Tyler Booker is one of the top interior offensive line prospects in the 2025 NFL draft after dominating in the past two seasons at left guard for the Alabama Crimson Tide. He earned First-Team All-American honors from USA Today and CBS Sports in 2024.
Booker’s elite size, athleticism, and statistical output make him a potential first round pick which is uncommon for his position.
In his stellar 2024 campaign, Booker started all 12 games with 11 starts at left guard and one at left tackle. He allowed no sacks and 10 total pressures in 395 pass blocking snaps, according to PFF. He’s shown elite durability as a starting guard, missing just one game due to injury over the last two years.

Fit for Miami
The Dolphins interior offensive line was a consistent weakness last season. Robert Jones and Liam Eichenberg started most of the games at the guard positions, and finished the season with PFF grades of 56.1 and 53.1, respectively.
To make matters even more urgent at the position, Eichenberg, Jones, and Isaiah Wynn are all set to become unrestricted free agents this offseason. Considering the performances of Eichenberg and Jones last season, Chris Grier might want to move in a different direction.
If Jones isn’t brought back, Booker could assume the position he played at Alabama as a full-time starter for the Dolphins. Grier could potentially re-sign Wynn to a cheaper deal to keep at right guard. That would be a quick fix that gives the Dolphins a pair of starting guards.
Bottom line
The Dolphins must address the offensive line in the offseason in order for the offense to be successful. They need to do a better job of protecting Tua Tagovailoa who missed six games in 2024 due to multiple injuries.
The Miami offense also needs to establish a respectable running game similar to the one the team had in 2023. The Dolphins offense went from scoring 27 rushing touchdowns in 2023 to just 12 in 2024.
“This is the time for us to again start investing in some offensive linemen,” Grier said earlier this week.
Selecting Booker with the Dolphins’ first-round pick could give them a day one starter up front.
