Heading into the 2026 NFL<\/a> Draft, the biggest question for the Miami Dolphins<\/a> is how they\u2019ll strengthen the pass-catching group for incoming quarterback Malik Willis. During the offseason, the team parted ways with Tyreek Hill and traded Jaylen Waddle.<\/p>\n That has raised concerns that Willis could be at a disadvantage, given the current pass-catching options and the departures of two key receivers. Although the Dolphins can add via the draft, the players will still be rookies.<\/p>\n As a result, could Miami go the trade route and reunite Willis with a former teammate from the Green Bay Packers<\/a>? FOX Sports\u2019 Ralph Vacchiano urged the Dolphins to pursue Packers tight end Luke Musgrave. As part of his trade idea, Vacchiano proposed that Miami send a 2026 fifth-round pick (151st) for Musgrave.<\/p>\n \u201cFirst, the Dolphins should be in fire sale mode, getting rid of every valuable asset they have for draft picks,\u201d Vacchiano wrote in his April 8 article<\/a>. \u201cBut while they\u2019re doing that, they can\u2019t leave new QB Malik Willis without help on offense, especially if they\u2019re trying to see if he can be their quarterback of the future. So it makes sense to bring at least one familiar weapon from Green Bay with him. <\/p>\n \u201cMusgrave didn\u2019t exactly light it up for the Pack after Tucker Kraft tore his ACL last year, but he\u2019s still a 6-foot-6 target with good receiving skills who has been battered by injuries in the first three years of his career. There\u2019s an upside and the cost could be low, since Kraft is coming back to the Pack.\u201d<\/p>\n Malik Willis Gets Good News From Dolphins HC<\/p>\n Amid concerns over Miami\u2019s pass-catching options, Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley shared good news for Willis, noting that the team intends to bolster the wide receiver group to ensure their new QB has the weapons needed to succeed in the 2026\u00a0NFL\u00a0season.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s going to throw the ball to some good players,\u201d\u00a0Hafley told Kay Adams on the March 30 edition of \u201cUp & Adams.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019ve got, we\u2019ve got a bunch of good guys coming back, a bunch of guys that we signed, and we\u2019ve got a lot of draft picks, a lot of them.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve got seven in the first 100 picks. We\u2019ll have receivers for Malik to throw to. The next time you talk after the draft and as we get the players here, I think you\u2019re going to see we\u2019ll get some good ones for him to throw to.\u201d<\/p>\n Miami Lands Blunt Take on De\u2019Von Achane\u2019s Future<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Dolphins are in a challenging situation with De\u2019Von Achane, who is eligible for a contract extension, and there\u2019s uncertainty around his future. Achane is the only proven weapon that Miami has, and WQAM\u2019s Channing Crowder gave a blunt take regarding the running back\u2019s situation and whether he\u2019ll be staying with the Dolphins.<\/p>\n \u201c[Achane] will not touch the field in Miami Gardens until he has more money in his bank account,\u201c\u00a0Crowder said in an April 8 video from WQAM<\/a>. \u201cThis is his hit. This is the time he has to hit somebody in the head. He\u2019s a poker player. [Achane can] go out there at OTAs and tear [his] knee up.<\/p>\n \u201cNow y\u2019all take [his] money down to $5 million a year, and not $20 million a year? No, he\u2019s not coming without a contract. I\u2019ve been saying that the entire offseason.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tEduardo Razo<\/a> Eduardo Razo is a sports writer for Heavy.com, covering the NFL, MLB, and college football.
