Locked On Dolphins - Daily Podcast On The Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins face a pivotal offseason as the 2026 NFL Draft safety class offers an abundance of elite options.

The discussion spotlights potential third-round gems such as V.J. Payne, Kyle Louis, and AJ Haulcy, and highlights strategic draft approaches. With Miami loaded with premium draft picks, the decisions made now could define their defensive future for years to come. Are the Dolphins set for a secondary transformation?

The Miami Hurricanes Pro Day just gave us a real look at what the Miami Dolphins might do next — and the plan is starting to come into focus.

With 7 picks in the top 100, GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley are clearly building through the draft, and what we saw at Pro Day could directly impact Miami’s next moves.

On this episode of Dolphin Squad Show, Jim “Gries” Grieshaber is joined by Kyle Crabbs and former Dolphins DT Jeff Zgonina to break down:

• The biggest takeaways from Hurricanes Pro Day and what it means for Miami

• How the Dolphins’ draft capital (7 top-100 picks) gives them full control

• Why the Jaylen Waddle trade revealed the team’s true direction

• The De’Von Achane conversation — and what his future says about the plan

• Player movement across the roster — who’s in, who’s out, and what it means

• The buzz around Malik Willis and what coaches and teammates are saying

• How this new regime is reshaping the Dolphins from the ground up

• A look at Dolphins culture and legacy, including the Mike Westhoff recognition

This isn’t just an offseason — this is a shift in philosophy.
