Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 149th pick on Trey Zuhn III a full 50 spots early.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. With interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In slot 11 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value.
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 43rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A curious use of pick 75. Interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Keionte Scott did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
They let Malachi Fields come to them and pounced at No. 87. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jaeden Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Jaeden Roberts in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at Round 4, Pick 11 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
They reached a country mile for Trey Zuhn III at the 149th pick, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
A clean, defensible pick in No. 227 with a little surplus value in Joey Aguilar. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
