard and tackle flexibility if you are in a pinch ash he played RG, LT and RT at Arizona ✅ Has the combination of everything you’re looking for especially if you’re the Miami Dolphins; he’s strong as an ox, moves very well for a man his size and isn’t a liability pulling, reach blocking, in open space while he isn’t a stiff or slow mover to the second level plus he has that nasty side you want to see from you trench players especially on the interior ✅ Savaiinaea has good length to his frame at 6’4, 324 lbs., 10’ 1/4 hands and almost 34’ inch arms ✅ Plays with good pad level, technique and mixed in with his previously mentioned length, he’s hard to win leverage wars against ✅ Not only can Jonah Savaiinaea deliver a ton of power at the point of attack or with his devastating punch, he can take on power really well with his anchor ✅ Really good pass blocker and run blocker, he passes off blocks well, makes his pre snap and post snap IDs across the line for movement indicating blitzes, loopers coming his way, stunts, etc. and he’s always looking to make a block, he’s relentless ❓Can he handle twitchy/explosive rushers a bit better at the next level? ❓ Lateral movement is just okay ❓ Hand placement can get erratic causing him to lose his block and he’s not overly explosive in short areas #PhinsUp
