Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley may have just dropped a clue about Miami’s intentions with their early picks in the 2026 NFL Draft
The Miami Dolphins’ wide receiver situation looks shaky right now. Jeff Hafley seems to have faith ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Jeff Hafley‘s first year as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins is going to be a wildly entertaining ride. The Dolphins have not been shy about their need to tear things up and start over.
That process was underscored when Miami chose to trade wide receiver Jaylen Waddle away for first and third round draft picks. And it left some folks scratching their heads about the situation the Dolphins are putting new quarterback Malik Willis into. But on an appearance on the Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams, Hafley offered some confidence about who Miami has at their disposal — and seemed to drop a clue about Miami’s intentions with some of their marquee draft capital next month.
Jeff Hafley wants you to stay tuned before judging the Dolphins pass catchers
“(Malik Willis) is gonna throw the ball to some good players. We’ve got a bunch of good guys coming back, bunch of guys that we signed. And we’ve got a lot of draft picks — a lot of them. We’ve got seven in the first 100 picks.”

The Dolphins own picks no. 11, 30, 43, 75, 87, 90, and 94 in the top-100 of the 2026 NFL Draft as things currently stand. With those picks, Miami will have a chance to pick from between more than a dozen wide receivers in this year’s class. There could be as many as 18 wide receivers in play.
General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said this week that the 2026 class is filled with good options in rounds two through four. Is that a further clue for Miami’s intentions? Probably. Although we’ll need to wait to be sure. What we do know now is that Hafley seems unconcerned with the wide receiver situation. Perhaps we should wait until after the draft before deciding we actually are, too.
