Miami Dolphins Eye Generational Talent in Upcoming Draft

The Miami Dolphins are gearing up for the 2027 NFL Draft with hopes of landing a 'generational talent' in wide receiver Jeremiah Smith. As the Dolphins enter the 2026 season, expectations are low due to a new regime under first-year head coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. With Malik Willis, a former Green Bay Packers quarterback, now leading the offense, the Dolphins are projected to have a high draft pick, potentially the No. 2 overall. Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski suggests that Miami could select Smith, who is regarded as the best wide receiver in college football. Smith, a Miami native, has already made a significant impact at Ohio State, setting records and earning All-American honors. The Dolphins currently lack a true No. 1 wide receiver, making Smith's addition crucial for Willis's development as a franchise quarterback. With only one player on the roster exceeding 50 catches last season, acquiring Smith would provide Willis with the necessary support to succeed in the upcoming season.
