The Miami Dolphins made headlines by snagging two notable players in the 2025 NFL Draft, both of whom were recognized in ESPN's top 100 draft picks. Quarterback Quinn Ewers, selected in the seventh round (pick 231), showcased impressive college stats with nearly 3,500 passing yards and 31 touchdowns in his final season at Texas. ESPN's analyst Matt Miller noted Ewers as a potential 'developmental starter' for the Dolphins, especially considering Tua Tagovailoa's injury issues. On the defensive front, they picked defensive tackle Jordan Phillips from Maryland in the fifth round (pick 143). Phillips brings first-step quickness to fill in the 3-technique spot left vacant by Christian Wilkins' departure. Miller expressed confidence in Phillips's ability to thrive in Miami's defensive scheme.
