The Phinsider
The 2025 NFL season is down to the final week of games. While the focus is on the playoff pictures for the AFC and the NFC, when it comes to teams like the Miami Dolphins, the chances to make it to the postseason are gone. That leaves them to focus on the 2026 NFL Draft and when they will be making their first selection in the three-day selection process.
The draft will be held April 23-25, 2026 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The first round will take place on Thursday night, with the second and third rounds held on Friday.
