Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Wilson: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jared Wilson, pick 156, roughly 47 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Slater pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 17 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They paid sticker price for Aireontae Ersery in the 48th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick No. 49 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Value with a capital V on Mason Taylor in the 98th pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They barely believed it either: Donovan Jackson still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
A conviction pick on Jackson Slater at slot 135 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Will Howard
Steal is underselling it; Will Howard at Round 5, Pick 12 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in No. 156, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick 226 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
The board fumbled Antwane Wells Jr. all the way to pick No. 233, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in No. 252 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
