2027 3-Round Mock Draft has Miami Taking

“If the Miami Dolphins end up picking in the top-two as the current odds project, there’s bound to be some scrutiny regarding Malik Willis.

At the same time, looking at the state of the Dolphins’ roster, it’s entirely possible that the team struggles overall, while Willis still shows enough promise to warrant one more year. Let’s entertain that second outcome in this 2027 NFL Mock Draft and seek out blue-chip talent elsewhere.

Miami’s EDGE room, in particular, is extremely uninspiring. Chop Robinson hasn’t developed much since entering the league, and most of the remaining rotation is comprised of journeymen, strictly depth players, and unproven late-round rookies. Dylan Stewart can change that.

In 2025, Stewart registered a near-elite PFN EDGE Impact Score of 86.8 and an impressive true dropback pressure rate of 12.4%.Stewart’s pressure metrics fell a touch from 2024 in an injury-affected 2025 season, but he still earned a solid EDGE Impact Score of 80.3, while also putting up a 3.7% TFL rate in run defense and pursuit, while allowing just 0.76 yards per run stop, per TruMedia.

As an athlete and mover, the suspicions are true: Stewart moves different. At a listed 6’5″, 245 pounds, with near-34″ arms, Stewart’s explosiveness off the line is more akin to teleportation. He’s exceedingly twitched-up and light on his feet, with elite hip fluidity, ankle flexion, and torso reduction at his size, and his combination of explosion, length, and consistent lower-body load can yield overwhelming power exertions.

Stewart’s sheer physical potential is the core of his evaluation; he has a near-unmatched blend of explosiveness, lateral agility, quickness, bend, length, and relentless motor, and there are glimpses of proper pass-rush execution with angle manipulation, stunt efficiency, upper-lower synergy, and power production.

Overall, Stewart has room to keep expanding his counter arsenal and improve his hand precision, and he has room to add a bit more mass and supplement his play strength as well. But at his maximum, he’s a blue-chip presence, and that’s a type of ability Miami doesn’t yet have at one of the most important positions.”

Round 2, Pick #34: William Echoles, DT, Ole Miss

“Needing more interior defenders to fit Jeff Hafley’s schematic preferences, William Echoles serves as a perfect value addition here with his leverage game and pass-rushing reliability at 6’3″, 315 pounds.”

Round 3, Pick #66: Bray Hubbard, S, Alabama

“At 6’2″, 217 pounds, with 7 career interceptions, Bray Hubbard brings an exciting blend of playmaking skills and run support utility to the fold for a building Miami defense.”
