DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW: Miami Dolphins MASTER PLAN: Build Around Willis, Achane & 7 Picks to TAKE OVER Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

The Miami Dolphins didn’t just hint at their future — they revealed it.

At the NFL owners meetings, GM Jon-Eric Sullivan made it clear:
this team is being built around Malik Willis, De’Von Achane, and a massive draft opportunity with 7 picks in the top 100.

But that’s not all.

The Dolphins are also bringing in outside intelligence — including insight from Troy Aikman — creating a front office approach that is informed, strategic, and completely different from the norm.

On this episode of Dolphin Squad Show, Jim “Gries” Grieshaber, Kyle Crabbs, and Jeff Zgonina break it all down:

• Why Malik Willis is the foundation of Miami’s future
• Why De’Von Achane is untouchable and central to the offense
• What Jon-Eric Sullivan revealed about the Dolphins’ draft strategy
• The “prove-it” culture emerging across the roster
• Which players are set to thrive in the new system
• How Troy Aikman’s role gives Miami unique league-wide insight
• Trade-down scenarios and how the Dolphins can control the draft
• Why 7 top-100 picks gives Miami a massive advantage
• What the rest of the NFL is telling us about how teams win

This isn’t just a rebuild — it’s a calculated, informed plan to win.

👇 Dolphins fans — do you trust the plan?

The Dolphins Have Several Scenarios To Manifest Even MORE Draft Capital At Their Disposal Apr 03, 2026

Show notes

Miami Dolphins could reshape their 2026 NFL Draft strategy with bold trade-down moves—are they gearing up for a roster overhaul? Host Kyle Crabbs explores scenarios surrounding the Dolphins’ picks at 11 and 30, weighing the importance of blue-chip prospects like Francis Mauigoa, Rueben Bain, Mansoor Delane, and Caleb Downs. The debate centers on when Miami should hold firm versus capitalizing on a deep pool of second-tier talent, with key references to recent NFL Draft trade history and how conviction in players like Dylan Thieneman could dictate their choices.

Insights include the scarcity of trade activity around pick 30 and what lessons Jon-Eric Sullivan could draw from the Seattle Seahawks’ 2019 trade sequence. Crabbs explains how the Dolphins’ focus on acquiring draft capital aligns with wide-open roster spots and why fans shouldn’t get married to a single outcome as Miami positions itself for long-term success.
