Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C-
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in the 111th pick lands the Dolphins a C-, Hunter and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Lee Hunter, the No. 48 name on the board, stolen at the Round 4 slot.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They are betting Kamara proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 28th pick they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenyon Sadiq at the Round 1 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in Round 2, Pick 17 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Blake Miller
Blake Miller slid further than he should have, and pick No. 62 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dani Dennis-Sutton
A reach on Dani Dennis-Sutton in the 75th overall pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 87 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick90 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at slot 90 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Steal is underselling it; Josiah Trotter at pick 92 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Caleb Banks
They will replay Caleb Banks at No. 94 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elijah Sarratt in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Nothing to complain about; Malik Muhammad went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick111 Rnd4 Lee Hunter
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Lee Hunter reach the 111th overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Brenen Thompson
Brenen Thompson in the 112th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II slipping to Round 4, Pick 16 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
Value said wait; Mikail Kamara in slot 130 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Max Llewellyn
By-the-book stuff, Max Llewellyn at pick No. 151 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at Round 5, Pick 15 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They liked Ar'maj Reed-Adams enough to skip the value, taking him in the 163rd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jack Endries
Jack Endries in the 167th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A quarterback of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at No. 227 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
