As of this writing, the Dolphins first pick will come at #21 in the 1st Round. It’s possible we stay there, or it’s also possible we trade back to acquire another pick or two, considering the huge gap we have after our 2nd Round pick (#55) and our next pick in Round 5 at #158, which is over one hundred picks later. It’s possible Grier could trade up into an earlier using draft capital from next year’s draft, but the trade back is the more likely means of getting an extra pick or two. The roster is in need of instant contribution, this is not the time to start grooming guys for next year or beyond, we need at least two of our players to be playing significant snaps this season right out of the chute.
In our own FMU Mock Draft, the consensus chose interior offensive lineman from Oregon Jackson Powers-Johnson. Whether you subscribe to the theory that our center is already on the roster in Aaron Brewer or not, most experts feel JPJ will be an excellent NFL center for the next decade or so. JPJ could also slide to OG, most likely RG, where Robert Hunt was last season. We signed OG Robert Jones to a one year deal and he’s penciled in at RG at the moment, with Isaiah Wynn, also here for a one year contract at LG. We need a player to be a force on that O-line this year and beyond, because next season the majority of the O-line disappears, with the exception of OC Aaron Brewer and RT Austin Jackson, and if Brewer doesn’t improve on his pass blocking, we may wish for him to disappear! LT Terron Armstead, LG Isaiah Wynn, RG Robert Jones, OT/OG Jack Driscoll, OT’s Kendall Lamm and Kion Smith are all GONE in 2025. We do have our full complement of draft picks in 2025, and could potentially have the money to sign a 2nd or 3rd tier FA or two, and we’ll probably have to considering 3 of our 5 starting OL right now are not on the roster in 2025. Be confident that one of our first 2 picks will be on the O-line.
There’s been some hype that we might take a WR with our first pick. I don’t see it happening, and I truly hope it doesn’t happen. WR Brian Thomas carries a similar grade to a few guys we chose in our own Mock Draft, players like OLB Laiatu Latu, OLB Chop Robinson, DE/DT Byron Murphy, OT Troy Fautanu, OT/C Graham Barton and OT Olumuyiwa Fashanu, and I believe any one of those guys would make a larger impact on our season and roster than a 3rd WR, but I suppose that’s partially up to HC Mike McDaniel. The other WR often mentioned is the fastest WR in the draft, Xavier Worthy from Texas. He would be a huge reach at #21, but would make more sense ( not to me!) after trading back.I like to stress how much flux this team is in, because it concerns me. We just took the 5th year options on WR Jaylen Waddle and OLB Jaelan Phillips. S Jevon Holland is a Free Agent next season, and if he has a healthy season and plays well, may as well kiss him goodbye, unless of course we’re willing to pay ridiculous free agency prices. Perhaps after June 1st, we’ll address Holland, but we did just let 2 talented young starters walk in Free Agency just a short while ago, so we’ll see what happens there. BTW, we also have yet to give Tua that big contract, but there’s speculation it might come after June 1st, where more cap money will be available. I find that odd because so many here were sure that the Tua extension was going to be the enabler to keep our own players entering FA, and his extension would likely have a small 2024 cap hit. Who knows?
On the NFL’s draft page, they list our top needs as OL, DL, and TE. I can agree with one and two, not so much on 3. We picked up TE Jonnu Smith, and I think he’s going to be very good in our offense. Would it be nice to have TE Brock Bowers, who is a George Kittle type of TE, sure, but he should be long gone by #21. I’ve seen a lot of buzz about Texas TE J’aTavion Sanders to Miami. He’s probably going to be a 2nd or 3rd RD pick at the latest, and we have more pressing needs than a TE. If we go O-line with #21, I’d expect either a DT/DE at #55 or and OLB pass rusher type of player there. With both Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb rehabbing from serious injuries, and achilles tear and ACL surgeries, we need to have an impact player available to pair with the aged OLB Shaq Barrett. We no longer have AVG to come and save the day. Also, it’s possible that our cobbled together D-Line of JAG’s (with the exception of Zach Sieler) could be fine, but I’d like to add some young, impactful talent there too. You win in the trenches, or maybe more fitting, we’ve been losing in the trenches. I want a playoff ready team that’s tough in the trenches and able to take on the bad boys like Buffalo, KC and Baltimore.
I fully expect to be angry after our draft (I know, I’m always angry, right?), but I hope to be pleasantly surprised. Shore up the O-line and get a top notch pass rusher, whether he’s on the D-line or at outside LB, just find one! We could use a WR if Erik Ezukanma doesn’t have a breakout season. We definitely need a Safety, especially if we don’t give our young up and coming star Jevon Holland an extension, and even if we do. We lost both DeShon Elliott and Brandon Jones in free agency, and Jordan Poyer is 33 today, Happy Birthday Jordan! Poyer is also here on a 1 year contract, like I said, a whole lotta 1 year contracts. There’s going to be a lot of new players on this team in 2025, good thing we have all our picks and then some! Here’s to hoping for the best and expecting the worst as always! Enjoy!
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
MOB got JJ McCarthy to the Vikes correct!
can you bring it over here please, y’alls draft
CHICAGO BEARS - QB Caleb Williams
WASHINGTON COMMANDERS - QB Jayden Daniels
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS – QB Drake Maye
ARIZONA CARDINALS – WR Marvin Harrison
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS – OT Joe Alt

I wonder who Minny was bidding against…
That’s the only explanation to me. Thus… somebody else wants a QB. I’d bet it’s the Broncos.
Gotta believe at this point that Bo Nix is going to be selected by the Broncos.
should know in a couple of picks
hot girlfriend
she deserved a little more hugging
My guess is MN felt another team may trade ahead of them and take McCarthy.
Denver
Thanks M
Anytime, my guy!
FUCK! There goes my PSU cat to the stej. YUCK!
it sucks when you have to hate guys you like but you can’t like em so you deal with it
Jets suck
the jests got a good player
but no my favorite fautanu
I love that his moms made him stay and get the degree. hate that he’s now on the Jest
maybe that TE drops to us 🤷♂️
do you take him?
I would not, but that’s just me and my $.02.
He’ll be off the board soon anyway, and before we select.
I do like Janu
Giving up a 4th and a 5th for a QB you think can be a franchise guy isn’t a bad trade. It’s a fantastic trade for MN if he pays off. Not saying I agree…just what MN is probably thinking.
All I can think of is Ponder.
MOB got Bo Nix to the Broncos right!
We are getting this one wrong 🤷♂️😎
LOL!
SIX QBs have gone off the board thus far!!!
you had 6/13 and it went 6/12
that’s pretty good
We’ll definitely have a few players to choose from.
Pretty wild we haven’t had a single defensive player taken.
we actually got the amount of QBs right in our draft….
it was t too many
son,
All I can think of is Ponder’s girlfriend.
Good eye
(no offense)
For whatever it’s worth, the MOB had PREDICTED 6 QBs would come off the board before we select. There is going to be TALENT there when we select.
There goes Brock Bowers to the Raidaz.
There goes Bowers!
Are we partying at you’re place tomorrow?
yup there he goes M
Better there than Jets
didn’t the raiders draft Michael Mayer last year?
Apparently yes
Think so
I cannot believe Taliese Fuaga is still available. Did he do something with a bong mask?
Him and Turner are OUR fallers
So far so good!
Sonny – sure, let’s party! Can I see who we pick first tho? 😏
I would love to come up, couple more years in the salt mine and I will.
Then go crash in the Pigg pen 🐽🥃😁
we will be ready when you are ready for your nyc tour
yup
All of these quarterbacks going earlier than people thought is great for us
YESSIR!!!
Raiders are idiots … why draft 2 star TEs 2 years in a row?
There goes Taliese Fuaga to the Saints.
We are going to have a lot of great players available
figured fuaga would go
Should start seeing some defensive guys now
He don’t look too thrilled 🤔
I think I saw Alt playing against Bugs Bunny
Turner still there. wow. he’ll be gone in next 3 picks
I’m VERY surprised no CBs have come off the board thus far.
There goes Laiatu Latu
there goes Latu. Now I’m zeroed I’m on OL
Colts mess with everyone’s mock
Damn, Latu gone, but still plenty of really good players. We must get one
lots of excellent players still left
If we see a sudden run on CBs, we’re going to be able to trade back from R1P21 (granted we can find a trade partner) a few picks… and STILL have an outstanding selection.
If we regain our lost 3rd rounder, that would be IDEAL.
agree … we could really use a 3rd this year to build depth. Not sure how this goes, but so far it is a good set up for Fins
Well if he’s another Phillips, we have the genuine article
Next
Latu has that “adhd vibe” you love in a pass rush guy lol
How about them Panthers?
we’re in the top 7 of the defensive players on the board
Maybe TURNER had the bong mask this year
he’s probably gonna be gone soon
Byron Murphy is off the board to the Seahawks.
Jags just traded their pick to the Vikes
Verse still there, Newton too. If those guys go, we’re probably going O-line
who did the Vikings trade up for? WR? Maybe turner?
Dallas Turner to the Vikes! Nice pick!
4 more picks
best available?
People around here are gonna be ecstatic.
These next 3 picks are going to take about 4 hours
and 20 commercials
I’m already snorting to myself
lol, just got back from karaoke, my neighbor sang Cocaine
man, can Grier lay off a CB ? lol
if we keep the pick
reply to Randy
MF better not. Past my bed time.
I think we lean into our strength, offense. thus, OL because injuries made OL the weakest part of our offense.
Thinking OT
commercial break are really picking up now
Mims to Cincy! Good!
THANK YOU Bengals
Lol. Sorry guys. I meant people in Minnesota are gonna be ecstatic with their picks. My bad.
Damn, Mims was hoping to trade back and get him
Whatever the pick Rock and Mike will hate it.
guaranteed
Lol
Steelers won’t pass on Fautanu. Rams have 3 defensive players to choose from …
Barton is our pick if we don’t trade back
still no DBs taken?
Brian Thomas to Pitt
I think
It’s lining up perfectly for us…to go to commercial the whole time we’re on the clock.
Rams gotta take Verse
Love it
There goes Jared Verse to the Rams!
We will have our pick of Fautanu or Barton
Steelers “left overs” 🙂
Love it??? I fucking hate it! Pretty sure we’re going O-line
The Stealers* really could use a WR, just sayin’…
RIP Mike Pender.
I don’t see trade back opportunities anymore.
Agree
Steelers need another QB
😆
Woohoo! Coming out of commercial for the Steelers pick.
the commercial “curse” is broken?
🤞🤞
We’re on the clock
oh ok, so we’ll get this instead during our time on the clock, smh
worse than a commercial right before we pick
ohhhhh
FUCK! Troy Fautanu is off to the Stealers*!
yup. We will take Barton
FU Steelers
M13: Johnny Newton
Mike E: Laiatu Latu
Pigster: Laiatu Latu
Tim: Chop Robinson
Manitoba: Johnny Newton
Brian: Jackson Powers-Johnson
BB Mike: Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Steve: Chop Robinson
Randy: Jackson Powers-Johnson
UK: Laiatu Latu
Rhino: Graham Barton
Son: Cooper DeJean
Wyoming: Jackson Powers-Johnson
Kong: Jackson Powers-Johnson
Naples: Graham Barton
Barton is a good player, not as good as the guys that went already, but he’s a versatile guy.
We’re draining the clock, maybe a trade
Pick is in! We’re not trading down!
let’s sneak in this commercial
Lmao
all 30 of them
Pick is in
we don’t sign 7 DTs if we are seriously considering DT (i.e. Newton). But, watch, Grier will try to draft TWO CBs with 21st pick lol
surprise….commercial!
DRUM ROLL!!!
There’s the necessary commercial for our pick!
lol, so worst case scenario. Steelers guy, then talk about Steelers pick, then a commercial
lol the trifecta
Who’s the speed demon wr ??
Worthy that’s it
Worthy
They do this commercial BS to us on PORPOISE, I swear.
EVERY. FUCKING. YEAR.
