2027 What-If Simulation
Malik Willis revives Miami
and reshapes the AFC East
Baseline Mock Draft #2 is re-run under a new premise: Malik Willis leads Miami to an 8-9 season, plays well enough to be viewed as the Dolphins' QB of the future, and the AFC East draft order ripples across Rounds 1–2.
Premise
Miami moves forward with Willis, shifting its early-round priorities away from quarterback.
Direct Teams
NY Jets, Miami, Buffalo, and New England are coded as directly affected AFC East teams.
Board Logic
Cards compare each WIF team’s new class against its Baseline draft class.
2 Rounds
All 64 selections are shown on one page with impact badges and baseline context.
AFC East pick movement — Baseline vs WIFLower pick # = moving up

Dolphins#1, #33 → #16, #48
Miami exits the early-QB lane and slides from No. 1 to mid-Round 1.
Bills#29, #61 → #26, #58
Buffalo picks earlier in each round under the WIF order.
Patriots#28, #60 → #20, #52
