Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Haulcy: D.

The Dolphins lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

Branch has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. However the rest shakes out, Haulcy at that price is a win they earned.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 11th pick they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Chris Johnson at pick 43 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane slipping to slot 75 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Taking A.J. Haulcy in No. 87 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caden Curry at pick No. 111 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They took Ar'maj Reed-Adams at par in pick 132, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at No. 136 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Good price on Tanner Koziol in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Haynes King
The board had cheaper options than Haynes King at Round 7, Pick 11, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
