The Miami Dolphins chose Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant as the No. 13 pick in the NFL Draft, which surprised some analysts who expected alternative choices. Analysts noted Grant's explosiveness and strength, making him well-suited for the Dolphins' 3-4 defense. While some graded the pick as solid, others question whether Grant was the best player available, considering other needs in the secondary. Despite varying opinions on the timing and necessity of the pick, Grant's potential as a powerful lineman is recognized.
"The Dolphins could have had Will Johnson... Miami opted to skip the position to draft a nose tackle. Yes, Grant is explosive... But he was 30th on my board."
"This was a little earlier than expected for Grant... He is the perfect defensive tackle to play over the center or between the A-gap and occupy double teams."
"Grant could grow to become a powerful tackle in the Dexter Lawrence mold... It's not clear to me that Grant was the top tackle on the board at No. 13."
"The Dolphins had to get an interior defensive lineman and Grant fits in perfectly. He is a big, power player who can line up next to Zach Sieler."
