Miami Dolphins Target Quarterback in 2027 NFL Mock Draft

The 2027 NFL Draft is taking an unexpected turn, but the Miami Dolphins are positioned to make a bold move according to ESPN's latest mock draft.

As the Dolphins continue their 2026 season with 12 games remaining, interest in potential draft picks is growing. ESPN's Field Yates predicts that Miami will select Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker with the second overall pick. The Dolphins' investment in Malik Willis, whose contract has no guaranteed money beyond 2027, opens the door for a new quarterback.

Mestemaker, a 20-year-old dual-threat player, is noted for his physical attributes and creativity on the field. Despite not starting a game in high school, he is considered a top prospect. The Dolphins have struggled to develop quarterbacks since Dan Marino, making this pick a significant gamble. Mestemaker could potentially coexist with Willis, allowing him time to develop while competing for the starting position.
