@MPattersonOWH Mike is the best! Even though he’s a Bears fan. 😂

#nebpreps Life update here … I’m planning to retire this summer (mid-July or so). Thanks to all of the coaches, athletic directors, players and fans I’ve crossed paths with in my 38 (!) years at The World-Herald. It’s been my honor. 😀

@PoupartNFL I wonder if the Dolphins would have taken Louis with that third round pick had they kept it.

NEW: The inside look at how Jon-Eric Sullivan got not one but two fifth-round pick from the Dallas Cowboys on draft night, with some clever maneuvering and a little gambling. si.com/nfl/dolphins/o…

@KyleCrabbs I foresee Sieler being dealt either in August or at the deadline. Is it possible he could net a third or fourth?

An encore will be tough to pull off without something drastic. 🔗⏬

@PoupartNFL Does Zach Sieler bring more value as a mentor to a young group of defensive tackles, or as a trade resource in the summer/trade deadline?

Still looking for questions for a Miami Dolphins On SI mailbag for the first weekend of May. Thanks in advance.

@PoupartNFL I think you forgot Darrell Baker at CB. He might be a keeper and could start.

NEW: Because it's never too early, here's a post-draft Miami Dolphins 53-man roster projection. si.com/nfl/dolphins/o…

@DolphinsTalk This is good work Mike and seems like very fair grades across the board. If Proctor is legit, this turns a good draft into a great one IMO.

My Miami Dolphins Pick by Pick Draft Grades dolphinstalk.com/2026/04/miami-…

@MiamiDolphins @KadynProctor1 Gets to keep 74! Very cool.

Only the start. 💯 Inside @KadynProctor1's first 24 hours as a Dolphin.

@ckparrot Good analysis Chris! You could really sense Hafley’s excitement with the Johnson pick.

My top takeaways from GM Jon-Eric Sullivan’s 1st draft: - More of a risk taker than imagined - Intel gathering is important - High conviction targets in R1-2 - Role-fillers from Day 2 on - Position agnostic - Treats offense & defense differently - Wants O-linemen BIG (1/x)

@AquaCoralRep Also see Bud Clark. He was drafted by Seahawks.

DOLPHINS DRAFT BIG BOARD, DAY THREE I won't be updating after each pick today, but please tell me if you notice any on this list who I missed (i.e. have already been drafted and shouldn't be listed) acdolphins.com/2026/04/25/dol…

@AquaCoralRep Great list Greg. Austin Barber was drafted by the Browns. Appreciate your work!

@KyleCrabbs @bert695 Can a team pick up the 5th year option on a player it traded for?

@bert695 I don't disagree. I'm leery. But it may be worth the bet based on the talent if you're getting a pick back, too. I'm skeptical but hard to dismiss Miami completely given the range of picks they're looking to get to and the need.

So...if this rumor is true, it's worth watching. 🔗⏬

@ian693 #Phinsup🐬

HOW MANY OF YOU CAN GIVE ME A #PhinsUp BACK???? LET’S GET IT TRENDING!!!!!

@AquaCoralRep Waller trade

@AquaCoralRep I’m not counting the comp pick. We have six of our original picks. We have a 5th coming from the Steelers trade. We have a seventh coming from the Walker trade. That’s 8 picks.

Dolphins need to find a way to more 2027 picks on draft night, even at a traditionally unfair exchange rate Right now they have 6 picks in a "generational" draft

@AquaCoralRep Dude, not lecturing. Just saying lot can change in a year. A year ago, 4 quarterbacks were thought to be top 10 picks. Now only one of those going in first three rounds likely. Not stirring trouble. Appreciate your draft work.

@taylorphins Dude, i can type whatever i want. Thanks for the lecture

@AquaCoralRep Should be 8. We lost a 7th in the Steelers trade, but got a 7th in the Waller deal.

@AquaCoralRep They have all their original picks, plus an extra fifth from the Steelers. Also in line for comp 7th.

@AquaCoralRep I’m not saying the Dolphins should pump the brakes in terms of preparation, I’m just saying that all of us need to relax when it comes to assuming how great a draft a year from now is going to be

@taylorphins You're right, 7. Pumping the brakes at the draft right in front of you is poor planning though. They all look at draft(s) ahead, esp this year & there won't be trading before now and the 23rd That was great swapping a '27 5th for a 7th... forgot about that

@AquaCoralRep Also, let’s pump the brakes on a draft that is a year away. So much can change.
