Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

The war room fell hard for Gracen Halton, and it showed at slot 94: 34 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

On value alone, Golday makes the weekend a net positive. They will answer for taking cornerback early while running back and offensive lineman went begging.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 11th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In slot 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
A straight-up fair deal on D'Angelo Ponds at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
They bypassed pressing needs at running back and offensive lineman to take Treydan Stukes, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick87 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
A conviction pick on Bryce Lance at the 87th pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in pick No. 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at the 94th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Good price on Jack Endries in slot 130, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in Round 5, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at pick 238 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
