Summary

Miami Dolphins' pass rush could be in for a major facelift—will Rueben Bain or Arvell Reese headline the next generation of edge threats in Miami's defense? Kyle Crabbs breaks down the top 17 edge rushers on his board and aligns each with the Dolphins' current crop of top-100 draft picks, providing an insider's menu of names at picks 11, 30, and 43 for the 2026 NFL Draft. Insights focus on positional value, player archetypes, and how John Eric Sullivan's GM philosophy may influence draft strategy. Key prospects discussed include TJ Parker (Clemson), David Bailey (Texas Tech), Ahkeem Mesidor (Miami), and potential high-upside options like Keldric Falk (Auburn) and Malachi Lawrence (UCF). Listeners get a comprehensive overview of Miami's options for building a dominant edge rotation, factoring in athletic profiles, off-field concerns, and fit within Jeff Hafley's evolving defense.

0:00.0	I've got 17 edge rushers in my top 100 to go with seven dolphins picks currently scheduled
0:06.2	in the top 100.
0:07.4	That's a recipe.
0:08.2	I like a lot.
0:15.1	You are Locked on Dolphins, your daily Miami Dolphins podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day. All right, Miami, welcome to another episode of Lockedon Dolphins. It is your team every day here on the Lactone Network. I'm your host, Kyle Crabs, a lifelong Miami Dolphins fan, host of Lacton Dolphins, co-host of Lacton NFL scouting, author of of Touchdown Miami on Substack NFL Staff writer for A to Z sports.

1:11.9	need on the roster.

1:20.6	probably just based off positional value norms are not going to see a lot of the top
1:26.9	names get into your lap with the 11th overall
1:29.6	pick. It's not too many drafts where your top edge rushers slip down outside the top 10.
1:36.7	But I do want to give you guys the lay the land. And I'm going to start with the edge rushers
1:41.0	that I have in my top 20.
1:46.3	And there's four of them.
1:49.2	Ruben Bain, University of Miami.
1:50.7	You guys know him well.
