Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Dolphins this weekend: A-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Dolphins spent pick No. 244 on Eric Gentry, a name the board had a full 108 spots lower. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They banked enough surplus on Golday to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Dolphins paired the rookies with proven help, Graham Barton leading the way.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
No edge and no loss on Gabe Jacas in pick No. 45; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Nice patience on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, who had no business lasting to pick 63. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 70th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jake Golday
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jake Golday in Round 3, Pick 20, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore in the 90th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keylan Rutledge well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at pick No. 94 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Markel Bell
The board had cheaper options than Markel Bell at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at the 97th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover in the 106th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mason Reiger this early at pick 116. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Nyjalik Kelly
Nyjalik Kelly at slot 130 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
The board had DeMonte Capehart higher than No. 151, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in Round 5, Pick 15 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeff Caldwell. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They took Robert Spears-Jennings at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick229 Rnd7 John Michael Gyllenborg
By-the-book stuff, John Michael Gyllenborg at Round 7, Pick 13 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
A big swing on Jack Kelly at the 238th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at No. 244 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Adam Randall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Adam Randall. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Deven Eastern
A wild overpay on Deven Eastern in pick 248, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
