The Miami Dolphins tore apart their roster this offseason as they begin what’s looking like a massive, multi-year rebuild.
While they signed Malik Willis, the Dolphins are not going to try to go all-in for 2026; they’re building for the future. As part of building for that future, the 11th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft will be very important.
According to ESPN’s Jordan Reid, the Dolphins are “big fans” of one player, Utah offensive lineman Spencer Fano. With such interest in Fano, Reid is reporting the Dolphins would strongly consider him with the 11th pick.
Dolphins are ‘big fans’ of Spencer Fano, would take him 11th overall
“Sources have told me the Dolphins are big fans of Utah lineman Spencer Fano and would take him at No. 11,” Reid reports.
This is a very noteworthy report, as the Dolphins have plenty of different routes they could go down with the 11th pick in the draft.
After trading away Jaylen Waddle and Minkah Fitzpatrick, wide receiver and safety could be options, with players like Carnell Tate, Caleb Downs, Makai Lemon, or Dillon Thieneman all possibilities at 11th overall.
But, as part of this lengthy rebuild, building up the trenches, especially along the offensive line, is a massive priority.

Adding Fano, a lineman who has inside and outside versatility, would make a lot of sense. He could play along the interior, or take up the right tackle spot with Austin Jackson in the final year of his current deal.
Former Green Bay Packers personnel, including GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley, are likely to focus on the trenches, as Green Bay did for a while. And Fano would be a perfect option with the 11th pick.
This is a perfect fit for the Dolphins, and the only question is whether Fano will make it to them. Multiple teams could go Fano ahead of the Dolphins, which could take someone Miami’s front office are “big fans” of off the board.
