ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. rated the Miami Dolphins' 2025 draft grade as a C-plus, identifying weaknesses following a disappointing season. The Dolphins failed to make the playoffs and faced significant roster challenges, including the retirement of Terron Armstead and potential trades for key players like Jalen Ramsey. Kiper criticized the team's first-round choice of nose tackle Kenneth Grant instead of addressing critical needs in the secondary, particularly cornerback and safety. Miami's final Day 2 selection focused on the offensive line, revealing a lack of strategic choices to bolster the team's competitive edge.
"The Dolphins missed the playoffs for the first time of the Mike McDaniel era last season, and it was their first losing record at 8-9 since 2019."
"Miami came to Green Bay with some combination of Storm Duck, Cam Smith and Ethan Bonner penciled in at CB2 to replace Kendall Fuller. That wasn't going to work."
