Summary
Will Kacmarek is a traditional in-line tight end who operates as a reliable safety valve for his quarterback. He isn’t a primary target, but his size and dependable hands make him a steady option on short and intermediate routes. His greatest value comes as a blocker, where he uses strength and positioning to displace defenders, aiding both the run game and perimeter screens.

Dolphins' Will Kacmarek: Selected by Dolphins
The Dolphins selected Kacmarek in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 87th overall.
In a Day 2 where several teams made dubious tight end selections, the Dolphins probably made one of the better ones. Kacmarek (6-foot-6, 261 pounds) is potentially an AJ Barner type out of Ohio State, or at worst an Adam Trautman. Kacmarek is a rugged blocker who can amplify the run game, and he has enough athleticism to hurt the defense if they don't defend him honestly as a potential pass catcher (4.74-second 40, 36-inch vertical jump). Kacmarek is unlikely to be a fantasy factor, but don't be surprised if he's in frame, driving some defender backward on a lot of De'Von Achane's big plays.
