The Fantasy Life website, owned by Matthew Berry, had their analyst, Matthew Freedman, release their latest mock draft, and with two picks in Round 1, they have Miami selecting.
“Mansoor Delane was a unanimous first-team All-Pro last year, and the Dolphins need to upgrade their secondary for defensive HC Jeff Hafley in his first season with the team.”
Delane is one of the top cornerbacks in a CB-rich draft. He excels in press coverage, altering release timing with punches and slides. Smooth hips and efficient footwork keep him connected in man coverage, while his processing allows for quick transitions in off-man and short zone looks. He has good top-end speed for vertical phasing but is inconsistent turning to find the football. While he locks in on the route at times, he’s rarely oblivious to the quarterback’s actions, allowing him to slam catch windows shut and play the football. He played through a core muscle injury for much of the 2025 season and still performed at an elite level. Delane’s emergence over the past two years might be indicative of what’s to come, as he’s shown lockdown potential.
“The Broncos traded away their Round 1 pick to the Dolphins for WR Jaylen Waddle. Here, the Dolphins use that pick to select their new No. 1 receiver.
KC Concepcion broke out as a true freshman as the featured playmaker at NC State (71-839-10 receiving), and then last season he was the No. 1 WR for the Aggies (61-919-9) while earning first-team All-American honors as a punt returner (25-456-2). On top of that, he steadily and effectively chipped in as a runner throughout his career (70-431-3).”
Concepcion offers immediate burst and separation into space. He’s elusive in beating press and getting into breaks with minimum damage from handsy coverage. While he has a one-speed approach, he can snap off routes with alarming suddenness, making him extremely difficult to match at leveraged break points. He’s instinctive against zone. He’s also a nightmare for man coverage on choice routes and near the goal line. He’s quicker than fast, with more value on utility throws utilizing run after catch. Concepcion’s ability to quickly uncover should be very appealing to teams with spotty protection and a young quarterback.
