Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesD+ FutureB+
The jury is out on the Dolphins. For now, C+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Cole Payton at pick No. 94, a reach of 104 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

On value alone, Cameron makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick30 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
In pick No. 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at the 47th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at the 84th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at pick 87 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
They reached into another round for Michael Trigg, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jalon Kilgore
A reach for Jalon Kilgore in the 92nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cole Payton
A real head-scratcher, Cole Payton in Round 3, Pick 30 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker in No. 151 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
A tidy little value on Charles Demmings in slot 152, a step better than break-even. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick214 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
They paid up for Nick Barrett at the 238th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
