Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Dolphins spent No. 215 on Eric Gentry, a name most had 137 spots down the list. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Scott pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Moore pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Olaivavega Ioane at No. 31. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Taking Eli Stowers in the 75th pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
The board fumbled Keionte Scott all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at pick 90 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Devin Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 27 on Devin Moore with edge rusher unsolved.
Pick92 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
They went early on Emmett Johnson in the 92nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at No. 95 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne in Round 4, Pick 8 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in pick No. 111 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Taylen Green
Value said wait; Taylen Green in the 112th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
No drama and no debate, Michael Trigg went about where he belonged in slot 116. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jalen Farmer
They barely believed it either: Jalen Farmer still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Joe Royer
They will replay Joe Royer at pick 147 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover slipping to the 152nd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
They paid sticker price for Zxavian Harris in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein in slot 158 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Caleb Douglas
No edge and no loss on Caleb Douglas in the 159th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
They talked themselves into Jeff Caldwell at the 165th pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A straight-up fair deal on Ar'maj Reed-Adams at pick No. 168, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matt Gulbin. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick182 Rnd6 Febechi Nwaiwu
Fair-plus on Febechi Nwaiwu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
A tidy bit of business in pick 187, where Domani Jackson graded well above the range. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick209 Rnd6 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
They reached into another round for Robert Spears-Jennings, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick215 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 215 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
They paid a round early for Jaren Kanak in the 218th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in the 220th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 John Michael Gyllenborg
They took John Michael Gyllenborg at par in Round 7, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at slot 227 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at No. 231 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Logan Taylor this early at pick 238. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at the 239th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
A big swing on Joshua Braun at the 241st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Enrique Cruz Jr.
A wild overpay on Enrique Cruz Jr. in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Micah Morris
This one needs a full-page explanation: Micah Morris in pick No. 256, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Adam Randall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Adam Randall well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
