Dolphins predicted to pursue a new local QB in early 2027 NFL Draft projection.

Docusing on the Miami Dolphins’ quarterback outlook, this piece explores Malik Willis as a potential long-term answer and the possibility of drafting a top signal-caller in the 2027 NFL Draft. It highlights a bold scenario from Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski, who envisions the Dolphins holding the No. 1 overall pick in a way-too-early 2027 mock draft and selecting Darian Mensah, a bright quarterback prospect with a pocket-poised, accurate game and notable mobility. Mensah, who transferred to Miami after two seasons at Tulane and Duke, posted nearly 4,000 passing yards and 34 TDs at Duke, and is praised for elevating the Blue Devils despite limited program talent. The article emphasizes Mensah’s potential to become a face-of-the-franchise player in high-leverage moments, aligning well with a talented Hurricanes roster that could spotlight his abilities.
