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.

According to a new 2026 NFL mock draft from Pro Football Focus, the Hurricanes are projected to send a pair of players in the first round of the draft next year, with OT Francis Mauigoa landing with the New England Patriots at No. 12, and DE Rueben Bain Jr. going to the Arizona Cardinals at No. 17.

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.
