Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
D
ValueB+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Wheatley: D. The phones were a trap the Dolphins kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
The Scott pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at linebacker. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
On value alone, Wheatley makes the weekend a net positive. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick32
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In slot 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39
Rnd2
Monroe Freeling
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Monroe Freeling at pick 39. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick43
Rnd2
Zion Young
Zion Young at the 43rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65
Rnd3
Emmanuel Pregnon
They will replay Emmanuel Pregnon at the 65th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
A curious use of pick No. 70. Linebacker needed the pick; a cornerback in Keionte Scott did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Somehow Eli Stowers was still sitting there in pick No. 75, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at No. 90 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jake Golday
Taking Jake Golday in the 91st pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey in slot 92 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick96
Rnd3
Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at pick 96 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104
Rnd4
Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht at Round 4, Pick 4 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at the 111th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jack Endries
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Jack Endries for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Zakee Wheatley
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Zakee Wheatley while clear needs at linebacker sat open.
Pick130
Rnd4
Will Lee III
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 130th pick on Will Lee III with linebacker unsolved.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
They read the board right and Jaeden Roberts was the payoff at pick 151. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152
Rnd5
Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at Round 5, Pick 12 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161
Rnd5
Kaytron Allen
They robbed the room for Kaytron Allen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180
Rnd5
Taylen Green
A straight-up fair deal on Taylen Green at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183
Rnd6
Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in slot 183 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188
Rnd6
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ar'maj Reed-Adams reach the 188th overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227
Rnd7
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris is a better player than the 227th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
