Dolphins’ biggest draft gamble looks exactly how fans feared it would

The Miami Dolphins sure were proactive when they wanted players, especially toward the end of just-fired general manager Chris Grier's tenure.

But with that aggressiveness in trades for stars like Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb came a stubborn negligence of the offensive line. That resulted in numerous injuries for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and a hindrance to head coach Mike McDaniel's exotic, multifaceted rushing schemes.

Unfortunately, Grier got greedy again in the 2025 NFL Draft and overcorrected.

Whether it was in response to outside noise or self-evident on-field results, Grier swung big in the second round to get a hopeful cornerstone at guard.
