Cornerback, defensive tackle, maybe guard? On the national networks, everyone has an opinion, and many see the Dolphins taking a cornerback or an offensive lineman.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Over on\u00a0Sports Illustrated, NFL insider Albert Breer\u00a0is hearing something else from his sources around the league. Citing chatter from other teams, Breer is hearing the name Kenneth Grant of Michigan.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Kenneth Grant makes a lot of sense for the Dolphins in round one of the 2025 NFL Draft.<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Grant could very well be the top DT in this year&#8217;s class if not for teammate Mason Graham, who is expected to be taken in the top 10 of round one. Grant is a big football player who plays with a lot of power off the snap and would be an every-down defensive tackle to play next to Zach Sieler.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The\u00a0Dolphins&#8217; need at DT is clear,\u00a0with Sieler being the only one of four on the roster currently with any real experience at the position. Drafting Grant would be smart, but the Dolphins should consider moving down to take him, as 13 is considered a bit high.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The leading position, however, does seem to be cornerback. The Dolphins are in the process of finding a trade partner for Jalen Ramsey and if that happens, the secondary will be void of starting experience on the boundary leaving the Dolphins will big problems, likely bigger than finding a defensive tackle.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Miami is in this position because Grier was unable to manage his roster properly, and he let the cap get out of control. Now, he has big decisions to make that will have lasting roster implications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While this would make sense, it also doesn&#8217;t make sense 2021 NFL Draft | Gregory Shamus\/GettyImages At some point on Thursday night when the 2025 NFL Draft&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43259,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
