Miami Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier addressed media concerns during a year-end press conference regarding the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite common narratives of a weak draft class, Dolphins have an opportunity with a full set of picks for the first time since 2021. They might consider moving up in the draft to secure top-tier talent, reflecting on past decisions—such as selecting Dion Jordan over Lane Johnson in 2013—as a cautionary tale to avoid repeating mistakes. The Dolphins aim to bolster their roster intelligently, balancing between potential trades and holding their 13th pick.
"This draft class is supposedly comparable to the 2013 class, where Miami moved up from pick No. 12 to pick No. 3, and did so spending the draft equivalent of 70 cents on the dollar."
"The talent isn't as good as past years," one AFC evaluator claims about the 2025 NFL Draft crop of prospects.
"With that said, it should be pointed out the Dolphins have a full arsenal of draft picks for the first time since 2021, and should have a variety of options if they hold onto pick No. 13."
"The error Miami made in that draft is they moved up to select pass rusher Dion Jordan instead of offensive tackle Lane Johnson."
