A look at every player the Miami Dolphins have taken in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Miami Dolphins are ushering in their new era of football, bringing in a new slew of draftees in the 2026 NFL Draft.
In the first round, the Dolphins brought in Alabama tackle Kadyn Proctor at No. 12 overall and San Diego State cornerback Chris Johnson at No. 27overall. In the second, they selected Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez with the No. 45 overall pick. Now, they continue with their third round selections.
No. 75 Overall - Caleb Douglas, Texas Tech, WR
Douglas is a big body, coming in at 6-foot-3 and 207 pounds. He has a huge catch radius, and can be a big time red zone threat for the Dolphins and quarterback Malik Willis. He finished the 2025 season with 846 yards, seven touchdowns and a 15.6 yards per reception average.
The issue is that Douglas has also struggled mightily with drops, committing seven in 2025. This includes a total of 12 through his collegiate career. He will have to clean this detail up, but it could pan out and be a huge pickup for this offense on the rebuild.
No. 87 - Will Kacmarek, TE, Ohio State
The Dolphins have made an investment into their run game by bringing in Ohio State tight end Will Kacmarek. He is not a traditional pass catcher, but a big-time blocking playmaker.
With the Dolphins focusing in on the run game with De'Von Achane and the mobile quarterback in Willis, they take one of the top blocking tight ends in the draft.
Kacmarek did have 120 yards and two touchdowns, so he could surprise and be an element in the pass game, but will serve more than likely in run blocking schemes.
No. 94 - Chris Bell, WR, Louisville
The Dolphins continue on offense, this time bringing in Louisville receiver, Chris Bell. Bell fell down draft boards due to suffering a torn ACL in November 2025.
There is hope that Bell will be ready to take the field in training camp, but that remains to be seen. Regardless, he put together a 2025 campaign of 917 yards and six touchdowns before suffering the injury.
Bell is 6-foot-2 and 222 pounds, adding speed and bulky size to a strong ability to catch contested balls. Willis should be able to throw the ball up to the young prospect for him to make a play.
Bell's health will be a major talking point, but if he can be ready to play soon and bounce back from his season-ending injury, he will give the Dolphins another solid, big-body pass catcher.
