For example, the Miami Dolphins took wide receiver Jaylen Waddle with the No. 6 overall pick in 2021. Waddle, who has averaged just over 1,000 receiving yards per season, has been quite good. However, players picked shortly after him, including Penei Sewell, Patrick Surtain II and Micah Parsons, have become perennial Pro Bowlers.

Headlined by Cam Ward going No. 1 overall, the Hurricanes had seven total players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.

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.
