Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Taylen Green a full 43 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Canady. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 11th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In No. 30 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
A reach on Caleb Tiernan in slot 43; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 75 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at the 87th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick92 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Deontae Lawson worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kaleb Proctor
A big swing on Kaleb Proctor at pick 94, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at Round 4, Pick 30 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Taylen Green well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A wild overpay on Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the 152nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Robert Henry Jr.
Robert Henry Jr. at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jadon Canady at slot 238 is the proof. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
