The Miami Dolphins kicked off the final day of the 2025 NFL Draft with a smart move, trading their fourth-round pick to the Houston Texans in exchange for a future third-round pick and an additional sixth-round pick in this year's draft. The Texans utilized the Dolphins' former pick to select USC running back Woody Marks. With the void at cornerback looming—especially with the potential trade of Jalen Ramsey—the Dolphins have prioritized their offensive and defensive line during the draft.
In the first round, Miami bolstered their defense by drafting Michigan's defensive tackle Kenneth Grant. The team then made a significant trade-up in the second round to acquire Arizona guard Jonah Savaiinaea, sacrificing their 2025 third-round pick for this opportunity. As the Dolphins now prepare for their next selection at No. 143 overall, they possess a total of six picks remaining, including three in the fifth round and two in the seventh.
