# Jaime Eisner: A seven-round Miami Dolphins mock draft for 2026, projecting Kenyon Sadiq at No. 11 and Keldric Faulk at No. 30, with Emmanuel Pregnon becoming an instant starter and Ted Hurst developing into a No. 2 receiver. **Claimed:** Apr 1, 2026 **Pundit:** Jaime Eisner — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jaime-eisner **Outlet:** The Draft Network — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/the-draft-network **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.thedraftnetwork.com/2026/04/01/dolphins-7-round-nfl-mock-draft-april-2026 14 checkable claims — 11 mock draft picks, 2 depth chart calls and 1 roster spot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 12 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 11 of 14 have settled so far, averaging 27.5 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I wouldn’t bet against him being an instant and long-term starter for Miami. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
