Miami Dolphins Target Top QB in 2027 Draft After Malik Willis Era

The Miami Dolphins are entering a new era as they transition from Malik Willis as their starting quarterback for the 2026 season. Following the departure of Tua Tagovailoa and head coach Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins are looking to rebuild their franchise. With the hiring of former Green Bay Packers executives Jeff Hafley as head coach and Jon-Eric Sullivan as general manager, the team is set to make significant changes. As they move forward, the Dolphins have begun to part ways with key players like Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Bradley Chubb. According to Athlon Sports' Luke Easterling, the Dolphins are projected to have the No. 1 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, where they may select Oregon Ducks quarterback Dante Moore. Moore, who had an impressive 30-touchdown season, is regarded as a top prospect and has drawn comparisons to successful quarterbacks like C.J. Stroud and Jordan Love. As the Dolphins prepare for the 2027 draft, they will have a wealth of quarterback talent to choose from, making it crucial for Willis to prove himself as a long-term solution. If he fails to establish himself as the franchise quarterback, the Dolphins will be well-positioned to select a new leader for their offense.
