Miami jumps three spots in NFL Draft first round. Video

What happened: The Miami Dolphins traded picks No. 30 and No. 90 to the San Francisco 49ers for the No. 27 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. The deal was reported by Adam Schefter during the first round. Dolphins move up from their original slot.

Why it matters: Dolphins aim to grab premium talent at a position of need after finishing 6-11 last season, boosting their rebuild. 49ers gain draft capital for depth, trading down minimally while staying in late first round. Trade highlights aggressive draft strategies amid strong EDGE and CB prospects.

By the numbers: Draft picks exchanged: MIA receives SF #27; SF receives MIA #30, #90 (3rd round). Current 2026 draft context: MIA (pick 30 orig., 6-11 in 2025); SF (pick 27 orig., 9-8).

What to watch: Watch Dolphins' pick at No. 27, likely EDGE or CB. Monitor 49ers at new No. 30.
