Dolphins' Draft Pick: Francis Mauigoa at 11

0:00It's April 2nd. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, your gridiron update. I'm Cory with the story. The 2026 NFL Draft first round drops in three weeks on Thursday, April 23rd, and the Miami Dolphins sit pretty with two picks, starting at number 11. Experts are buzzing that Frances Maligua, the standout offensive lineman from the University of Miami, could be their guy right there at 11. Things like the Chiefs at 9 have been all over him in meetings, but word is the Dolphins spot feels perfect, especially with their new GM pushing too. Build from the inside out. This 20-year-old beast dominated at right tackle for the Hurricanes last season and could slide inside to guard, locking down the line while. Austin Jackson stays healthy. He is super popular though, so no guarantees he lasts that far, but if he does, expect Miami to snatch him up quick and start him week one.
