Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA
The Dolphins let James fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: DJ James, the 127th overall pick, roughly 74 picks past where he belonged. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Michael Penix Jr.
They barely believed it either: Michael Penix Jr. still on the board at pick No. 55. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They paid sticker price for Kiran Amegadjie in pick 67, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 DJ James
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, DJ James in the 127th pick, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
The board had Jacob Cowing higher than slot 158, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Keegan at the 184th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at Round 7, Pick 21 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick247 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in No. 247 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
