The Miami Dolphins have been ranked as having the worst young core in the NFL following the 2026 draft. This assessment comes after the team moved on from key players like Tua Tagovailoa, Jaylen Waddle, and Tyreek Hill.

The Miami Dolphins are in the midst of a period of change.
The Dolphins have recently moved on from franchise cornerstones like Tua Tagovialoa, Jaylen Waddle, and Tyreek Hill, and that has left them with... the worst young core in the entire NFL, according to Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report.
Knox recently ranked the young core of every team in the NFL after the 2026 draft, and the Dolphins came in dead-last on the list.
"After jettisoning veterans like Tua Tagovialoa, Jaylen Waddle, and Tyreek Hill, and drafting a league-high 13 players, the Miami Dolphins are undoubtedly a young team. However, it's too early in the rebuilding process to say that Miami has a good young core," Knox wrote.
"The reality is that we don't know what sort of core the Dolphins actually have, and neither do they. Returning standouts like De'Von Achane and Chop Robinson aside, Miami's roster is one big question mark."
The outlook for Miami's young core could change relatively quickly if some of their draft picks from last month are able to quickly blossom into impact players. Guys like Kadyn Proctor, Chris Johnson and Caleb Douglas provide Miami fans with real reasons for optimism.
Plus, new starting quarterback Malik Willis, 26, is a bit of a question mark himself, as he's only started in six games in his entire NFL career. If he can live up to the potential that the Dolphins see in him, the young core in Miami suddenly starts to look a whole lot better.
