About this episode
Miami Dolphins face a pivotal NFL Draft decision: when—and whom—to select at quarterback as the franchise eyes roster rebuilding. Is Cole Payton or Jalon Daniels the right fit for Miami’s evolving offense, or could Ty Simpson offer value at pick 43? Kyle Crabbs breaks down the 2026 quarterback class, spotlighting Fernando Mendoza’s elite stock and assessing opportunity costs across draft rounds.
Crabbs evaluates potential day-two and day-three targets like Drew Allar, Taylen Green, Garrett Nussmeier, and Carson Beck, weighing their athletic tools and scheme adaptability. The episode highlights Miami’s positional priorities, impact of the Malik Willis signing, and the strategic importance of draft pick tiers. From athleticism to passing upside, Crabbs ranks his favorite QB options for the Dolphins and warns against reaching early at the position. Will Miami’s calculated approach yield a franchise-changing signal caller or simply reinforce quarterback competition?
