The Miami Dolphins opened the 2025 NFL Draft by picking defensive tackle Kenneth Grant 13th overall and offensive guard Jonah Savaiinaea in the second round. The offseason has signaled a new era for the Dolphins, with the team looking to move on from cornerback Jalen Ramsey and star left tackle Terron Armstead announcing his retirement.

For example, the Miami Dolphins took wide receiver Jaylen Waddle with the No. 6 overall pick in 2021. Waddle, who has averaged just over 1,000 receiving yards per season, has been quite good. However, players picked shortly after him, including Penei Sewell, Patrick Surtain II and Micah Parsons, have become perennial Pro Bowlers.

The Miami Dolphins ' top three picks in the NFL draft weigh a combined 983 pounds. That's how badly the Dolphins needed to get bigger and tougher, so they took defensive tackles Kenneth Grant (339 pounds) and Jordan Phillips (320), along with guard Jonah Savaiinaea (324 pounds) with three of their eight selections.
