I understand why Dolphins fans are extra hesitant about players with injury histories. All I’m saying is that the Jermod McCoy (Tennessee, CB) 2024 tape is exceptional. Like, really good.

NEW: I took a look at who ESPN’s latest mock draft has the Dolphins selecting in RD1. It’s not the player I would’ve taken, but I get it. READ: www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

I’ve audibly said “Hell yeah” like 5 times in the first 20 minutes of Lee Hunter’s (Texas Tech, NT) tape. Great blend of quickness and strength on the interior.

It doesn’t hurt, but I’m hesitant to draw any big conclusions until I see what this final stretch looks. I cover this in the article, but we’ll learn about Weaver and his unit these next four weeks.

The numbers behind Miami’s defensive improvement shocked me, but it’s hard denying how well things are going. Can they keep it going? Read: www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

PSA: Join @dantecollinelli.bsky.social and myself for the All Dolphins Podcast live postgame breakdown show at 5 p.m. ET. www.youtube.com/live/VZO0uFy...

I have watched 3 Senior Bowl tight ends the past two days and none of them can block.

Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren accepted his Senior Bowl invite today, and man his film is so fun. Throwback physicality at safety — excellent as a robber and makes so many good plays vs. the run. He’s an early All-Hollywood Team contender.

Interesting quirk of this draft class is how many undersized edge players are near the top of boards. David Bailey: 6-3, 250 (calling cap) Cashius Howell: 6-2, 248 Romello Height: 6-3, 240 R Mason Thomas: 6-2, 249 Joshua Josephs: 6-3, 240

Will probably spend most of my time here dropping random NFL Draft thoughts as I work through the class. It’s obviously incredibly early, but I’m not a huge fan of the perceived top of the class players.

Had @friesfootball.bsky.social break down Max Brosmer's preseason back in August www.wideleft.football/p/is-max-bro...

NEW: The Dolphins should be getting Darren Waller back soon, but what will his role look like? Miami’s tight end room is a lot different than the last time he suited up. Read: www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

I’ll be attempting to revive this account now that I’ve started prep work for the 2026 NFL Draft. Apologies for the absence. I’ll do my best to post here a bit. Anyway, here’s my first Dolphins mock of the year: www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

I’m so excited to share my debut piece for Wide Left! I spent way too much time breaking down Jeremiah Smith and what makes him so special. Big thanks to @katson.bsky.social and @arif.bsky.social for the opportunity to get back into the writing game.

Excited to announce new contributors and a new structure to Wide Left!

NEW: After former #MiamiDolphins tackle Terron Armstead got involved on Twitter to defend Chop Robinson's run defense, @dantecollinelli.bsky.social broke down the tape to see where the 2024 first-round pick actually stands in that area. www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

NEW: Really cool look here from @dantecollinelli.bsky.social at each of the eight #MiamiDolphins 2025 draft picks and their NFL comps. www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

Going to be dumping some Ollie Gordon clips here. The contrast between his 2023 and 2024 is staggering. Think he’s a good flier for Miami, though.

Quinn Ewers film dump incoming. I gotta be honest, I dont think Miami improved at backup QB much — if at all — this offseason.

NEW: I ranked my favorite draft classes from this weekend. I really feel like so many teams did well for themselves: open.substack.com/pub/thecasua...

Dolphins newest defensive tackle ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Some late-night Jonah Savaiinea clips are incoming. He gets a nice finish here blocking down the line.

Going to post some Kenneth Grant film clips here, starting with stack and shed teach tape vs. Ohio State

NEW: I have no clue what will happen tomorrow night, but here’s a final mock draft for Round 1 with some fun fits and a few surprises: open.substack.com/pub/thecasua...

NEW: My final ranking of Miami’s realistic options at pick 15. There’s 11 players here, but there’s probably 20-ish I would be ~ fine ~ with. www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

Need to dump some clips here for a story dropping tomorrow. It’s my favorite story that I write every year, so hoping everyone will enjoy.

NEW: Former #MiamiDolphins first-round Noah Igbinoghene enjoyed the best year of his career with Washington in 2024, so he's going to give another go but with a different number. www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

🚨 New From Me My first Dolphins 7-round mock is live. Trying to fill all of the Dolphins’ needs is quite tough despite 10 picks. How did things shake out? Read: www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

🚨 New From Me Jaxson Dart is getting a lot of hype, so I dug deep into the tape to see if his play backs it up. open.substack.com/pub/thecasua...

NEW: How film study reveals why there's so much to like about the #MiamiDolphins addition of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine at wide receiver. Great work again by @dantecollinelli.bsky.social www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

Starks is the ideal pairing, imo. Get someone with his range playing alongside Melifonwu, and the Dolphins are cooking.

Ifeatu Melifonwu’s tape is awesome, but it’s an incredibly small sample size. Is he worth the risk? www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

Yeahhhhh the James Daniels tape is pretty dang good. Full breakdown on Miami’s newest guard: www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

Super small sample size, but Ifeatu Melifonwu generated 12 QB pressures and 4 sacks on 19 pass rush reps the past two seasons.

🚨 New From Me The good, bad, and ugly with the Dolphins signing Zach Wilson. www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

Won’t lie, the Larry Borom film isn’t great, but I see the vision. Scheme fit, experienced, versatile, powerful run blocker. Think I like him better at guard, but it’s a small sample size.

We're still out here grading every signing. Yes, even punters. www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-free-age...

Really like what I saw from new Dolphin James Daniels vs. Zack Allen in the running game. Both players got wins, but Daniels was moving bodies all game.

The Dolphins doing nothing all day only to sign Zach Wilson is admittedly pretty funny. I’m fine with Wilson as long as there’s another vet QB signing.

Seahawks are seriously confusing me. You want to trade DK + Geno? Sure, I guess. But then you should just blow it up. Not pay Sam Darnold.

Moehrig was probably my top target for Miami. Loved his tape + versatility. Plenty of good safety options left, but this is a bummer.
