Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Jalen Rivers, 97 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Kiser. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 16 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
The board had Barrett Carter higher than the 98th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 114 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick 149 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They reached into another round for JJ Pegues, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
A real head-scratcher, Graham Mertz in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Rivers well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in pick 252 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
