Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureA
The Dolphins won the night they stopped McNeil-Warren from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Emmanuel McNeil-Warren slides to the 90th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not.

They are betting Foster proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Dolphins indulged a want in Wheatley while a need in edge rusher stayed open.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In slot 25 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
In the 30th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They did well to land Emmanuel Pregnon in No. 43, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Eli Stowers in pick 75, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Taking Jake Slaughter in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
The board fumbled Emmanuel McNeil-Warren all the way to the 90th pick, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A reasonable price with a little left over, Devin Moore in pick No. 91. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick92 Rnd3 Sam Roush
Good price on Sam Roush in Round 3, Pick 28, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent the 94th overall pick on Zakee Wheatley, a safety they were not short of.
Pick107 Rnd4 Markel Bell
Markel Bell at the 107th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in pick 112 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eli Raridon. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
A tidy bit of business in slot 152, where Dametrious Crownover graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Nice patience on Zxavian Harris, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 22. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
By-the-book stuff, Jimmy Rolder at pick No. 211 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Lander Barton
No edge and no loss on Lander Barton in the 220th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A real head-scratcher, Bryce Foster in pick No. 227 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor in No. 238 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
They took Nolan Rucci at par in slot 248, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
