The 2025 NFL Draft is getting ready to kickoff with the first round starting at 8 p.m. Eastern on Thursday night. The three-day selection process will include the second- and third-round picks on Friday, followed by rounds four through seven on Saturday. Across the entire event, 257 college prospects will become NFL rookies.
For the Miami Dolphins, this weekend will be a crucial one in their efforts to bounce back from a disappointing 2024 season. The team has several holes on the roster that need to be addressed during the draft – but will they land players who can have immediate impacts on the team?
The Dolphins hold the 13th pick tonight. Will they trade it? Will they fill a roster hole? Will they have an unexpected player fall to them, one they cannot pass even if it is not a “need” position?
We will keep up with everything happening on Thursday right here.
