Overview

• The Miami Dolphins used their first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to select Kenneth Grant, a 6-foot-4, 331-pound defensive tackle from Michigan.
• Grant brings run-stuffing ability and interior pass-rush potential, recording 6.5 sacks over his last two college seasons.
• The selection addresses a pressing need on the defensive line following the free-agency departures of Calais Campbell and Da'Shawn Hand.
• Miami's decision comes as they prepare to trade All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey, creating a significant need in the secondary.
• Other top prospects, including cornerbacks Will Johnson and Jahdae Barron, tight end Tyler Warren, and offensive lineman Grey Zabel, were still available at the time of the pick.
