PFSN 7-Round Mock Draft has the Dolphins taking….

NFL.com Draft Profile

Overview

McCoy is a toolsy outside corner with CB1 flashes, but an ACL tear robbed him of a much-needed third season. Hips and feet are smooth, allowing for quality lateral transitions and efficient gathers to match hard-breaking curls. He’s athletic in his recoveries but average acceleration leaves him chasing too often on go routes. More focused, physical press disruption should make the rep easier to control. He’s opportunistic with strong ball skills at the catch point. His route squeeze and zone awareness should improve with more reps. We should expect McCoy’s athletic traits and instincts to help him make up for lost time once he gets into camp.

Strengths

• Former triple- and long-jumper with explosive lowers.
• Posted 16 passes defensed, including six interceptions, from 2023 to 2024.
• Patient in the early phases, allowing receivers to declare before opening.
• Quick, confident feet can match release and recover when beaten.
• Oily hips create fluid movement and change of direction in space.
• Has the size to become more imposing underneath.
• Shows ability to gather and redirect when matching comebacks.
• Doesn’t guard grass and will look to overlap in zone coverages.
• Engulfs wideouts at catch point for fast finishes or pass breakups.

Weaknesses

• Struggles to stay in phase against speedy route benders.
• Loses poise and will grab when the rep becomes challenging.
• Needs better physicality to suffocate work space on verticals.
• Displays some indecision on zone switch-offs.
• More drag-down tackler than full-body hitter.
• Missed 2025 season with ACL tear.

Round 2, Pick #43: Chris Bell, WR, Louisville

“As long as Chris Bell is on track to a full recovery after tearing his ACL in the fall, the 6’2″, 227-pound WR has tantalizing upside as a three-level threat. He specializes primarily as a searing RAC weapon in space, but also has traits that lend to catch-point control.”

NFL.com Draft Profile 

Overview

Possession receiver coming off of his most productive year and a late-season ACL tear. Bell’s scores frequently came as a move target across the hashes, where he was able to use impressive build-up speed to eliminate angles and outrun everyone in the secondary to the paint. He’s average at eluding press and separating from tight man underneath. Improving his catch focus and positioning when contested will be critical. Bell lacks dynamic qualities and his ACL tear could impact his draft slotting, but he’s a big, physical target with room to improve. He has a chance to become an average WR2/3 in time.

Strengths

• Big, boundary target with an NFL frame.
• Stair-stepped production in each season he played.
• Battles back against handsy coverage at the top of the route.
• Speed-builder capable of turning crossers into long gains.
• Squares his numbers to quarterback on in-breaking routes.
• Makes athletic adjustments to throws on his back hip.
• Resilient post-catch and difficult to bring down on the move.

Weaknesses

• Suffered an ACL tear late in 2025 season.
• Struggles to beat press cleanly with his footwork.
• Route running lacks salesmanship and disguise.
• Lacks short-area quickness in and out of breaks.
• Will slow his feet when turning to locate the throw.
• Below-average ball skills and catch focus when contested.

Round 3, Pick #75: Oscar Delp, TE, Georgia

“Oscar Delp’s production never caught on at the collegiate level, but he was often so valuable as a blocker that Georgia couldn’t take him out of that role. At 6’5″, 245 pounds, he’s lean, uber-explosive, and tough-as-nails, with the two-phase profile to upgrade Miami’s TE room overnight.”

NFL.com Draft Profile

Overview

Delp is a fluid athlete with the forward lean, short-area quickness and pure speed to beat linebackers on intermediate routes. His soft hands and smooth catch skills show up on the move, though his short arms and inconsistent finish through contact limit his reliability. He has enough toughness and technique to help in the run game as he improves his strength. Delp projects as a Day 3 prospect with three-down potential and untapped upside as a pass catcher.

Strengths

• Good forward lean and early acceleration into his routes.
• Short-area quickness with the ability to uncover on outs, stop routes and crossers.
• Pure speed to beat linebackers matched on him in man coverage.
• Catches with soft hands and adequate extension to meet the throw.
• Uses choppy settle steps and good hand strikes into base blocks.
• Creates leverage with proper bend and lift technique.

Weaknesses

• Short arms lead to challenges rescuing off-frame throws.
• Inconsistent finishing catches through heavy contact.
• Average elusiveness to add yards after the catch.
• Needs to get stronger in his upper body for blocking duties.
• Caught leaning too far forward when getting into blocks.

Round 3, Pick #87: Joshua Josephs, EDGE, Tennessee

“Joshua Josephs has all of the desired traits, to a certain degree. He flashes apex-running explosion and bend, and at 6’3″, 242 pounds, with over 34″ arms, he has the ideal blend of natural leverage and length. His production is still rising to match those tools, but for Miami, he’s a compelling Day 2 investment.”

NFL.com Draft Profile

Overview

Long, upright edge defender with an NBA-caliber wingspan and room to continue filling out his frame. Josephs uses his arms to stay separated from blocks and spill runs wide. However, he needs to get bigger and stronger to better support the run against NFL blocking. He has long strides and plus closing burst to chase and capture. His pass rush is the same on every snap, showing good burst and effort but a predictable track that is slowed by force. He’s not a natural bender, so adding go-to moves, a functional inside counter and better rush plans will be essential. With added weight and continued schooling, Josephs could deliver much more consistent production than he’s provided so far.

Strengths

• Carries an NBA small forward wingspan.
• Effective use of length to stay separated from blockers at the point.
• Widens the edge effectively and spills runs to the perimeter.
• Spins a wide tackle web to ensnare runners anywhere near his gap.
• Races out of stance and upfield into his rush.
• Inside jab step baits tackles into pausing their slide and opening the edge.
• Long arms and strides create inside-move pressure opportunities.
• Rushes with effort and targets the throwing arm to generate strip sacks.

Weaknesses

• Tight hips force him into a more limited, linear rush attack.
• Unable to sink and trim the edge tightly at the top of the rush.
• Can’t generate enough leverage or power for speed-to-power conversion.
• Drops his eyes when attacking blocks and loses track of play design.
• Needs better upper-body strength to press and control the edge.
• Hands and feet lack harmonious coordination.

Round 3, Pick #90: Beau Stephens, G, Iowa

“Beau Stephens is of average size, but he’s a quality athlete with very good balance and flexibility. He has the range to play wide zone and the physicality to move the front in tighter alignments, and in pass protection, he’s steady on his feet with active hands.”

NFL.com Draft Profile

Overview

Stephens plays with a strong grasp for angles, tempo and timing for his block fits. He’s able to sustain and finish at a good rate despite having average play strength. However, his comfort level and consistency drop somewhat when working beyond inside/outside zone. He’s well-postured and plays with balance in pass pro. His lack of length will become more noticeable once he hits the pros, though. Short arms, average athleticism and scheme-friendly surroundings could temper his draft slotting, but Stephens has a chance to eventually become a starter if he finds the right team fit.

Strengths

• Doesn’t rush block fits, waiting until he’s balanced and in position.
• Very good feel for angles and tempo in getting to his landmarks.
• Makes timely block adjustments against shifting fronts.
• Stays connected with his hands all the way through block finish.
• Pass-sets with good posture.
• Punches instead of catching when throwing his hands into rushers.
• Displays sufficient anchor to withstand a bull rush.

Weaknesses

• Has short arms and average athletic ability.
• Needs to prove he can succeed in schemes other than zone.
• Below-average connection accuracy when asked to pull.
• Two-hand punch can be cleared by well-timed swipes for quick losses.
• Rarely latches in tight to prevent secondary rush.

Round 4, Pick #111: Taylen Green, QB, Arkansas

NFL.com Draft Profile

Overview

A long, rangy, dual-threat quarterback with upside, Green’s ability to generate explosive plays as a runner and passer helped keep his offense afloat. In-game consistency has been a sticking point, though. He has a long, unorthodox delivery and tends to baby too many throws. He can generate enough velocity and distance to stress defenses over the second and third levels. Green puts the ball in harm’s way at an alarming rate, which will translate to greater trouble against more talented defenders and more complicated coverage reads. His ability to win with his legs on called runs or pocket breaks pushes his value beyond his passing profile. Green’s upside will be tantalizing but his ceiling will only track with his growth as a passer.

Strengths

• Rare size/athleticism for the position.
• Provides dual-theat attack options and can work off script.
• Tall with an elevated release point for layered throws between the numbers.
• Does an admirable job of tying feet to eyes through progressions.
• Gets through progressions smoothly when he finds his rhythm.
• Throws with adequate velocity for tight-window throws.
• Can outstride pursuit and turn scrambles into first downs.
• Ability as a runner gives his offense a chance when passing is off.

Weaknesses

• Disappointing passing results when he breaks the pocket.
• Processing and timing need improvements on the next level.
• Struggles with post-snap recognition of zone lurkers underneath.
• Needs to more consistently quiet his feet to improve accuracy.
• Needs to get better at manipulating and holding coverage with his eyes.
• Throws with a long-limbed delivery that slows his operation and release.
• Aims throws that turn into misfires or underthrown interceptions.
• Too willing to move backwards instead of climbing when under pressure.

Round 5, Pick #149: Jude Browry, OT, Boston College

NFL.com Draft Profile

Overview

Toolsy left tackle prospect carrying both a higher ceiling and lower floor. Bowry is typically in the right place at the right time in protection. He has the feet to match edge speed but needs to improve hand usage and punch timing to firm up his outside edge/protect against bull rushers. He’s hit-or-miss as a drive blocker but the hits carry force and movement. The technique inconsistencies are a concern, but Bowry has swing tackle potential and should be worth a Day 3 investment.

Strengths

• Has physical and athletic tools to quickly improve protection.
• Pounces out of stance and gains ground quickly on pass slides.
• Maintains proper base width throughout his reps.
• Stays square and rarely opens outside hip prematurely.
• Adequate lateral quickness for cutoffs on first and second level.
• Rattles opponent’s pads on first contact in run game.
• Able to consistently displace his down-block targets.

Weaknesses

• Needs to come off the ball and into blocks with better pad level.
• Doesn’t bring feet with him and slides off sustain blocks.
• Inconsistent to improve positioning after fitting run block.
• Pass punch can be looping and late with subpar hand placement.
• Open frame gets him pushed into the pocket by speed-to-power moves.
• Lacks firm outside hand to widen edge speed around the arc.

Round 7, Pick #228: David Gusta, DT, Kentucky

NFL.com Draft Profile

Overview

Gusta has adequate size and good power but he’s not a true gap-control nose tackle and lacks production from a stem-heavy front. He’s an active, effort-based defender who is capable of fighting for his space against single blocks, but his take-on against double teams is average. First-step quickness and violent hands can create pocket pressure despite a low career sack total, though. Gusta has a chance to fight for a spot as a 1-technique.

Strengths

• Girthy through hips, thighs and calves.
• Displays power to punch and steer blocks aside.
• Plays with consistent force and effort on each snap.
• Fights to beat cut-offs and maintain gap integrity against wide zone.
• Plays with the same force and effort when fatigued.
• Violent clubs, slaps and rips are part of his rush package.

Weaknesses

• Career production underwhelmed.
• Lacks length to keep big bodies from crowding into his frame.
• Puts up a fight, but lacks true gap-control technique.
• Base narrows as a move rusher, leading to balance losses.
• Short levers make it harder to flip the edge and find the pocket.
