Dolphins Select Kevin Coleman Jr. with 177th Pick

The Miami Dolphins have selected Missouri wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. with the 177th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He has played for four teams in as many seasons, beginning his collegiate career with Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders, and coach Deion Sanders at FCS Jackson State. Coleman has a slender build, but he moves smoothly and reaches top speed quickly. He profiles as one of the purest slot-only receivers in this draft class, which will put him at a disadvantage in finding the field in heavier packages. The Dolphins had one of the weakest wide receiver rooms in the league after trading away Jaylen Waddle, and they have now spent three picks at the position after selecting Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell in the third round. Coleman offers a completely different skillset, but he will have to wrestle snaps away from veteran Malik Washington to gain any true fantasy relevance.
