Miami Dolphins 2025 Three Round Mock-Draft.
The Miami Dolphins selected Chop Robinson with the 21st overall pick in the 2024 draft.
Another year, another disappointing finish for the Miami Dolphins. Injuries, inconsistent play, and a struggling offensive line once again held the team back in 2024, with Tua Tagovailoa missing time and the offense failing to find stability. While the roster still has plenty of talent, there are serious questions about the future—especially with the offensive line needing a major overhaul and a potential Tyreek Hill trade. On paper, the Dolphins should have enough firepower, but adding depth and long-term solutions at key positions will be crucial especially at offensive line. In this seven-round mock draft, we’ll look at how Miami can address its biggest weaknesses and build a roster that can finally take the next step but also build for the future.
Round 1 Pick 21: Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon celebrates after big play for Oregon.
Trade Alert! The Dolphins moved back from pick 13, striking a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers to acquire the 21st pick, the 52nd pick, and a 2026 sixth-rounder. With Miami needing to address multiple areas, this trade made perfect sense—adding an extra second-round pick while still staying in range for a quality first-round talent.
With the 21st overall pick, Miami addresses a sneaky need by selecting Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon. While the offensive line remains a major concern, the defensive interior needed reinforcements as well. Harmon brings size, power, and an underrated ability to disrupt both the run and pass. The 6-foot-5 310 lb. interior linemen would be a huge upgrade with Christian Wilkins gone, Zach Seiler being near the back end of his career and depth at defensive tackle thin, Miami couldn't afford to ignore the tremendous talent of Harmon who has been balling out all year and now at the senior bowl.
Round 2 Pick 48: A Familiar Family Coming to Miami?
Mason Taylor game winning two-point conversion vs Alabama
With the 42nd overall pick, the Miami Dolphins select LSU tight end Mason Taylor, son of Dolphins legend Jason Taylor. While Jonnu Smith has been a very solid receiving option, he’s getting older and isn’t much of a blocker—something Miami desperately needs at the position. Taylor, on the other hand, brings a well-rounded skill set, offering both pass-catching ability and the blocking chops to help stabilize the offensive line.
Miami’s offensive firepower isn’t what it once was, especially with the looming uncertainty around Tyreek Hill’s future. Adding Taylor who has had one of the best senior bowl performances this year this gives the Dolphins a reliable target who can contribute immediately while also helping in the run game. This pick not only fills a need but also brings a familiar name back to the franchise, making it a win-win for Miami.
Round 2 Pick 52: Right Back to LSU
Emery Jones with Mason Taylor and Kyren Lacy in the back.
With the 52nd overall pick, the Miami Dolphins go back to LSU, selecting offensive lineman Emery Jones, who will primarily play guard at the next level. Jones had an outstanding week at the Senior Bowl, showcasing his strength, toughness, and determination to finish every block. Miami's offensive line has been a major weakness, and Jones brings the kind of physicality and grit this unit desperately needs.
While he has the versatility to play both tackle and guard, Jones’ strength at the Senior Bowl proved that guard is his best fit, where he can provide immediate help in both the running game and protecting the quarterback. This pick is more than just filling a hole—it’s about adding a tough, hard-nosed player who can set the tone for Miami’s offensive line and help give Tua and the running backs more room to operate
Round 3 Pick 78: Miami Trades into the 3rd round
NDSU’s Grey Zabel blocking an oncoming defender.
Trade Alert! The Dolphins make a move, trading up with the Arizona Cardinals to grab the 78th overall pick, sending picks 98, 156, and a 2026 sixth rounder in return. This trade adds an extra 2027 seventh-round pick but allows Miami to target a player they believe has immense upside.
With the 78th pick, Miami selects defensive tackle Grey Zabel out of NDSU. Zabel impressed at the Senior Bowl with his rare combination of size and agility, and at 6'6" and 305 lbs, he has the potential to develop into a dominant force along the defensive line. While he's still a bit raw, his massive frame and ability to disrupt plays make him a high-reward pick for Miami. If he can refine his technique, Zabel could become a key contributor in the near future, helping shore up Miami’s defensive front for years to come.
Summary:
Overall, this mock draft focuses on building the trenches and adding toughness to a Miami Dolphins roster that needs more stability. The selections of Derrick Harmon, Emery Jones, and Grey Zabel strengthen both sides of the line, addressing key weaknesses that have held the team back. Meanwhile, Mason Taylor provides an promising future at tight end, giving Miami a reliable weapon who can also help in the run game.
While questions remain—especially with the Tyreek Hill trade rumors—this draft lays the foundation for a more physical, well-rounded team. By prioritizing the offensive and defensive lines, Miami is taking steps toward long-term success and ensuring they can compete in a tough AFC.
