Setting the Stage for Day 2 of the Dolphins Draft

Setting the stage for the second and third rounds of the 2025 NFL draft from a Miami Dolphins angle.

The Dolphins will pick 16th in the second round (48 overall) after picking 13th in the first round. Miami is part of a four-team rotation between 13th and 16th each round along with the Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals, all teams that finished with an 8-9 record in 2024.

The Dolphins will pick 34th in the third round, the result of the compensatory pick they received for the free agent loss of Robert Hunt last year. The Dolphins' own pick in the round, the 15th in the round and 79th overall, was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in a draft-weekend trade last year for a 2024 fourth-round pick that was used to select running back Jaylen Wright.
