DT Kenneth Grant 6’4 331 – Michigan
Well, all I have to say is I’m quite relieved. I really expected the Dolphins (Chris Grier) to reach for an oft injured CB (Will Johnson, also from Michigan) or a nickel back CB Jahdae Barron. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised after all the OT’s were off the board (Campbell, Membou and Banks), that the Dolphins selected a DT who can start immediately. Grant is a big boy, but he needs to increase his strength and hit the weights. It wouldn’t hurt to shed a few pounds either and be a little quicker and more explosive. He can play DT/DE for Miami opposite Sieler, and he can play some NT as well, although with Benito Jones already here, I think it would serve the Dolphins better to have Grant at DE and Jones at NT.
I don’t have an awful lot to say, it’s one pick, and a pick necessitated by letting Wilkins walk last season. That being said, Grant is a guy who has not found his ceiling yet, and hopefully in Anthony Weaver’s scheme, Grant will flourish quickly and for many years down the line for us, with or without Weaver. No question a pick that satisfies a huge need, we still have a whole lot more work to do. I’m hoping we get an interior OL next, to me that’s the next need. We can take care of CB and S later, first get the big boys. Lots of big boys off the board already as I mentioned, the trio of OT’s Campbell, Membou and Banks are gone as well as OT Grey Zabel, OG’s Tyler Booker and Donovan Jackson also are gone. That leaves OG’s Tate Ratledge, Marcus Mbow, Wyatt Milum and Jonah Saviineah are 2nd RD possibilities, as well as 2 OT’s not yet picked as of this writing, OT Josh Conerly and Josh Simmons. I hope the Dolphins stay on track with the trenches, it’s like building a house, you need a strong foundation.
See you all later tomorrow, I have plans and won’t be around most of the day, I’ll try to catch up before the evening!
GO DOLPHINS!!!

MF, why do you say he’s immobile, he ran the 2nd best time 4.95?
His lateral speed isn’t so great. Another example where straight-line speed can be misleading.
his 10 yard split was 1.72 which was 83% (his 40 time was 95%!!)

Steve – I think we needed more than that. We still need a starting CB, possibly safety too
I think what we have at DB is good enough for a 7-10 team
DBs are only as good as the passrush
MY threshold for our OGs — being we have a 295-pound Center soaking wet — was 320 pounds. We nailed it with James Daniels via FA.
Grier didn’t fail in that department.
we really don’t need 10 picks
the late picks are good for Practice Squad, and maybe 1 keeper
I think it’s safe to say that Jonah is going to be our new starting RG, and James Daniels will be our new starting LG.
I think that looks GRAND on paper!
Still don’t believe we needed to trade up for Jonah. Captain Ahab was chasing a whale…
I agree, but we gave up a late, late 3rd and a late, late 4th (135) and got a 5th (143)
basically gave up 98 plus a little more no big deal
it’s Shough time
his hotie GF wants to go to Nola, wait until she gets there, place is a dump
This guy likes him
only 5 penalties in over 2400 snaps
give him a chance in our system, she’s
he’ll get his penalties up🤪
sheesh
LOL
Well despite the cost , we have addressed both trenches 🤷♂️
YUP! That’s a plus!
we are almost where we would have been if Grier had offered to extend either of Christian Wilkins or Robert Hunt before they became free agents you mean?
I was thinking the EXACT same thing, man.
Mason Taylor to the stej??? YUCK!
Sacrilege
🤮🤮🤮🤮
jets take Jason Taylor’s son
Why not? His father played there as I recall……
There is that stench as well yes
The trade was fine, remember teams target players they like, not salivating over mid round picks.
I disagree, my Brother.
I don’t see any OL going after we picked, nice trade Grief
those 4th and 5th rounders are nice spots to fill out OL and DL depth
Truth!
We need starting caliber players.
what I can say is how many times have we lost players we liked in the 2nd, usually to Ravens
TJ Sanders to the Bills upsets me a little
Only Grier can make a terrible pick and a great one at the same time. Jonah’s a player with great potential and I like the player a lot. Giving up all that for him just looks like a terrible waste of picks. Unless we’re the new inheritor of the Booty Push trophy, you can’t just use your entire draft on two guys in the trench. The rest of the world sees holes throughout our roster, Grier sees opportunity. I hope he’s right for once.
Rock – almost, except Tua has a $212M contract, we extended Hill and Ramsey’s contracts and paid them more. We no longer have Armstead, but on the positive side, we have Jonnu Smith and on the negative, Hill is an asshole and Ramsey is unhappy and is still here despite the richer contract
so is it
LT – Paul
LG – Saviinaea
c – Brewer
RG – Daniels
RT – Jackson
for next season
I will never be able to spell his name
DAMMIT!!!
See?!! We COULD have had Jonah @ R2P48!!! 😡
HUGE FAIL by Grief!!! 😡
could have had Grant at 20 regardless of the text messages….
Good thing we traded up huh guys? That run on offensive line after we picked as brutal…..oh wait NOT ONE ONLINEMAN TAKEN!? you don’t say
^^^
Grief must be afraid of his own shadow, there were several OGs still on the board
someone must’ve deaked him into the trade
someone texted him that there was going to be a run….
I have to hope players like
Winston, Mbow, Milum, Mukuba, Norman-Lott, Ty Robinson, Josh Farmer
last to the 4th round
maybe we should spread rumors that they are all illegitimate sons of Dion Sanders?
I’m ready to start kicking my cat at this point.
HOLY SVUCKS!!! 😡
the floor is relatively high, the ceiling is relatively low
Hopefully the whole will be greater, than the sum of its parts
just saw that Grier traded up- of course he did. Fucking asshole.

Could have traded down to the Cards @ R1P16, picked up their 3rd rounder, and nabbed Walter Nolen. 😡
Good thing we didn’t do that, or Grief would have included that Cardinals 3rd rounder to trade up for Jonah. 😡
Yay JS3
🤮
the guy is just reckless with picks.
Nogtih all
Nogtih, my Brother!
I like the players we got
I don’t care too much about where we could have had them
giving up that 3rd though makes me squeal a little
He fucking traded up for Liam Eichenberg too if you all recall
YUP!
Mel Kiper has Yayha Black rated really high
Grief is going to trade the 1st pick in the 2026 draft for Trey Amos
Can’t believe Amos is still available.
revel to and FSU CB Thomas
and Benjamin Morrison
Brian
What’s worse is how terrible he is after the 3rd round. We’ve had two starter quality players below the 3rd round since he’s been here. AVG and Jason Sanders. I don’t mind him wasting picks after the 4th but that’s not what he does. He wastes the cream of our drafts to basically pick undrafted dudes early. This draft is basically over, and we still need CBs and safeties,
your last sentence: I was literally just thinking the same thing.
bleh
we can probably trade into the 3rd with a 4th or 5th but I’m not sure it’s worth it
might be better just to have 4 players between 114 and 155
Grier blows chunk! 🤮
@flasportsbuzz
Dolphins will hold cornerback tryouts outside the Miami Gardens Sonic at 2 a.m. tonight
^ That’s not a joke, and I only joke on April Fool’s Day.
I love the Jonah pick. That’s the guy I wanted.
82 inch wingspan. He ran a sub 5 40 at 324lbs!
and his college ran a zone scheme.
But as the Draft has revealed, Jonah would have been availed to us @ R2P48. We didn’t need to trade up for him.
Fun fact: no G’s picked after us yet.
So JS is THAT much better than the other G’s left on the board, or Grier fucked up yet again . (Spoiler alert, it’s the latter)
of course he fucked up. Like I said, he traded up in the 2nd to get Liam Eichenberg. He has no fucking discipline!
LT Paul
LG Daniels
C Brewer
RG SavaIInaea
RT Jackson
Very different OL than what we’ve seen. Hopefully they stay healthy.
other than Brewer, it’s a pretty big OL
Shedeur to the Raidaz @ R2P58?
I thought that’s where he’d end up.
not only our the lineman we drafted big, they can both move
Can’t believe Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall, has fallen this far!!!
aside from those guys I mentioned above, I really think TE Jackson Hawes (possibly in the 5th round) can be a nice addition
really good blocking TE
I’d be very good with Hawes.
OH WOW! And the Raidaz pass on Sheduer as well!
Shedeur is now FREE FALLING like Tom Petty. WOW…
Jonah “Bundale Savaii” naea
@flasportsbuzz
Kidding OBVIOUSLY. Grier said he wasn’t worried about corner with regard to 3rd round pick. They have conviction on this player. Grier said he’s a starter and he will play guard and he will explore trading into 3rd round.
Mets just keep plugging!
Awesome!
RAVENS get Mike Green! C’MON! How does this happen?
Ravens always seem to make great picks, Marshal’s Green
Good (BAD) Grief!
Grier has no patience or discipline. It’s a real issue. He falls in love with a guy and blows his draft on him. He’s gotta go
^
fans at the draft are so retarded
Trey Amos to the Redskins.
Yeah… I think it’s time to relieve Grief of his duties as GM.
both Xavier Watts and Andrew Mukuba are still on the board
correct me if I’m wrong but we only saw 1 safety going the first and 1 in the second
is that right?
Starks and Emmanwori
Only Starks. Emmanwori went today on day 2.
yep, he said one in the first and one in the second
Ooopps! Yes, quite correct.
Norman-Lott is gone
It’s one thing if you’re putting a cherry on top of your sundae. Our roster still has so many holes, and those don’t yet include Ramsey and possibly Hill too
And there goes my man Andrew Mukuba to the Eagles.
The Eagles got Jihaad Campbell and Andrew Mukuba after winning the Super Bowl!
Chris Grier needs to go.
Does Shedeur go to the Brownies @ R3P67, or the Raidaz @ R3P68? Or does he fall even farther?!!
The Brownies pass on Shedeur again!
And the Raidaz pass on Shedeur again! WOW!
Mukuba gone now
Well shit. I liked both those picks by the jills and yets.
If Grier gets 2 players that will actually play well even if he had to use all of our picks, that’s a win for him.
And the Broncos’ selection has been over 10 minutes ago. And still we wait… SMH
Crabbs loves the trade and Savaiinaea
after watching him he’s not on the same level as the other available OGs
projected to play RG for us
O is probably set, at least the starters and main players
D is probably set with starters too, unless FA is nice to us
is our short yardage O any better? Should be
that was our biggest weakness last year, unless you say pass pro, that got better too Eichenberg and Jones are out and out
This thing about Brewer only being 289 or whatever, Dwight Stephenson played at 255 when DL were 270-300. Sometimes it’s about technique, not size. 😂
it’s ok now, the rest of our OL are 315, 325, 325 and 330
You don’t want a fat center. 😂
fat ass, but not fat
Savaiinaea has really violent hands, defenders seem to fall forward to the ground a lot
his short choppy steps keep his body balanced, reminds me of Belushi in Animal House, when he runs out of the frat after they got kicked out of school
😂
Are we better off with Savaiinaea, Daniels and Paul or Armstead, Eichenberg and Jones?
It doesn’t really matter anymore, we have a very different makeup on the OL now. We shall see.
I think we want to run often in 2025.
Might see Sanders go in one of these next two picks by the raiders
Nope, lol.
Can Ross even be trusted to pick a good GM if Grier is gone?
As long as the first two guys we picked both start and play better than the likes of Eich, I’m ok with the trade.
I mean, is it even possible for someone to be as bad as Eich?
Let’s not be too harsh on Eich. Some players take time to develop. Give him another 4 or 5 years, and Eich might be a quality 2nd tier backup.
Ryder has an all 22 out on Grant, the first several highlights shows the QBs scared shirtless, then get happy feet😜
Eichenberg is a versatile backup that didn’t pan out as a 2nd round pick. It happens. Not just to us but that’s who we focus on.
Our DC is a former DL as a player and coach at the same position. I think he gets Grant on the right track.
NEW BLOG UP!!!! Read it!
My son is now trying to bet me that Shaddeur Sanders will kill himself. Dark-yes, is he wrong?
