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.

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.

After reaching the playoffs in each of Mike McDaniel’s first two seasons in charge, the Dolphins struggled in his third season, going 8-9 and missing out on the postseason in 2024.
