We take a look at some of the top prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft starting at guard and center.
The NFL Draft for 2025 is just over a week away. As NFL teams close in on the addition of college prospects for this year, it is time we took a look at some of the top players at the Miami Dolphins’ positions of need. To start this series, we will work our way through some of the interior offensive linemen who could find their way to South Florida soon.
The list below started with the top five rankings from NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks, then continued to expand with the addition of other players from other rankings around the web. Throughout, if the website provided analysis on the player, that is included as well.
If the Dolphins were to select someone from this list, who should they take and when should they make a pick to address the offensive line? Is there someone this list misses who should be in consideration? Head to the comments to discuss.

PFF: 1 (Guard)
CBS Sports: 1
SB Nation Consensus Rankings: 1
NFL (Lance Zierlein): Round 1-2. Two-year starter and team captain with elite physical traits. Booker is a downhill run blocker with average explosiveness into first contact, but he utilizes his size and power to overtake defenders in the second phase of the block. He can play too far out over his toes but that’s correctable. Booker is an average athlete in protection but makes up for it with technique and football intelligence to defend against twists. He’s tough, smart and a top leader. The traits, football character and play strength will make him a good starter for a downhill, power-based attack.
ESPN: Booker covers up defenders and gets some push in the run game. His footwork is sound on zone runs, and he takes sound angles working up to the second level. He is an outstanding competitor who plays with an edge and to the whistle. Booker doesn’t change directions well on tape, but he’s an effective pass blocker who delivers a powerful punch. His outstanding length makes him tough to get around. His size makes him tough to move. He identifies assignments and communicates with teammates. He picks up line stunts and pressures. — Steve Muench
PFF: Booker has some foot speed and balance issues that keep him from being a blue-chip prospect, but there is still a lot to like as a powerful, well-built, competitive and high football IQ guard prospect for a man/gap heavy run scheme.
CBS Sports: Tyler Booker is a massive road-grader with heavy hands and an elite motor to play through the whistle on almost every snap. He excels at moving and pulling in space as well as displacing defenders on double teams. He’s experienced with over 2,000 reps vs. high-level competition.
SB Nation: Booker received all but one first-place...
