Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Dolphins won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Some picks age like wine; Dominic Zvada at No. 227 will need to, sitting 74 spots clear of his grade.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McNeil-Warren. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 11th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value.
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 30th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
They paid a round early for Germie Bernard in pick 43, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in slot 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Max Klare
Max Klare slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They will replay Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 94 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick130 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Will Lee III in slot 130 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
A tidy little value on Dametrious Crownover in No. 151, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at pick No. 227 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick238 Rnd7 TJ Hall
They let TJ Hall come to them and pounced at pick 238. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
