Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a B.

The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 154 on DJ Uiagalelei a full 115 spots early.

The Skattebo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Will Fries deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In No. 14 they get a two-high chess piece. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A slide stopped in the 48th pick, with Tate Ratledge worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 98 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
The board fumbled Deontae Lawson all the way to the 117th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in pick 149 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 DJ Uiagalelei
They left a pile of value on the table to take DJ Uiagalelei this early at pick No. 154. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
Circle this one: Mason Taylor at the 191st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at slot 224. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jack Kiser in Round 7, Pick 15, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Taking Jared Wilson in No. 252 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
