SB Nation Mock Draft Sends Miami OT Francis Mauigoa to Dolphins at No. 11
The projection reflects lingering medical questions that could push the once–top tackle into Miami's range.
Overview
- SB Nation’s Community Mock Draft features The Phinsider’s Kevin Nogle projecting Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa to the Dolphins with the 11th pick as a speculative scenario.
- Mauigoa entered the offseason as the consensus top tackle, though Monroe Freeling and Spencer Fano drew more top-10 buzz after strong combine showings.
- He completed combine-style drills at Miami’s pro day with solid testing, yet a reported back injury is cited as a reason his stock might slip from top-five territory.
- The mock frames the pick as a fit for new Dolphins coach Jim Hafley’s pro-style, run-first approach after the team moved on from Mike McDaniel.
- SB Nation’s exercise is a collaborative pre-draft run-through, with actual outcomes determined at the April 23–25 NFL Draft and dependent on team medical evaluations.
