"But we need some perspective on how long a , might take when it comes to making the playoffs and then winning a postseason game. Looking at the current roster and projecting out for the next two years, there's almost no way the rebuild, which should start in the trenches Dolphins win a playoff game before 2027. And we could be looking at 2028 until the Dolphins are realistically equipped for a postseason win."
"As background, the Dolphins have good draft capital in 2026 considering they have one first-round pick, one second-round pick and three third-round picks. They also have a fourth rounder, a fifth rounder and a seventh rounder. But coach Mike McDaniel has a 30-30 regular-season record, which is a huge disappointment considering he's coached the best talent the Dolphins have had in two decades. The Dolphins should have won a playoff game in the McDaniel era, which started in 2022."
The Dolphins are entering an inevitable 2026 rebuild that has already begun and likely will prevent a playoff victory until at least 2027, possibly 2028. Current roster holes concentrated in the trenches need multi-year development. Draft capital in 2026 includes a first-round pick, a second, three third-rounders and mid-to-late selections, offering retooling opportunities but not immediate elite-level depth. Coach Mike McDaniel owns a 30-30 regular-season record despite talented rosters, and the McDaniel–Tua Tagovailoa tandem faces mounting pressure after a 2–7 start. Winning a postseason game likely requires more sustained talent influx and time to coalesce.
