The Miami Dolphins are cleaning house this offseason and starting all over. Miami already got rid of Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill. On Tuesday, they traded away wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos. This signals a clear rebuild for the Dolphins.

They acquired another first-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft from Denver. Miami will have the 11th and 30th overall selections in the 2026 NFL Draft in the first-round. They will no doubt need a wide receiver in this class after having no depth at the wide receiver position.

Mel Kiper of espn.com created his latest 2026 NFL Mock Draft. He has the Dolphins selecting Arizona State Sun Devils wide receiver Jordyn Tyson 11th overall in his latest mock draft. Kiper said, “I originally had right tackleFrancis Mauigoa (Miami) here;Austin Jackson has played 14 games combined over the past two seasons, andLarry Borom is off to Detroit. There’s a hole on the right side of the O-line. But … then the DolphinstradedJaylen Waddle to the Broncos, forcing me to tweak a few picks.Malik Washington and new additionJalen Tolbert are the top two receivers in Miami right now. That isn’t a great setup forMalik Willis, whom the team justsigned for $67.5 million over three years.
Tyson is almost always available to the football, making tough plays in tight coverage. If not for some durability concerns, Tyson would probably be the top receiver in the class. Miami would need him to contribute in a big way as a rookie.”
Tyson is 6’2″ and weighs 200 lbs. He caught 61 passes for 711 yards receiving and eight touchdowns last season, along with averaging 11.7 yards per reception with Arizona State. The Dolphins should not only draft the Sun Devils wide receiver potentially. Miami needs more depth and talent at that position also.
