Who is still on the board as the start of the second day of the 2025 NFL Draft approaches?
The 2025 NFL Draft completed its first round on Thursday, bringing the first 32 college prospects into the league as rookies. On Friday, the next two rounds will add another 70 first-year players into the league. Who is still on the board when tonight’s second round kicks off at 7 p.m. Eastern?
SB Nation’s Mark Schofield released his list of the best players remaining late last night, updating JP Acosta’s pre-Draft rankings for the picks made on Thursday. We take a look at the list and provide some thoughts on some of the players who could be targets for the Miami Dolphins tonight.
The rankings below are SB Nation’s Pre-Draft rank for each player.
9 – Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
The Dolphins have a need at cornerback – even if they do not trade Jalen Ramsey, though that relationship seems broken at this point – so Johnson has to be a consideration. Concerns about his knees have forced this slide, but if the Dolphins can make a move up the draft board without paying a ransom, or Johnson continues to fall, Miami might have to land Johnson.
17 – Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
18 – Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
23 – Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
25 – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
How long will Sanders continue to slide? Originally believed to be in the debate for the top overall pick, Sanders might force teams to over bid if they want to force the Browns out of the top spot in the second round to acquire Sanders. Or Cleveland may just end the slide as soon as day two opens.
27 – Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State
28 – Shavon Revel Jr., CB, East Carolina
Two more cornerbacks for the Dolphins to consider. Corner seemed like the biggest faller among positions this year, and that could play perfectly into the Dolphins’ hands. Revel might be the better player early in his career, while Thomas might need a year to develop – though Revel is coming off a torn ACL that could be a concern. Thomas is probably more of a press corner while Revel is a zone option.
29 – Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
32 – Marcus Mbow, OG, Purdue
I doubt Mbow is available for the Dolphins at 48, but it he is on the board, Miami needs to be running to turn in their draft card. A move up could be in the cards here as well.
38 – Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
40 – Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
41 – Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
He might be lower than some other corners on the rankings from SB Nation, but Amos would not be a bad option for the Dolphins to find a Week 1 starter at cornerback. Tall and a good press-coverage player, he works well in both man and zone coverages.
43 – Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo
44 -Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State
45 – Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee
46 – Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame
47 – Alfred Collins, DT, Texas
48 – Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
49 – Charles Grant, OT, William and Mary
A former wrestler who uses that foundation in his blocking, Grant will need development time at the NFL level to reach his full potential. He is listed as a tackle, but he might need to move inside as a guard.
50 – Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
This is a 100 percent run to the podium type of player for me. The Dolphins need secondary help, and while cornerback is the focal point, a safety like Emmanwori provides a lot of coverage options for the defense. This would be a steal for Miami.
51 – Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
52 – Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
53 – Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
54 – Treyveon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
55 – Tate Ratledge, OG, Georgia
This might not be a sprint to the podium type of pick, but a good solid jog up there would make sense. Ratledge may not be the best guard in the league during his career, but he is going to be a tough, solid player who is going to start for you for years and you will not hear his name – exactly what you want from an offensive lineman. He will immediately start and the Dolphins need an immediate starter at guard.
56 – Jamaree Caldwell, DT, Oregon
57 – Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
59 – Jonah Savaiinaea, OG, Arizona
He will probably need some coaching and development time to reach his full potential when compared to Ratledge, but Savaiinaea is a big man who will be able to set blocks in the middle of the line. He worked as a tackle in college, but will be a guard in the NFL.
60 – Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas
61 – Billy Bowman Jr., S, Oklahoma
62 – Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
63 – DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State
64 – Jack Bech, WR, TCU
65 – RJ Harvey, RB, UCF
66 – Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
67 – Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State
68 – Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville
69 – Bradyn Swinson, EDGE, LSU
70 – Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State
71 – Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State
72 – Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
73 – JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
74 – Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA
75 – Harold Fannin Jr, TE, Bowling Green
