Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B.

Nobody else had Taylen Green anywhere near slot 154. The Dolphins did, by 40 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

However the rest shakes out, Caldwell at that price is a win they earned. The Dolphins indulged a want in Scott while a need in edge rusher and running back stayed open.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In No. 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 30th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot.
Pick43 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Anthony Hill Jr. in pick No. 43. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 75 on Keionte Scott with edge rusher and running back unsolved.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the 87th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Elijah Sarratt graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Sam Roush
Sam Roush in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kaleb Proctor
They took Kaleb Proctor at par in slot 130, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick No. 154 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Taking Jeff Caldwell in Round 7, Pick 11 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 TJ Hall
Fair-plus on TJ Hall, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
