What happened
With the 94th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins selected wide receiver Chris Bell from Louisville. Schefter describes Bell as a physical target with strong hands, giving Miami another weapon to stretch defenses. This follows the Dolphins' Day 1 move to trade up and select San Diego State CB Chris Johnson at No. 27.
Why it matters
Bell bolsters Miami's receiving corps ahead of the 2026 season, providing depth to stretch defenses. The pick aids offensive balance after trading EDGE Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles earlier today. It signals Dolphins' focus on weapons and secondary in the draft.
