The Miami Dolphins are set to make significant moves in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, holding seven picks in the first 100 selections. With new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley at the helm, the team is focusing on addressing key roster gaps, particularly at wide receiver. NFL insider Albert Breer believes the Dolphins will draft at least one wide receiver within the first three rounds, leveraging their two first-round picks strategically. The team has recently traded away Jaylen Waddle and released Tyreek Hill and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, leaving a noticeable void in their receiving corps. To fill this gap, they have added Tutu Atwell, Jalen Tolbert, and Terrace Marshall Jr., but further enhancements are necessary. Breer speculates that Omar Cooper, a 6-foot, 200-pound receiver from Indiana with 115 catches for 1,798 yards and 22 touchdowns over the past four years, could be a strong fit for Miami’s needs, although he may be selected before the Dolphins' first-round picks.
