In this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, the Miami Dolphins do everything they can to surge off the cusp, and finally enter the land of perennial playoff contenders. But can they do enough? The Dolphins are in a tricky position as a franchise. Mike McDaniel — who’s coming off a strong 11-6 season — has revolutionized the modern NFL offense with a cast of speed demons that includes Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert, and De’Von Achane. But past the excitement, dozens of questions haunt the Dolphins. Will quarterback Tua Tagovailoa be extended, and if he is extended, will he be worth that kind of money? Can the talented cast of veterans on defense stay healthy? And can this team — albeit talented and right on the verge of contention — stop getting in its own way? Some of those questions, they’ll need to answer sooner rather than later. But in this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, other areas are strengthened to compensate for that uncertainty.
